NOTHING CONCLUSIVE YET
Nothing conclusive has been reached about the fate of Netaji beyond speculations, claims and convictions. Legal confirmation, official affirmation is yet necessary to set the seal on inferences arrived at. Only then can the truth be chronicled as certified fact, free of myth and devoid of claims and counter-claims as to its veracity or otherwise. For this we must all work and labour hard at that so that our sustained pressure forces governmental hands to open up files and, so, lay open this Pandora's Box of contentious secrets that are vital to the unravelling of this case. Our work must also be to educate ourselves about the pertinent points of this case whose ignorance can only help the adversarial forces to further conspire and keep this issue from being resolved.
Over-secrecy by the followers of Bhagavanji in this regard in terms of divulging details is becoming counter-productive and pushing the case away from its rightful solution. Superstitious clinging to fantastic notions, impossible hopes of a return to life at the age of 123 in full health and physical vigour is, I believe, proving ruinous to the chances of a successful closure of the case, that is, assuming that the followers of the reclusive monk of Faizabad indeed have material explosive enough to shed light yet on the corridors of darkened gloom. But whatever is available to us already must provide for us the springboard for affirmative action in study and reflection, coordinated pressure-building and cumulative concentration to overcome official inertia, opposition and antagonism towards revelation of the real truth of the eventual fate of Netaji.
