Ashok Tandon, journalist of the hindi publication naye log investigated the truth about the gumnami baba of faizabad and the belief that he was netaji subhas bose in exile. This book is about his expirience, the events which happened immediately after the babas death in faizabad and the role of the vernacular press. Translated in bangla by saikat neogi.
This is another fascinating read to the gumnami baba angle of the netaji subhas bose mystery. The independent and fierce reporting of the vernacular press at that time and the zeal to know the truth is outstanding from the local press at that period. I wonder why did never ever grabbed the attention of the entire national media at that time. Lets hope that the biggest political mystery of modern india is settled as soon as posible.
