All the theories of Netaji's whereabouts post his 18 August, 1945 disappearance need thorough investigation before conclusions may be drawn definitively. It is meet that the Mukherjee Commission Report be tabled before Parliament immediately for further probe into the mystery. Foreign files, the domestic Intelligence Bureau files and the Prime Minister's files related to Netaji need declassification for conclusive evidence to be unearthed that will lead to the resolution of the mystery. Till then speculations will abound, men will take sides as per their predilections and persuasions. Let all subsist without mutual animosity and let healthy debate even rage without noxious rage ruining it all.
May Netaji's spirit animate us all with intense patriotism without fanatical exclusiveness that permits not contrary opinion or divergent ideological persuasion ! May the mighty spirit guide us to plumb the depths of the mystery surrounding him in a civilised and cultured manner as becomes men of mature brewing in the distillery of human evolution !
