POESY: DAWN IT IS
DAWN IT IS
Dawn it is and time to wake.
Dreams do fade for life to make.
Birds, they chirp as dawn doth break.
Streams in light and sloth doth shake.
Awake, awake, 'tis time to take
A snapshot free for the thirst to slake
Of captive eyes now afloat in the lake
That stretches beyond the dull dark fake.

MESSAGES GALORE ... 127
MESSAGES GALORE ... 127
1. Great souls are those that are grateful.
2. Fearlessly proceed. Charaiveti!
3. There is no end to karma till jnāna eliminates it.
4. Extricate yourself from the whirlpool of others' thoughts. Be free thinkers, creative to the core. Be original. Only then can you reach the Origin.
5. The life of one has the deeds of many.
6. Extricate the Avatār from organisation. God is without institutional appendage. Let devotion be devoid of organisational trappings.
7. Oneness is never achieved through effort. Oneness either is or is not.
8. Genius unfolds sometimes in constrained conditions, being ignited by circumstantial inhibitions and responding to the challenges thrown.
9. Dawn calls for the dewdrops. Dewdrops call for dawn.
10. The right call never comes at the right moment. Endless wait wanes expectation.
11. Character calls for serious response, subtle sensitivity, empathy that heals. Else, life is a dreary desert fit for cactuses, not men.
12. আজ ঠাকুরের জন্মতিথি | আমাদের নবজন্ম হ'ক |
13. Today is the birthday of Sri Ramakrishna as per the almanac. May we be reborn unto godliness and glory!
14. Booing that happens in the British Parliament is so unsavoury, quite unbecoming of a decent discourse.
15. Non-reaction is the ideal way to peace.
16. Let busyness not become a disease incurable.
17. It is best not to depend on anyone.
18. When the ego becomes wafer-thin, God comes and fulfils.
19. Ramakrishna was a scupltor of the soul.
20. Humility is one's greatest defence against aggression coming from unseemly quarters, non-reaction one's best armour against possible predation.
21. If there is a friend I know, it is this body that I have borne since birth. My constant companion it has been, is, will be 'till death do us part'.
22. When candles die, the wax reforms for a fresh ignition. Thus the cycle goes on ad infinitum.
23. I write, some read, some even give the ❤️ sign, some don't. But they are all welcome to the chamber of my thoughts, ideas, ideals, inspiration.
24. Life is of two days---the first of expansion without and the second of contraction within till the core consciousness is reached.
25. 'Thank you' to all who are supporting me ❤️ily.
26. Happy b'day to one whose sunrise it was today.
27. Value loved ones while they are there.
28. Through the dark of one fateful night Naren and Thakur sang 'Āmār Mā tvam he Tārā'. Naren's resistance to Kāli broke down. He surrendered to Her.
29. The sky assumes its colours, then darkens again.
30. You can never keep up with the flowing Ganga. You may dip in it sometimes.
31. I only wish I had a second me.
32. The busier the being, the more time he has at his dosposal till he totally conquers time.
33. Life is ceaseless, without beginning, without end.
34. If at times you find a full-stop left out, know it is deliberate to accomodate a bolder type.
35. When deeply hurt, stay calm. Do not react.
36. One must remember no one owes one anything. But one does owe everyone so much. It is with a deep disquiet that realisation comes till peace prevails.
37. Is man the master or the slave?
38. If sadness strikes, know happiness is at hand.
39. Sri Ramakrishna is the Ganga of spirituality. Take a dip in it and be pure.
40. Blessed be they who are truly devoted!
41. Devotion to Guru? Who has? The one who values him above work. For such a one illumination awaits, for none else till such devotion awakes.
42. Miserliness of ❤️ is not good. It creates misery.
43. Breadth of ❤️, width of mind, depth of soul---the holy trinity of attributes that takes one to the vision of one's Self, the Ātmā.
44. It is a sea of souls in perpetual procession.
45. Reject Nature to conquer it. She will yield.
46. Thakur disliked miserliness.
47. Busyness is another name for pursuit of desires.
48. For most ideas do not matter. Money matters. The gross grips the masses, the subtle eludes. And yet it is the subtle that fathers the gross. Culture is scarce in most. Thus civilisations rise, thus they in due course fall.
49. The busy can never love; the loving are never busy.
50. People are just too busy to hold communication.
51. When my hour runs out, hold me in memory fading.
52. How can the material man know the Spirit?
53. Do not expect anything from anybody. Just give.
54. Work, work, never-ending work! Is it work after all that keeps one busy or is it pure pursuit of pleasure that largely contributes?
55. The idle write. The busy do not read. God watches.
56. Life's harvest will be empty if seeds are not sown. Even the dark has its seeds sown in time immemorial whence the universal harvest is being reaped.
57. Without harbouring hatred keep a distance from those people who harm you.
58. শংকর চলে গেলেন | কত অজানারে জানিয়ে গেলেন জন অরণ্যে যোগ বিয়োগ গুণ ভাগে সীমাবদ্ধ না হয়ে | এপার বাংলা ওপার বাংলা উভয়ের সাহিত্য জগতে আজ আর এক যবনিকা পতন |
59. Read 'Kato Ajānāre' by Sankar. A classic!
60. The way to greatness is to focus on the essence of man and not on his foibles and failings.
61. I would request those who can read Bengali to read Sankar's great novels 'Kato Ajānāre', 'Chouronghee', 'Nibeditā Reasearch Laboratory' and the like.
62. Never be niggardly in your ways. Encourage talent wherever you find it. Nurturing talent creates culture which is the prime necessity of the times.
63. Keep clicking the ❤️ button at the base of the page to express your support. This is the 'Great Expectation' from those of you who as yet refrain.
64. Be a man. Be a woman. Stand on your own feet.
65. Make time for those that matter. Else, they'll disappear. Your neglect will cause their departure. Life is meant for meeting, not vanishing thus.
66. Study the works of our own great men and women.
67. The shortsighted suffer. The farsighted conquer.
68. It is hardly holy to offer one's spiritual preceptor the crumbs of ones's plate. His divinity deserves better. As you sow, so shall you reap.
69. Myself replicated ad infinitum is the universe.
70. The union of spirits is the union of selves.
71. Brāhmans still have that extraordinary depth of spirit, that penetrative vision, that recounting which journeys through time to bring back photographic memories of the past.
https://youtu.be/DBjPdhM4qXs?si=Blwm2XHTOR2V9rY6
72. Culture cannot come from visiting places. Culture comes from visiting within.
73. Your word of honour is your strength.
74. The generous prosper.
75. Isolation hurts. Man is by nature gregarious.
76. Have a long view of life. Do not rush in for quick results. That is the shortest path to longterm failure.
77. Constancy of aim and effort achieves the end.
78. Sweetness is the essence of life. Raso vai sah!
79. Sincerity is the foundation of worthwhile work.
80. Curiosity is the mother of knowledge.
81. Great ideas give birth to great deeds. Think.
82. Fill the mind with great thoughts by studying the lives of great people. That is the way to your own greatness.
83. Great minds rest while working hardest.
84. Life is precious. Time should not be wasted. Read.
85. Try and excel in studies. You'll be respected by all, one of the least of the dividends earned. Knowledge will nourish, illumine. Study.
86. Misers will never prosper despite being rich.
87. Can little hearts love?
88. If God were as miserly as these little hearts?
89. Sri Ramakrishna found miserliness distasteful.
90. How can the mean-minded have God-vision?
91. Be of large heart ❤️. Else, in vain has been life.
92. Busybodies will find God too busy to bless them.
93. Expand your heart ❤️.
94. You are your own friend. You are your own enemy.
95. Titular discipleship is no good. Be real ones.
96. Fortunate is the one who knows how to love. And, yet, how few do so! Most behave as if they are devoid of this vital attribute enough. They miss life.
97. Constancy, the criterion. Concentration with it.
98. Where there's life, there's hope. Where there's hope, there's life.
99. He who has loved the world, the world will weep for him.
100. The Hindu's fluid idea of God makes him the most spiritual. He can access God easily as he has made Him homely.
101. Tears convey what words do not.
102. The heart is the soul of the Self.
103. It is broadness of spirit that gains sympathy.
104. Try to deepen your personality. This is the road to resurrection of culture which has reached its nadir owing to shallowness of soul. Read.
105. You cannot raise the masses by lowering culture. Spread Sanskrit to raise Bhāratvarsha. This, though difficult but possible, must be the way.
106. The language of the heart all understand, not so the language of the head. ❤️
107. Through the heart conquer, not through force.
108.
একি ঠাকুর, এখানে কেন, মুদ্দাফরাশের মাঝে ?
আমি ত' এখানকারই |
109. If life be in shambles, hold on to Swamiji.
110. তপস্যা নেই, তাই অর্থলীপ্সা |
111. যাঁরা ছিলেন, তাঁরা আছেন, তাঁরা থাকবেন | মৃত্যু নেই অমৃতের |
112. Poetic words are pathways to freedom.
113. আজ যেটা আধুনিক, কাল সেটা ইতিহাস ; কালক্রমণে যদি বা ফিরে আসে |
114. Communication is the soul of writing. The reader's delight is the joy of the writer.
115. ভুলনা কখনও তুমি ব্রাহ্মণ তনয়া |
116. অপসংস্কৃতির সাথে আজ সংস্কৃতির যুদ্ধ চলেছে | সংস্কৃতিবান, সংস্কৃতিবতী সংখ্যালঘু, তাই সংস্স্কৃতি পর্যুদস্ত |
117. Culture is a delicate thing which is becoming difficult to conserve in an age of progressive degeneration owing to all-round demographic shift.
118. ব্রাহ্মণত্বের বিকাশে বাংলার পুনর্জাগরণ হবে | তার জন্য বিদ্যাবুদ্ধির বহুল চর্চা চাই | সদ্বুদ্ধির প্রকাশে সংস্কৃতির পুনঃপ্রকাশন নবরূপে অবসম্ভাবী |
119. হালকা হয়ো না, উড়ে যাবে |
120. হৃদয়ের কার্পণ্য অনাধ্যাত্মিক বৃত্তি | ❤️
121. Be not envious of others' achievements. Love ❤️.
122. When life becomes weary, wake with the sun.
123. The inability to communicate regularly is a definite sign of indifference. One does not neglect one's dear ones. Exceptions are there of course.
124. The dark background sharpens life's coloured contrast. Let life be not dark, though. May springtime freshen hues in everyone's life!
125. If life holds a truth, it is this that it is never-ending. You were never born nor will you ever die. Disengage from the body and stand free.
126. Infinity partitioned into space-time bits is Māyā bred in avidyā (ignorance). Māyā is that which is not, yet appears to be. Be illumined!
127. Have tremendous faith in yourself. Conquer fear.
128. Associate with the great and become great.
129. Manifest a big heart ❤️ and life will ease.
130. Royalty belongs to all. Why live like a slave?
131. Why pull the brāhman down? Raise yourself up.
132. Wish becomes will, will work, work fulfilment.
133. নিজের প্রতি বিশ্বাস না থাকলে চলে ? কে রক্ষা করবে বিপদে ? স্বাবলম্বী হও |
134. Combine the forces of good to combat evil. Cast aside pettiness of all sorts. If you yourself are mean, how can you lift others out of the pit? ❤️
135. Live like a queen and be not mean. Love ❤️ to live.
136. Bhakti cannot spring in the dry heart. Water it.
137. Daylight brightens sight but shortens it. Night reveals the depths of the cosmos. And beyond the twain the Self reveals Reality reflexive, free.
138. It is impossible to imagine non-existence.
139. Desires conjure dreams. Dreams kindle desires. Thus the fire springs. The cycle of life goes on.
140. Upon your effort rests your success.
141. The updates are a legion. If I can write them, can you not read them for they are all for you? And ❤️ them too for that inspires one to pen more.
142. All life I've intensely worked, never felt busy.
143. This busyness is basically business. Shun it.
144. How lonely does the artist feel till he finds his audience!
145. God laughs when people say they are busy.
146. Just for a copper coin or two! What a waste of life!
147. Gold and silver are worth more than life spent in chasing them. What a travesty of human life!
148. Career is the pathway of the soul.
149. Wasting youth chasing money? Call it career?
150. Be the master of work, not its slave as you are.
151. Ideas needn't be converted to hard cash. Ideas are wealth in themselves. Be full of golden ideas and yourselves become gold.
152. The material man running after the material monk. Result: buildings while the Paramahamsa strolls alone in the Panchavati awaiting a fresh return. And when he comes, he will resurrect his own teachings and prove that they are not outdated but are very much valid and more so in these days of drunkenness of desires, verily the very need of the times, the medicine for the madness of monk and man.
153. Many a mother has died giving life to the child. Maternity care has improved much, needs to far more. Children, study hard and become good doctors.
154. None but Swamiji inspires, none else, none else.
155. হালকা লোক, বকে বেশি | Pretentious culture, mediocrity masquerading as mastery! Self-publicity, disguised and brazen!
156. How selfish can people be? Despite repeated requests they will view but not react heartily ❤️ to the updates. It is like seeing a film free.
157. The mean can never realise God nor find peace.
158. The heart of the matter is that people lack in heart. That is why they suffer. Else, life is bliss. Rejoice in others' happiness for we are all one. ❤️
159. None that is niggardly can be spiritual.
160. The stagnant pool stinks. The broad river freshens in its very flow. Flow like the river and keep your fragrance free.
161. In the darkening night of deep despair, never lose hope. There's someone dear waiting for you with the tidings of a dewy dawn. Love ❤️ can never fail.
162. You may have forgotten Ramakrishna but Ramakrishna remembers you. Rest assured. This deep dark is She who remembers all.
163. Consciousness is the light of the soul.
164. Heart is all there is to a movement. Head strikes not a resonant chord. The heart does, pulls in the masses, moves them along the direction divine. Spirituality, humanity, happiness, love are all founded in the heart. The Lord Himself is seated there. Expand the heart and be blissful.
165. Where head fails, heart fulfils. Love is strength.
166. Dive into the Ganga of Thakur. Cling to the pillar of light snd strength that is your Guru. Both will save you from fear and foe.
167. In doing charity organisations reduce themselves to becoming greedy beggars. Better not do such charity with pompous spiritual proclamations.
168. বাংলা বানানের অন্ত্যেষ্টিক্রিয়া, আদ্যশ্রাদ্ধ সকলই সুসম্পন্ন হয়েছে | এখন পুনর্জন্ম ঘটেছে তার রকমারি পোশাকে, নব নব কলেবরে | তা বেশ, বেশ !
169. How precious life is! One can learn. One can love.
170. Perseverance pays.
171. Sincerely seek.
172. Hold hard onto your ideal with a deeply feeling heart. Let not the common currency of life distract you from your goal. Concentrate on the Divine.
173. Be as intense as the blue end of the spectrum.
174. Do not beggar a loving soul. It will recoil.
175. Distance does not distance. Dryness does.
176. The perennial life-principle pervades the perishable form. Seek ye that which is enduring amidst this collapsing cottage of cards.
177. Help each other bear the load of life. Love all.
178. Love is a power nonpareil, the cure for all ills.
179.
A fair bit of freedom,
A fair bit of space
To fly to ionian heights,
To bolt, to run the race.
180. Practise listening to Hindustani classical music.
181. যা দেবার আছে দাও | কি পেলে তা নিয়ে ভেবো না | এখন দেশ গড়ার সময় | ও সব স্বার্থচিন্তার সময় এখন নয় | ত্যাগী কি ও সব ভাবে ?
182. Be not slave to circumstance. Rule over it.
183. পরিস্থিতির দাস হয়ো না | পরিস্থিতির ওপর প্রভুত্ব কর |
184. বঞ্চিত করলে বঞ্চিত হবে | দেওয়ার মধ্যেই পাওয়া | তবে, হুঁশিয়ার !
185. চলার পথেই বাধা | নাকি বাধার পথেই চলা ?
186. Be strong. Nature spares not the weak.
187. The weak are miserable; the strong self-sufficient and happy. Be strong.
188. Sharp will your success in life be if prompt be your responses to its challenges. Speed of response to stimuli is the prime determining factor.

Sugata Bose@YouTube [BBC NEWS/Roland Hughes] : Amit Chaudhuri and Chandak Sengupta, you being Bengalis should lap up the opportunity to learn how to pronounce Satyajit Ray's surname properly from the Westerners in this show. It is Raaye and not Ray, and it is quite a shame that you should be mispronouncing thus. And Chandak, you are Satyajit Ray's biographer at that. Shame, both of you!
Sugata Bose@YouTube [Adnan Parvez] : I am surprised to see Satyajit Ray pronounce his surname as Ray instead of Raaye which it truly is, a fact made amply clear by Audrey Hepburn while announcing the Honorary Oscar Award for Lifetime Achievement for the master filmmaker months before his death. So, the popular mispronunciation of Satyajit's surname was partly on account of his own doing as well which under the then circumstances may have seemed alright but does sound odd today. At any rate I believe Satyajit Ray never mispronounced his father Sukumar Ray's surname thus but pronounced it right as Raaye.
Sugata Bose@Oneness is never achieved through effort over a period of time. It either is or is not. It is a spontaneous understanding of union that ever was from the very beginningless beginning and will continue till the endless end.
Sugata Bose@To see my messages going unobserved and, naturally, unresponsive to, is no longer distressing.
Sugata Bose@A goodly wait, a godly wait.
Sugata Bose@Jyoti Prasad Das : You have flattened opposition by this single discovery of the Deen, the birth of the flat earth.
Sugata Bose@Anuradha Bera : একেবারে ঠিক কথা বলেছেন | যে সকল রত্ন সব চলে যাচ্ছেন, তাঁদের জায়গা কেউই নিতে পারছেন না | এর থেকে বোঝা যায় যে সাংস্কৃতিক অবনমন ক্রমাগত হচ্ছে যার পরিণাম বড় ভাল নয় কারণ সংস্কৃতিই সভ্যতার ধারক ও বাহক | এই জন্য আমাদের নিজেদের সংস্কৃতিসম্পন্ন হতে হবে বেশী করে, অনুপ্রাণিত করতে হবে তাঁদের যাঁরা প্রতিভাধর | তাঁদের রচনার যথাযথ সমাদর করতে হবে | উপযুক্ত পরিবেশ তৈরি করতে হবে পরিবারে যথাসম্ভব যাতে সংস্কৃতির বিকাশ ক্ষেত্রবিশেষে ক্ষেত্রের অভাবে অঙ্কুরে না বিনষ্ট হয় | আসুন, সকলে মিলে শংকরের উপন্যাসগুলি আবার পড়ি, পড়ে আনন্দ পাই | আমরা তাঁর পাঠককুল যদি তাঁর বইগুলি আবার পড়ি, ত' আমাদের কর্তব্যটি অন্তত পালন করলাম, এইটিই সন্তুষ্টি | স্বামীজী আক্ষেপ করেছিলেন যে আমাদের দেশে একটি নেতা গত হলে তাঁর জায়গা নেওয়ার মত সমকক্ষ আর একটি নেতা পেতা অন্তত একটি প্রজন্ম অপেক্ষা করতে হয় কারণ দেশে সর্বসাধারণ শিক্ষিত নন | আজও সেই অবস্থা | শিক্ষার বহুল প্রসার হয়ে থাকলেও মান নেমেছে এবং সংস্কৃতির এমনই অধঃপতন ঘটেছে যে বড় বড় ব্যক্তিত্ব কোন' ক্ষেত্রেই আর বড় একটা জন্মাচ্ছেন না | তাই সাহিত্যিক শংকরের প্রয়াণ সত্যিই অপূরণীয় ক্ষতি হয়েই থাকবে, এই রকমই মনে হয় আমার | এখন তাই প্রাচীনকেই পুনঃগ্রহণে সমাজ, সভ্যতা ও সংস্কৃতির রক্ষা---এই মনে হয় |
Sugata Bose@YouTube [Debdatta Thakur ---Agantuk] : Dipankar De is too loud and theatric, utterly inharmonious with the rest of the cast. He remains one of those actors who become stars simply on the basis of looks and whatever else but certainly good acting skills. One wonders why Satyajit Ray could not or did not temper down his over-acting.
Sugata Bose@Ipsita Mukherjee : Grand news. Bless you! Bless you! Bless you! And bless the baby to be!
Sugata Bose@YouTube [Adda Station--Alokananda Roy (Kanchenjungha)] : Why does the interviewer interrupt the flow of the interviewee's recollection?
Sugata Bose@Sulekha Basu : You are a luminous soul and you write with complete creativity which is rather rare. Swamiji had said, "Our Master was so original and each one of us will have to be so or nothing." This creativity, this originality of thinking and expression thereof in beautifully worded phrases and passages your writings are replete with, makes you a worthy bearer of Swamiji's charge as generation after generation his followers in their individual and collective capacity carry forward the beacon for humanity in its onward evolution, the torch of civilisation illumining the path through the darkness of the cosmos. Read 'The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda' daily and the blaze of illumination will be on you. With a fervent aspiration and the seer's vision Swamiji had anticipated the appearance of great women in India who would combine the spiritual traditions of our beloved motherland and the social freedom of the West, the perfect synthesis of unsullied purity and executive independence, a la Gārgi, Maitreyee, Leelāvati, Ubhaybhārati who would usher in a new civilisation here in Punyabhūmi Bhārat whose ripples would spread to the remotest corners of the globe. When I behold in you the early dewdrops of this awakening dawn of India's freedom with its spherical cast reflecting a whole world of chromatic possibilities, I feel gratified that the sage's prophecies and promises have not been in vain. Carry on in your own way your self-culture and with it spread the fragrance around as dawn brightens to morn and then blazes to a brilliant noon. In that high noon of stellar becoming may you be fulfilled unto light and freedom! 🕉
Sugata Bose@YouTube [Meghdhut---Goutam Ghosh's documentary on Satyajit Ray] : After Audrey Hepburn, despite being a westerner, has pronounced it right as Rāyey, what is Aparnā Sen doing calling the maestro Ray (as in 'day') as he himself had during his lifetime unfortunately addressed himself to possibkt perpetuate the practice, dare I say?
Sugata Bose@Arijit Majumder : I hope you have not mistaken me to be Netaji's grand nephew Prof. Sugata Bose who is my namesake and who most people somehow confuse me with. I am of humbler descent, proud that I am though of my own ancestral lineage which ultimately is the common inheritance of man in his source, course and confluence of flow as we tend to the divine destination whence we have sprung. Thanks nonetheless for your valued appreciation which is fillip for my furtherance as an insignificant writer of sorts aspiring to make a mark on my readers with a view to striking sympathetic chords to awaken a common consciousness in combating the corruption of the times. 🕉
Sugata Bose@Bruce Hilliger : I am indebted to you, my senior in this quest for Truth the Ramakrishna way which is intensely individual as it is coordinated collective. 🕉
Sugata Bose@Khalid Umar : Hope so but I do not think it will be quite that easy an apostasy en masse, for culture has its consequential roots embedded deep in even a revolutionary society. It will take several more decades. Meanwhile, Islam will reinvent itself to once more coax unsuspecting Iranians into its progressively fanatical fold. It works like gravity along an inclined plane that dips progressively under its own weight till it becomes a perilous precipice persecuting people with its original precepts which are hardly principled enough to be called principles. But Islam will fail and eventually fall, for its doctrine is incompatible with modernity, and modernity is an irreversible entity that will either be adhered to or such ideologies as are patently regressive will be cast aside as so much waste material into the cosmic bin. 🕉
Sugata Bose@Reata Kal : Thoroughly read the Qur'an, the Hadees and the Sira. Then activism thus will be well grounded. Knowledge is power. Islam as Deen must be understood, its inspiration, intent, aims and objectives clearly comprehended. Alongside read Sita Ram Goel and Ram Swarup, K.S. Lal and Jadunath Sircar, relevant material that will help build foundational knowledge necessary to wage this ideological war. Your posts are pertinent and I am happy to have discovered them. May Swamiji bless you! 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose@Reata Kal : 'Joy Bangla' was coined to counter West Pakistan's Urdu thrust on East Pakistani Bengalees. But after independence and the creation of Bangladesh the slogan persisted to prevent the Pakistan-backers, the Razākārs, in Bangladesh from gaining the political upper hand. Mujib's half-hearted attempts to sort of secularise Bangladesh, primarily to keep his seat intact, not forgetting his fundamental Islamic stance as evident in the Great Calcutta Killing of 1946 followed by the Noākhāli Hindu genocide which spread throughout East Bengal forcing Partition ('ladke lenge Pakistan') and his post-liberation (1971) allowance of progressive Islamisation of Bangladesh must be critically scrutinised, especially his damning of Bangladeshi Hindus as 'Malāun' or the accursed infidel bereft of Allah's grace. That Mujib himself perished to the political forces in 1975 does not absolve him of his political perfidies following the dictates of the Divine Deen for which Akhanda Bhāratvarsha got diabolically dismembered with its endless genocidal implications for Hindus in Bangladesh and no less here in India during those dark days of Partition. What was true of Islamic persecution during East Pakistan days (1947--71) was true post 1971 and has been true till date under the guise of secular democracy and in an undisguised brazen way as well post the end of Sheikh Hasina's rule in 2024. 'Joy Bangla' has attracted liberal Bangladeshis in large numbers for long and does so even today but the number of such liberals have been a minuscule for long and are near non-existent today. Bangladesh is de facto an Islamic state and will become legally so like its 56 other sister states across the world before long as the exodus of Hindus and other minorities nears completion. Till then the facade of 'Joy Bangla' will continue with Islamic operations carrying on behind it till the facade is required no more. Mujib was the right-hand man of Husseyn Shaheed Sohrawardy, his accomplished accomplice in engineering Islamic murderous misdeeds against the Hindus. If this be their best illustration of tolerance, secularism and liberalism, what may be expected from the rest of Bangladesh who wield power either from the political platform or from the political pulpit. Islam after all, it must be remembered, is a political ideology in religious mask aimed at domination of the world. Period! 🕉 Hindu!
Sugata Bose@Reata Kal : Islamophobia is a clever ploy designed to silence criticism of Islam. At any rate fear of Islam is legitimate, given its violent agenda, ways and means. Hence, it is not a phobia which means the irrational and unwarranted fear of something. Islamophobia is, thus, a misnomer that serves the political agenda of the utopian red-green combine.
Sugata Bose@Sulekha Basu : Any creative interpretation is welcome, and you are always creative. Your way of putting it is certainly valid.
Sugata Bose@Ujjal Kumar Ghosh : Fight or flight to keep up the fight like Rash Behari Bose. Waging a war of ideas as well to defeat the foe ideologically and making his flimsy edifice sink into the sand.

After attempting lengthy rationalisation in a civil manner without success and with undue wastage of time and energy, I resorted to that unfortunate means of blocking two irritating observers whose paucity of understanding of the purport of my posts and responses to their comments thereof prompted them to launch personal attacks against me along typically deflected lines. Henceforth, I shall not tolerate such nonsensical remarks and shall resort to this quick recourse to carry on with my work of awakening public consciousness about contentious matters unimpeded.

POESY : আমি ও আকাশ
POESY :
আমি ও আকাশ
●●●●●●●●●●●●
ছোটবেলার সে আকাশ আর নেই |
আকাশ পালটে গেছে |
আমিও আর ছোটটি নেই,
বড় হয়েছি |
কেউ বলে বুড়ো হয়েছি |
আকাশও বড় হয়েছে,
বুড়ো হয়েনি |
তবু আমার 'আমি'
ও আকাশের 'আমি'
এক |
এক, অদ্বিতীয় |
সেইখানে মিল,
চিরযৌবন |
