NETAJI --- MAN, MYSTERY AND MYTH ... 14
Right you are, Ranjan Mitra. These are not researchers as they claim nor activists proper but are professionals, practitioners of this new trade of greater religion that knows hardly any business fluctuations like their sibling occupations in the world of free market do. This particular trade thrives on a continuous suspense kept up by the concerned parties and a thrill of a population addicted to fantastic ideas and fanciful inclinations. Some are making money, some others earning flimsy fame and a few making political capital out of it. Anyhow, through all this the issue of Netaji's disappearance is being kept alive and one only hopes that serious research on his life and death/disappearance will be made whereby this longstanding mystery will be resolved at last and a complete picture of the leader's career will eventually emerge. It is a trained researcher's job, a historian's prerogative and not a child's play to discover the facts as yet hidden under covers for reasons that one may keep guessing but can never be quite certain about.
