OFFENCE BY THE DEFENDERS THEMSELVES

OFFENCE BY THE DEFENDERS THEMSELVES 

Bhagavanji categorically denied the marriage-progeny myth spread about Netaji and, yet, some of his most vocal supporters keep spreading this story, even rationalising it with elaborate but dubious analysis, taking care to cherrypick instances while choosing to ignore the reclusive monk's denunciation of such a blasphemous fabrication forged to undermine Netaji's spotlessly pure personal celibate reputation. How utterly strange that these ones have the temerity to thus malign the hero they project as having been dealt the hard blow of history while themselves being culpable to the same offence! The true followers of Netaji-Bhagavanji never sink to such lowly maneuvering for securing personal ends.

He was busy labouring for his beloved motherland at that time and had scarce any inclination or opportunity to look to petty personal ends. Bhagavanji's denial is in sync with this assessment. An undocumented, unavowed event cannot be fancifully imagined to have taken place.
