Anuj Dhar

Anuj Dhar is an Indian author and journalist. He is the founder trustee of the Delhi based national non-profit trust Mission Netaji which conducts research on the Indian freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

Career

Anuj Dhar was instrumental in earning valuable information from the Taiwan government that no plane crash involving Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose had happened in or around Taihoku airport on or around August 18, 1945. The Justice Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry which probed into the disappearance of Bose, corroborated this finding. But, the Indian government rejected the findings of the commission. Ever since, Dhar and Mission Netaji have been fighting to bring out the truth, utilising the Right to Information Act.

Dhar has also written a book on the Bose mystery, entitled Back from Dead: Inside the Subhas Bose Mystery. This book was later translated to Hindi, entitled Mrityu Se Vapsi: Netaji Ka Rahsya. He also wrote a book entitled CIA's Eye on South Asia, which is an analysis of declassified CIA records on India and its neighbours. In this book, Dhar narrates what he terms as India's biggest spy scandal. The scandal entails the story of a CIA mole who operated out of Indira Gandhi's Cabinet and how the mole wrecked India's plan to annihilate Pakistan in 1971. Dhar is now using the Right To Information act to access classified Indian government information on the spy scandal.
