Conundrum

Interested and informative book 📖

All you need to know about Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose at one place. Detailed researched and Evidence based book. No Conspiracy theories.

I absolutely loved to book, the content, the style of writing, the depth and the research!Man, Anuj Dhar delivers what's promised in his talks. Both the authors are on a mission and they definitely highlighted everything there is to understand about this issue. I would recommend anyone interested in understanding the struggle of the greatest Indian!Absolute gem of a book. Not even a chapter which went slow.

This book isn't a regular biography or journalistic take. It's a question that has been to the Republic of India, the largest democracy of the world. What it entails is something that can only be resolved with an honest internal dialougue, a journey one must commit to, alone.But beneath the obviously path breaking and painstaking research portrayed here, is a very heartbreaking human story. In our zeal to iconize our heros, we strip them of their mortality. Their choices made in their lived circumstances , when found in antithesis to your portrait, we find it very difficult accept. Why though? So while me revere them, we find it difficult to accept them, as they are....The ego of our own identity which we try to project via our choice of our hero, leads us to the path of cruel indifference to the man behind the icon. That was the most emotional and painful realization of this journey. Abandoned in ignominy and refused to be acknowledged....why because people found it "inconvenient " to patch it up with the painted portrait of Bose...the portrait crafted with lot of zeal and effort...for self service...not for The man himself....Perhaps that is the biggest tragedy of this legend of a man....everyone seeked his aura...very few seeked him.

Knowledge & Understanding

Absolutely overwhelmed by the true facts.Thanks a lot Anuj Dhar and Chandrachur Ghosh sir for their intensive hard work on the topic.

I had read the last two books of Anuj Dhar about 'what happened to Netaji' or the 'India's Biggest Coverup' and then 'Conundrum'. The initial books, Anuj Dhar narrated things on a story-telling type but Conundrum is more of literary saga of citations and referrals. Various events narrated in this book are what Gumnami Baba wrote or spoke to his disciples who also incidentally were connected with Netaji before his disappearance in 1945 (air crash theory was anyway bogus). The book written by Anuj Dhar and Chandrachur Ghose attempted to provide a glimpse of a man who 'unnamed' or 'dead man' (by his own accounts) traveled and worked with different countries of importance like Russia and China. The book explains how the war of 1962 with the Chinese that India lost and why Chinese suddenly withdrew from Indian soil. It also covered the Pakistani aggression of 1965 and how India lost a golden opportunity to gain Pakistani territories specially Sialkot and Lahore. Bhawangi wrote and narrated things in such details that it seems he was narrating stories first hand. What the authors did was linking bits and pieces of evidences to build a strong case which would likely settle the issue of Subhash Chandra Bose's disappearance post 1945 and his supposed emergence in India post 1952 in the form of a hermit who always seems to be shrouded in mystery. The book also dealt a chapter on Shaulmari Baba that caught the spot-light in the 60s to be Netaji. The authors painstakingly explored every factual details in the book and even identified the actual identity of the said Baba. I still have unread chapters which I hope will enlighten me of the way how the nation's most revered son worked towards making his 'Janani Janmabhoomi' safer from foreign hands even at the cost of his identity and breathed his last far away from public limelight. The book also vividly point out our intelligence reports and government hush ups in higher level and how Gumnami Baba perceives the then governments, particularly Nehru and Shastri for their role over governance post independence.The book is more than 850 pages and as such a thick one (the publisher could have made it in two volumes sold together). It is not a bedside storybook rather a serious case build-up from authors point of view. The book is for serious readers and truth-seekers of Netaji mystery. However, for those who does not want to invest hours and hours of studying details, there is a good news..It would soon to be made a movie named 'Gumnami' which would probably release by next January. There you can enjoy an abridged version of the great book. But if you are serious to know about the fate of Netaji post his so called 'death' in 1945, please do invest in reading the book at least once.

Outstanding book. Great research.

This book has been exceptionally written with collection of all facts, evidences and some mesmerizing details of the second half of Netaji’s life and its a real eye opener as to how far a country’s ruling party can go to tarnish the image of their opponents using full power of the system. Netaji has been shown as the ultimate patriot who sacrificed his last drop of blood in the struggle for our freedom but as our country became free, his name was buried and wiped off the history books. His staying alive for over 30 years in independent India, comes nothing less than a big shock to the countrymen who had been fed all the time with dirty rumors by the ruling party. This is a book which must be read by every Indian who feels very proud to call Netaji as our savior. Anuj Dhar and Chandrachud Ghosh deserve all the credit for this mammoth book full of so much information. We can only thank them from the bottom of our hearts.

This book is a result of extremely well-researched work by authors and they have provided reference materials/evidence throughout the book. So, any conclusions made by authors have been well supported by good reference material. There are many occasions where authors have not made any conclusion as they didn’t have enough evidence/material. Though this may be disappointing for readers as one would like to get answers for everything, however at the same time this also shows the credibility of work done by authors that their work is based on facts, not a concoction.

Thoroughly researched book giving an explosive account of India's top revolutionary Subhas Chandra Bose who got the British out and made India free but was never given the credit for it and forced to spend the rest of his days in hiding and poverty. Hats off to the authors for publishing this and taking the mask off the politicians and bureaucrats who are suppressing the truth even now. Please keep up the good work!

Top class material!Kudos to the authors for their immense hard work

amazing, this secret should be out in public...Its high time now.
