AND NOW IN BOOK-FORM ARRIVES THE DETAILED NARRATIVE OF THE LIFE INCOGNITO OF THE 'PRINCE OF PATRIOTS'

The title of the book is literally beautiful. The content should prove even more so. This literary venture of the author Amlan Kusum Ghosh, whose documentary to the same effect titled 'Black Box of History' earlier created waves, needs wide reading to get to know about the whereabouts and doings of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose post his disappearance on 18 August, 1945. The author, a lifelong devotee of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda and an ardent follower of Netaji, has also made a seminal video series on the life incognito of Netaji post-disappearance called 'Sekal Ekal Mahakal' which has chronicled it serially. His latest venture, a cinematic one, 'Sannyasi Deshonayak' has drawn both effusive admiration from ardent followers of Netaji and brickbats from caustic critics who have gone to great lengths and stooped to new lows to undermine the success of the venture. But, intrepid adventurer of the spirit that he is, undeterred Amlan Kusum Ghosh has gone ahead and now composed his serialised newspaper articles on the post-life of Netaji in the form of this book 'Jnatajaner Ajnatabaas' which is to make its public appearance at the forthcoming Kolkata Book Fair. A must-read for many including myself, I heartily wish it a grand success and exhort all sincere devotees, followers and admirers of Netaji to purchase it and read it. Those that will will profit from it in no mean measure is my firm conviction based on what I have thus far gathered about the author's sincere involvement in the matter and his depth of knowledge about it. My congratulations on his energy and enterprise in bringing to the fore hitherto least known facts about Netaji in his days of solitary reaping as an Indian pilgrim. Vande Mataram! Jai Hind!
