NETAJI --- MAN, MYSTERY AND MYTH ... 6


NETAJI --- MAN, MYSTERY AND MYTH ... 6

There is a prime problem in the propagation of Netaji's cause that is faced by many a researcher-lecturer who have insufficient command of the English language and, hence, fail to do justice to the knowledge available to them in terms of bringing it to the fore for the lay public to profit by. Some have also a belaboured way of speaking that bores the audience fast and induces them to switch channel. This is counter-productive for the movement. Another feature often noticeable is the amount of dramatisation some speakers do to present their facts. Not every viewer is amused by such histrionics and here as well the propagation of the message fails. Finally, facts ought to be rationally presented in an ordered manner for them to carry weight and unnecessary meanderings ought to be eschewed to keep the discourse straight.

Focus is the key and the factual content of a talk the prime requisite instead of emotional effusions filling up the audio time of a presentation. It is regrettable that the movement for Netaji's rehabilitation in the public imagination yet has not too many good speakers who can render justice to the content of the talk. And worst of all, the confused arguments and legally untenable propositions that yet tend to sway public opinion do not serve the cause well in the final analysis as they remain in the popular domain of childish fantasy and do not find a foothold in the minds of the men that matter, they who can write credible books or deliver potent speeches to drive home the point. Netaji, thus, remains a forlorn figure in the polity yet on account of insufficient effort made by his devotees and followers who ought to take up the task of right propagation more seriously and with greater sincerity to do justice to the cause.

P.S. : Any help or service that may be required of me to train up any researcher or speaker on Netaji in the art of lecturing in fine diction will be most willingly afforded to such.
