A request to all members in the light of unseemly propaganda that has lately been launched here on this group page by some members for whatever reasons they may be having. This has been specifically brought to my notice by other conscientious members who have sought its redress. I have for the while done the needful by expelling from this group an errant one who was lately propagating unsubstantiated wild theories about Netaji's alleged death at the hands of the British after being sold to them by the Japanese. This is an aspersion cast on an entire people who helped us gain independence like no other nation did and venerate Netaji next to Lord Buddha, so, many say. In consequence to such wild assertions, some of the members who are ardent devotees of Netaji have lost their cool and resorted to vicious counter-attack which is understandable. But do refrain from the use of foul language as it dishonours the hero you adore.
Whatever posts or comments are made here on this page must be evidence-based and civilised in their presentation. A lot of conspiracies have been hatched in the past against Netaji, we all know, and, therefore, in our bid to resurrect his legacy, we must be careful not to entertain deflecting counter-propaganda against him anymore. However, it is my sincere bid to see to it that all versions of his alleged disappearance and death are presented here without favour to any as such and denial to none so that a fair discussion keeps on going among the members as to the validity or otherwise of such theories. This, primarily, is the reason why I generally am liberal in my approval of posts. But should you, dear members, detect in any errant member a sustained attempt to propagate a particular unreasonable and fanciful theory for some such ulterior motive that you feel may be impelling it, do feel free to unhesitatingly bring it to my notice. I can assure you that measures will always be adopted to restrain such pernicious presentations. But do not in the process sully this page by abusive remarks by way of retaliation for it is counterproductive and actually plays into the hands of these mischievous elements.
One more thing and it is this. Do participate more by sending your posts and write-ups copiously so that mere sensationalism or deliberate falsities propagated do not make this page throbbing intermittently with life. May Netaji bless us all !
P.S. : In so far as my administration of this page is concerned, I keep on deleting daily a lot of unrelated or politically motivated posts and prevent their publication here. Still, I always try to remember that I am just another ordinary member like each one of you and, so, maintain a measure of democratic restraint in my functioning as administrator, never allowing myself any undue leeway to force myself in any manner in the deliberations here on this page in general till, of course, things go completely out of bounds infrequently. This allows for the maximum freedom of the members to express themselves either through their posts or through their comments.
