‘Black Box of History’
A feature length documentary film by Amlan Kusum Ghosh
The feature length documentary film (105 min) is an attempt to unravel the mystery of Netaji’s final disappearance that has dogged public mind ever since 1945. The work was originally provoked by the government of India’s rejection of Justice Mukherjee Commission’s well grounded findings that Netaji did not perish in the alleged air crash. The Commission had also established that no such crash ever took place in which Netaji allegedly died. The documentary has been in making for four years. The director has interviewed a string of scholars on the subject including Justice Manoj Mukherjee, Pradeep Bose, Dr. Purabi Roy, Dr. Madhusudan Pal etc
There have been a few documentaries, not to mention a cache of books and essays, on the subject. Where ‘Black Box of History’ differs from the rest is that it has tried to examine the theories surrounding Netaji’s existence post- August 18, 1945. The most striking one is the case of anonymous monk called Gumnami Baba or Bhagwanjee of Ayodhya-Faizabad. Although Justice Mukherjee did not ‘officially’ concede that Gumnani Baba was Netaji Subhas a plethora of evidences (in form of letters, personal items, photograph, newspaper clipping) bear it out that he could be none other than Netaji.
The documentary is divided into three parts which puts disappearance mystery in context of Netaji’s life and struggle. The concluding part of the documentary deals with the strange case of Gumnami Baba of Ayodhya Faizabad. It includes revealing interviews with local people close to the anonymous monk.

Declassification of files may prove that JAPAN AND BRITISH JOINTLY PLAYED A FOUL GAME WITH NETAJI; In WW-I, Japan was an ally of British. Before WW-II, Japan-US trade war and
political war started, this led to actual war between US and Japan. So British became an enemy to Japan by diplomatic manipulation as US - British alliance was there. After WW-II, Japan quickly revived their old connections with British. Japanese and British spies were enough linked before WW-II. JAPANESE SPIES AGREED TO ELIMINATE NETAJI. Motive was to appease the British and purchase security for Japan royal family. Thus, JAPAN HANDED OVER NETAJI TO BRITISH AND BRITISH EXECUTED HIM IN SECRETE. The false news of air crash was fabrication of Japan. In any controversial case, liar is to be suspected first.
Netaji plan to start second independence war with USSR help was known to Japan. There was enough scope for British and Japanese spies to develop a common minimum program against pro-communist agenda of Netaji. Why should Japanese imperialism agree to patronize emergence of independent India as a permanent communist ally? Is it not more logical to fulfill British condition and purchase favor? Why Japan royal family was not tried as a war criminal? What is the mystery behind this favor?
There is another point about gumnami baba. Who was he? Gumnami baba was a dummy created as a part of common minimum program of Japanese imperialism and British imperialism. In axis camp, creation of dummy by plastic surgery was a common practice. Hitler and Mussolini were having number of dummies. Japan sold Netaji-dummy to British. British deputed this dummy at faizabad of Uttar
Pradesh, with a purpose to create confusion that as if death or life Netaji is doubtful. The confusion prevented the nation to be doubtful about role of Japan or British. So gumnami baba of faizabad is a common creation of Japanese spies and British spies. Never had he told the truth. If he had told anything, that must be lie. In a controversial case, liar is to be suspected. So, JAPAN SOLD NETAJI TO BRITISH AND BRITISH EXECUTED HIM IN SECRET. Japan sold Netaji-dummy to British and British deputed him at faizabad of Uttar-Pradesh. JAPAN SURRENDERED TO US-UK SIDE ON 15TH AUGUST 1945. Netaji’s last flight was on 18th august 1945. A SURRENDERED JAPAN WAS NO LONGER AN ALLY OF AZAD HIND. They worked as per their new mentors, the British.
How do you know all this? Another conspiracy theory?
