Netaji's researchers miffed at him being showed as a married man

I found this hilarious. A bunch of 'researchers' of Netaji have found purpose in life. They are pissed off with Shyam Benegal's movie on Netaji that depicts him as a married man! Ah! How can one show Netaji committing such sacrilege? Marriage! What's the bloody problem guys? You believe Netaji was not fit to be married? Or do you think that marriage would demean Netaji? Or, you don't want to believe that he married a foreign girl? What the hell is the problem?
Let's check some gems now:

"We have corroborative proof that Netaji's marriage to Shenkel is a concocted story," Jayanta Chowdhury, one of the researchers, told IANS. According to him, although Netaji's family members claim he got married to Shenkel in 1937, his application for a visa to China November 23, 1939, mentions his marital status as "single".
"Despite our appeals to refrain from controversial issues, Benegal went ahead with the portion depicting Netaji as a married person. The film was telecast on German television," he said. Link on HindustanTimes.com

Jayanta, dude, even my passport states I am single. I did not bother updating it. Given that Netaji was living a peril-ridden life, maybe he wasn't too keen to walk up to the Whiteman at the passport office? Did you think about that?
Corroborative proof? My ***! Give me something better brother.

"If the romantic scenes showing a married Netaji are not removed despite our requests to the Censor Board and the ministries, we would move the Calcutta High Court to stop the film's release," threatened Bhattacharjee, a lawyer.Link on HindustanTimes.com

And why? You can't digest Netaji being shown as a man? You know even if you are right, you can't be so bitter about the great institution of marriage. That may piss Mr.Hari 'the Hadron' off. Hari, ignore these Bong researchers. They will never see your wisdom (that marriage is a mandatory stage of life like childhood or puberty hee haa. Sorry the laughter just exploded off the sides of my mouth and my computer screen is smattered with spittle.).
I love these guys man. I do! I wish I had their sense of humour.
