After a warm welcome by the anchor, Moderator Mr Tushar Mulay gives a brief overview of the session and puts forth a few questions about Subhash Chandra Bose for Mr Kingshuk Nag to answer. Mr Kingshuk appreciates the overview and answers Mr Muleys questions by talking about how the files that document Subhash Chandra Bose’s death have been made public by the government and why the story doesn’t convince him. Mr Kingshuk goes on and talks about how right before the independence of India, the British were in a hurry to leave and so were the officers posted in the subcontinent, who hadn’t been home since the beginning of the Second World War. This led to an exodus of British officers from India and thus, a number of higher-ranking positions were taken up by Indians. That’s how one officer unearthed a number of files that opened the secrets of the Empire including the death of Subhash Chandra Bose. The discussion between Mr Kingshuk and Mr Tushar goes on in the same direction with a few more questions and after an interesting discussion, it comes to a close.
