November 13, 2024 संवाद # 217: Modi government also lying about Subhas Chandra Bose? | Anuj Dhar
Anuj Dhar is an Indian author, researcher, and activist known for his work in uncovering the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, one of India’s most iconic freedom fighters. Dhar, a former journalist, has devoted much of his career to investigating the enduring questions surrounding Bose's life and legacy, challenging official accounts with thorough research and evidence-based arguments. His best-selling book, India's Biggest Cover-Up, brought significant public attention to the theory that Bose did not die in the alleged 1945 plane crash but lived on under a different identity.
A co-founder of the Mission Netaji organization, Dhar has been instrumental in advocating for declassification of government files related to Bose and in pushing for transparency around India’s historical records. His work has led to a surge of public interest in Netaji’s story, and his insights have been discussed in mainstream media and debated at the highest levels of government. Dhar's commitment to unearthing forgotten chapters of Indian history has made him a notable figure among Indian historians, researchers, and patriots alike. His influence extends beyond his books, as he often delivers lectures, participates in discussions, and actively engages with a global audience through social media and public forums.
