IN RESPONSE TO A MEMBER'S RIGHTFUL REGRET THAT RESEARCHERS WITH CONFLICTING OPINIONS CONFUSE COMMON CONCEPTION ABOUT THE NETAJI DISAPPEARANCE MYSTERY
(APPENDED AND EXPANDED)
The point to be noted here is this. Many claim to be researchers but few are well-groomed in the thoroughness that genuine research demands. Hence, the discrepancies and the consequent differences of opinion.
I stress the word 'opinion' as opposed to 'finding' which is the fruit of pure research. Claim is one, concrete evidence another. Moreover, individual preference, predilection and prejudiced preconception cannot be the criteria for arriving at seasoned inference. If so, such arrivals must be deemed presumptuous.
Objective dispassionate research we rarely come across in this highly emotive issue of the Netaji disappearance mystery which in consequence clouds judgement and, instead of clarifying conceptions, confuses common understanding all the more. The way ahead must be to make individual efforts in gathering facts, gleaning freshly discovered data and ordering them into a synthetic structure of linked data distribution so that a rational sense evolves out of this morass of information and misinformation en route to solving this perplexing puzzle.
Join me in this mission, seemingly impossible but in truth very much possible to resolve, and help generate understanding among the common consciousness by sifting through diverse data and rationalising them to make for coherence of the narrative that today eludes all including the researchers galore.

There goes the bell ringing
Under the surging waves of the sea
When Sir Ralph the Rover comes along
And cuts it with malicious glee.
Subhas Babu, right you are but how will you convince them all? There are so many rival camps among the so-called experts with their conflicting claims and interests. Unless the ego be rooted out and and research assumes sole significance in the minds of these half-baked scholars with their baggage of idiosyncratic predispositions, how can truth emerge in the midst of their self-centred assertions? This is why I ask you to exert yourself to keep studying this contentious issue in order to arrive at your analytic-synthetic sense of it all.
2. @Debankur Mukherjee : The IB files must be there for sure although pages containing sensitive information may, as in the case of other files, have been removed. It eventually is governmental honesty and integrity that will help reveal the documented truth, and this can be enforced upon them by overbearing public pressure forcing them unto it. Moreover, in the case of missing original files, their corresponding 'shadow files' may be traced which will reveal the suppressed truth.
