Mission Netaji, which campaigns for the declassification of documents concerning Bose.[12]

Claims

Dhar has claimed that Bose had lived in the

Mukherjee Commission which rejected any linkage between the two, in light of a DNA profiling test.[15] The Commission rejected the plane crash theory and stated that Netaji ‘did not die in the plane crash as alleged’ and that ‘the ashes in the Japanese temple are not of Netaji’.[16][17][18][19] However Indian Government did not accept the findings of the commission.[20]

He also believes that Bose escaped to Russia (then, Soviet Union) after the crash and has accused successive Congress governments of being a part of broader conspiracy to keep Netaji dead.[14] The Mukherjee commission did not locate any relevant material in the KGB archives.[21]

Taipei Domestic Airport). These records played a major role in the final assertion of Mukherjee Commission about the implausibility of Bose dying from an air crash.[22][23] Historian Sugata Bose has rejected the analysis in light of the fact that the region and the airport was under Japanese occupation until 1946 and it was around 1949 when the Taiwaniese government finally consolidated itself.[15]

In the book No Secrets, Dhar states that, according to a newspaper article published by Bose's elder brother Sarat Chandra Bose in The Nation, Bose was in China in October 1949.[24]

Dhar's 2008 book, CIA's Eye on South Asia, compiled declassified Central Intelligence Agency records on India and its neighbours.[25]

Criticism

Netaji biographer Leaonard A. Gordon also penned a critical note on Dhar in a postscript of his book Brothers Against the Raj. There Gordon alleged that Dhar misuses the Subhas Chandra Bose death mystery issue for contemporary Indian political purposes.[26]

In 2018, Dhar shared a fake photo of Subhas Chandra Bose reading news about his own death.[27]
