There is no justifiable reason why the Bucher Papers should be under wraps unless such disclosure is likely to harm certain pet narratives bandied about as 'the authentic version of the history of those times.'
LONDON: A battle to force the publication of all the personal diaries and letters of Lord and Lady Mountbatten that are in the Broadland Archive, which could shed light on the royal family, the relationship between Edwina Mountbatten and Jawaharlal Nehru, the fairness of drawing the Partition borders and the Mountbattens’ views of Gandhi, Nehru and Jinnah, has had some success as a huge tranche of their diaries was published this week for the first time.
Diaries up to 1960 were released digitally on Thursday, four days after an early day motion signed by 22 British MPs was tabled in the House of Commons on July 19 calling for their publication without further obfuscation and delay .
