Be Aware the class caste hegemony of religious partition provokes Polarization as reforms pushed further!
Eminent writer Amitav Ghosh says, Government tacitly enabling attacks on writers! Pradnya Daya Pawar (Daughter of Daya Pawar) returns Award in Maharashtra!
I have already written: #Skip BEEF Gate! Skip Culture Shock!
I have already written: पुरस्कार लौटाने से कुछ भी नहीं बदलने वाला है, अगर आप लड़ाई के मैदान में नहीं है।
The intelligentsia is politically divided and lost credit as Every Part of India echoes the universal brotherhood, eternal Rabindra Sangeet, Nazrul Sangeet and Aesthetics of Social Realism practiced by Nabarun. Only Mandakranta is the Exception. None of Bengal celebrities look beyond Bengal Politics. They rather taunt those who speak tolerance, pluralism and diversity as they might not return awards because, and then they have to return awards from the WB Government!
I am afraid, the writers and artists protesting have to be excluded as the reactionary forces invoke most fierce and violent systematic campaign to justify the killing and the Nation is vertically divided in Hindutva and Islam. It is most disastrous as we fail to understand the game plan so naked and it is happening again and again! As we fail to represent the masses.
Politics of religion has nothing to do with faith and right to religion is also fundamental right. We must keep in mind because without joining the day to day struggle of the masses for simple sustenance we opt for shortcut. This shortcut rather helps the hegemony of ADHARMA to activate all the reactionary resources and forces to kill those who voice opposition and this opposition is branded anti-Hindu, anti-National, CIDITION.
Fascism knows better how to get strength from the masses, how to isolate the committed apolitical activism which is all about the activism in art, culture and literature. We have to go back to the people and speak their language and it needs the aesthetics of social realism I already discussed.
Be Aware. We have to change our linguistics to convince the masses that religious polarization kills the society, economy, and business, industry, the nation and the Nature, citizenship, sovereignty, civic and human rights.

Dear Palash,
The following people from Maharashtra have returned their government awards which were given to them for various things (literature, music, etc.)
Pradnya Daya Pawar (Daughter of Daya Pawar) pioneered it.
Yeshu Patil
Sambhaji Bhagat
Sanjiv Naik
Milind Malshe
(No confirmation about the last two.)
মন্ত্রহীণ,ব্রাত্য,জাতিহারা রবীন্দ্র,রবীন্দ্র সঙ্গীত!
We have to go back to roots as all the holy men and women in the past spoke love, which is the central theme of Tagore literature which is essentially the original Dalit literature in India!
Welcome Mr. Prime Minister to declassify the Netaji Documents as I already thanked Ms Mamata Banerjee for her initiative! We have no to rewrite the history!
I am not a singer. Sabitbabu, my life partner who being a teacher sacrificed my career and undergone open heart surgery in June, 1995 has opted for Rabinda sangeet as she crossed Fifty and this music sustains his life. She is not professional nor she is accurate, or she knows anything about Hindustani classical music, has made it her survival kit and she celebrates life because Tagore liberated woman in music.
Hence, every woman in either part of Bengal sings rabindra sangeet. If Pakistani women learn this music of love, our relations would be better. I hope! Sabita sang for me all the way.
I have discussed two films based on works by Tagore which have Liberated, empowered women in lead, CHARULATA and Choker Bali!
Bengalis have lost everything but they still root in Rabindranath and his music which unites East and West Bengal across the border even after seven decades past.
We have to go back to roots as all the holy men and women in the past spoke love, which is the central theme of Tagore literature which is essentially the original Dalit literature in India!
Because Adharma and Hatred rule our troubled times and we have to bleed in unprecedented violence, because systematic hatred and misinformation campaign is launched to justify to kill truth, peace, inherent pluralism and diversity, because Tagore is branded Anti National, we have to continue our travel in quest of truth.
Constituent assembly deciding the framework of Indian constitution had a vision aimed at the destination of Indian future as Democrat Republic India! As Dr. BR Ambedkar explained how divided we were in identities representing warring camps, the Unity and integrity had been topmost priorities. Gandhi, Ambedkar, Netaji and Tagore, all our national leaders were working for universal fraternity. Gandhian Hindutva is not the Hindutva of ethnic cleansing and economic reforms, we have to understand.
Last evening my brother Diilp Mandal called me from New Delhi. The journalist asked me whether any Dalit or Muslim writer had been awarded in Bengal. Yes, Binoy Majumdar was a prominent mainstream poet who had Sahitya Academy award and he was a Dalit. Mustafa Siraj got it. Then he asked whether Tagore wrote anything supporting Ambedkar!
Dr. Anand Teltumbde confirmed, not at all. They have no correspondence. Last evening we discussed on it. The meeting between Periyar and Ambedkar was messy and Periyar movement is different. Ambedkar never quoted Hari Chand or Guru Chand Thakur in Bengal, Aush in Tamilnadu or Ayyankali in Kerala. Obc communities never supported babasaheb and only exception is Baliki community! Ambedkar did not address the Adivasi cause. It is irrelevant.
Tagore fought against untouchability and he is the original Dalit poet and Dalit writer.it is not spiritual, but the human cause of peace, diversity, pluralism, equality and justice make the theme of his music which liberated woman as Jyotiba Phule, Savitri Phule, Vidyasagar and Hari Chand Guru Chand Thakur educated woman.
Blouse was introduced by Thakur family and the modern Indian subcontinent woman is all about the love in Rabindra sangeet and literature. We discuss scandal but we despise love beyond identity, status and border and we always have the gender bias. Tagore and Sharat Chandra were the exceptions.
I have address the questions relating renaissance in Europe as well India, Bhakti Andolan, romantic poetry and the citizenship, sovereignty, civic and human rights.
Religion and ritual, folk and culture root in agrarian production system that we killed for free flow of foreign capital and foreign interest. We remain unemployed and excluded from economy which is the base of religious polarization and the unprecedented violence, ADHARMA practiced on the name of Dharma and the hatred.
