15 years of relentless research by authors Chandrachur Ghose and Anuj Dhar has culminated in the launch of their book 'Conundrum: Subhas Bose's life after death' at Starmark, Kolkata. The event was graced by the presence of actor Prosenjit Chatterjee and Bengali film director Srijit Mukherji.
For the past 15 years, Ghose and Dhar have meticulously followed every lead on the mysterious disappearance of Subhas Chandra Bose, ultimately uncovering the catastrophic truth about the fate of the man who freed India. The conclusion reached in 'Conundrum' is that Gumnami baba was indeed Netaji, backed by stronger evidence - eyewitness accounts, documents, and forensics - than the air crash theory proposed by the Government of India.
In his letters and private conversations with former Bengal revolutionaries, Gumnami Baba discussed various aspects of his past life as Subhas Bose. He spoke of his time in Soviet Russia and claimed to have been slowly poisoned there, with his wife in Germany informed of his demise. Baba also blamed Nehru for his ordeal, stating that he had sent messages to Nehru thrice, requesting to return, but received no response.
The finding that Gumnami Baba was Netaji is supported by a report from leading American handwriting expert Curt Baggett, who found significant similarities between Netaji's and Gumnami Baba's handwriting, concluding they were the same person. This debunks the negative opinion given by government forensic experts before the Manoj Mukherjee Commission, where the judge was inadvertently caught on tape admitting he was 100% sure Gumnami Baba was Netaji, but could not prove it.
'Conundrum' also demonstrates that the DNA tests performed in government labs are unreliable. The book sheds light on the reasons why no government is willing to reveal the truth about Netaji's fate.
The upcoming movie 'Gumnaami' by award-winning director Srijit Mukherji is based on the findings presented in 'Conundrum'. This book, along with Anuj Dhar's 'India's Biggest Cover-up', has triggered a movement seeking the declassification of Netaji files and inspired the hit web series 'Bose: Dead/Alive'.
The narrative in these works is augmented with excerpts and images of still-classified official records, as well as information obtained through freedom of information acts in India, the US, and the UK. They aim to uncover the systematic obstruction of justice by the Government of India in the Netaji mystery and its stranger-than-fiction subplots.
