Podcast ft. Anuj Dhar & Chandrachur Ghose
Join us in an impromptu conversation with Mr. Anuj Dhar & Mr. Chandrachur Ghose, on why the declassification of Netaji files is a relevant matter to be debated for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
The urgent and necessary step of declassifying and releasing all files related to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose is crucial for several compelling reasons. Firstly, it addresses the longstanding historical ambiguity surrounding his life and disappearance, offering the nation clarity and closure on a pivotal chapter in its history.
Secondly, it honors the legacy of one of India’s most iconic freedom fighters, ensuring that his contributions are acknowledged and celebrated.
Thirdly, the release of these files promotes transparency, fostering public trust in government actions and historical narratives. In essence, this policy is an imperative and timely measure to rectify historical gaps, pay homage to a national hero, and strengthen the foundations of transparency and accountability in governance.
