India’s Biggest Cover-Up

India’s Biggest Cover-Up is an investigative insight into the Netaji mystery and its stranger than fiction subplots. Relying heavily on official records-bulk of them still security classified in violation of democratic norms-the book uncovers a systematic obstruction of justice by the Government of India. First for any book in India, the narrative has been augmented with the excerpts and images of still secret records. Archival matrial and information obtained under the Freedom of Information Acts of India, the US and the UK have also been made use of.

Anuj Dhar, who has spent more than a decade in trying to make sence of the vexed issue, takes you through a maze of intrigues involving some of the biggest names before outlining measures to incontestably resolve what has been one of the longest-running controversies of modern India. He asserts that it is the most explosive too.
