The Netaji Controversy [Jan 24, 2016 ]

Maxxramblings: My humble 2 cents about the ongoing controversy about the Netaji documents being made public and the even bigger controversy about his death in the plane crash.
Going by the news bytes it seems that the present government has done a super humongous task that of releasing the 33 files and the documents kind of suggest Nehru calling him a war criminal and the congress vehemently denying it and suggesting it is a fraudulent document and a "politically motivated" move to release it. I being a staunch Netaji follower am keen to know of the mysteries myself, but am not too happy about these half baked releases. Either release all there is to it or don't bloody release any of it.. these partial unveilings stink of a charade or deceit!

We are a mature nation and can deal with friendly countries being turned into villains by the release. And at the same time we need to know if Netaji was at the receiving end of any act of connivance..

I am also not too keen on the over the top attempt at involving the Netaji's family members into the release process as if they are some sort of authorities of the subject. For heavens sake, many of them are into active politics and some even belonging to parties being deemed as responsible for Netaji's miseries in some way, so I don't expect any clean unbiased views from them too. And the revelations could also hurt them as well. They would be more than willing to shield their political bosses and thus safeguard their own asses. More than encouraging this game of political one-upmanship, we should be asking the politicians, how about following the ideologies of Netaji, in turning this country into a honest, clean and forward minded place to stay instead...
