NEVER-ENDING MYSTERY

NEVER-ENDING MYSTERY

For a long time I have harboured a hope of bringing together the notable researchers on Netaji to clear public confusion about his many mysteries. But thus far there has been no success in this regard. Also, the evidence they cite, I have often seen, is not foolproof and there are logical imbalances which need rigorous refutation to set the course straight for the said conversation on the Netaji mysteries.

A completely unbiased attitude, a scientific temper in dealing with these issues needs to be adopted if ever we are to settle the doubts forever in the minds of seekers. But what we generally see is frothy emotion along with concrete citing of incomplete evidence which not only deflects discussion but distracts attention from the pertinent points involved.

The best way ahead then is personal effort by brilliant individuals with a rational disposition, a keen intellect and an unbiased mentality. Else, the routine rigmarole that is now evident will continue in the foreseeable future as well and the dense cover over Netaji in disappearance and alleged romantic dalliance will never lift.

So, onward with individual research and uniting with each other thence to arrive at a consensus based upon a rational understanding of whatever had chanced with the hero. If even then doubts linger, the Netaji saga will remain one of those perennial mysteries which even God cannot fathom. But that is yet a far cry. Let us exert ourselves fully first to the cause and leave conclusions for the morrow. Jai Hind !
