Sreejith Panickar


Sreejith Panickar is a political analyst, television news debater and writer from Kerala, India. He is the founder-member of Mission Netaji, an Indian not-for-profit organisation that conducts research on the disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. In 2015, Panickar accessed the particulars of 36 of the 41 secret PMO files on Netaji, using RTI Act. These files related to information on Netaji's family, funeral of his wife Emilie Schenkl, Bharat Ratna controversy, disposal of INA properties, transfer of Netaji's alleged ashes to India, and the construction of a Netaji memorial in New Delhi. Indian government declassified these files in the following year.
Panickar's socio-political opinions and trolls often get featured as news stories of leading media houses. His debates on the citizenship amendment act gained wide popularity on Malayalam television and public platforms.
