India’s government claims Netaji died in 1945 — yet won’t release the documents, 60 years later. Anuj Dhar demands answers.
Dhar and Ghose chronicle how decades of Congress and Left-party rule created an intellectual ecosystem where official narratives couldn’t be questioned — even about the man the British had formally designated Enemy No. 1. Netaji raised two governments-in-exile, two armies across two continents, and his Indian National Army reached Imphal and Kohima, fighting what historians consider one of WWII’s greatest battles. Yet no body, no crash documentation, and sealed archives all point to a state cover-up. The Russia angle — that Netaji survived and was held in the Soviet Union — is presented not as conspiracy but as the logical conclusion of the evidence India’s own government refuses to make public.
