NOT VERY SURPRISING AT THE FACTS OF PMO's REFUSAL/DIFFICULTY IN MAKING PUBLIC THE FILES. THE RULING PARTY NEITHER TODAY NOR AT THE TIME OF INDEPENDENCE WANTED TO GLORIFY NETAJI, AS THE ERSTWHILE CONG LEADERSHIP WAS STEADFAST TO BELITTLE AND UNDERMINE THE WORKS, ACHIEVEMENTS OF NETAJI. THEY WERE ESSENTIALLY JEALOUS OF HIM AND IN THE BACKDROP OF SUCH A STATURE OF NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM THEY WERE NOTHING MORE THAN COMPROMISING STOOGES OF COLONIALISTS.THE LEADERSHIP WAS SUCCESSFUL IN DENIGRATING NETAJI AND THE EVENT OF HIS DISAPPEARANCE WAS A MORE CONVENIENT PRETEXT TO PUSH THE ISSUE INTO THE BACKSEATS INTO OBLIVION. IT IS WORTH MENTIONING CONGRESS LEADERSHIP FOUND A NATURAL ALLY IN THE COMMUNISTS AT THAT TIME WHO BESMIRCHED NETAJI. WHILE SACRIFICE WAS MADE BY THOUSANDS OF FREEDOM FIGHTERS AT ONE END, THE BENEFIT OF THEIR TOIL AND SACRIFICE WAS HIJACKED BY SOME OTHERS WHO WERE SO PERSONABLE AND AFFABLE TO THE OUTGOING BRITISHERS. WAS NOT Mr.NEHRU THE MOST IMPATIENT AND DESPARATE MAN TO ASCEND THE SEAT OF POWER?NO MATTER AT WHAT COST-PARTITION, MILLIONS UPROOTED FROM THEIR HEARTH AND HOME,GREAT KILLING FIELDS . THE FALLOUT IS EVIDENT IN OUR SOCIAL, POLITICAL LIFE TODAY-ITS STINKING /ROTTING EVERYWHERE.

Every Indian deserves to know the truth. Whats the point hiding it?. We need to know what happened to Netaji.
