নেতাজীর মূর্তি মাত্র প্রস্তরে খোদিত নয়, ভাবে হৃদয়ে গ্রথিত প্রতিটি দেশপ্রেমীর অন্তরে | তাই সহস্র অপচেষ্টা ব্যর্থ হবে তাঁকে মুছে ফেলার আমাদের মন থেকে | স্বাধীনতাপরবর্তীকালে কম প্রচেষ্টা তো হয়নি তা করার কিন্তু তা সফল হয়েছে কি ? 

গান্ধীজীর স্মৃতিরক্ষার পেছনে সরকারের কত প্রয়াস ! টাকার ওপর তাঁর প্রতিকৃতির ছাপ রয়েছে যা রোজ দেশবাসীকে মনে করিয়ে দেয় তাঁর কথা | তাঁর জন্মদিনে সারা দেশে ছুটি থাকে | সরকারি উদ্যোগে কত দেশে তাঁর মূর্তি তৈরি হয় | 

আম্বেদকর দিনে দিনে প্রাসঙ্গিক হয়ে উঠছেন তাঁর অনুগামী দলিত সম্প্রদায়ের ক্রমান্বয়ে সংখ্যাবৃদ্ধি ও সেই হেতু ভোটের শক্তিবৃদ্ধির ওপর | 

নেহেরুর ভাবমূর্তি খর্ব করার অভিপ্রায়ে প্যাটেলের প্রচারে মত্ত কেন্দ্রীয় সরকার | গুজরাতে কেন্দ্রীয় সরকারের উদ্যোগে তাঁর পাহাড়প্রমাণ মূর্তি নির্মাণ তো জনমানসে তাঁকে পুনঃপ্রতিষ্ঠা করার প্রথম পদক্ষেপ | 

নেতাজীর স্মৃতিরক্ষার নানা উদযোগও সরকার নিয়েছেন | সে তো ভারতীয় জনতা পার্টি কেন্দ্রে শাসনে আসার পর | কিন্তু ইন্দিরা গান্ধীর সরকার মাটির নীচে ভারতের ইতিহাসের যে ক্যাপসিউল রেখেছিল তাতে তো নেতাজীর নাম পর্যন্ত ছিল না | আজাদ হিন্দ ফৌজের সৈনিকদের প্রতি নেহেরু ও প্যাটেলের বৈমাত্রেয় নিষ্প্রেম ভাবের কথা কে না জানেন ? এক কথায় নেতাজী ও তাঁর অনুগামীদের প্রতি কংগ্রেস সরকারের সুদীর্ঘ ছয় দশকের অবহেলা, এমনকি বৈরিতাও মহাবীরকে মুছে ফেলতে পারেনি দেশবাসীর মন থেকে | তাই আজ যদি কেউ সে প্রচেষ্টা করেন তো তাঁর ইতিহাস থেকে শিক্ষা নেওয়া উচিত কি তাঁর কর্মের ফল হওয়ার সম্ভাবনা | 

নেহেরু তরবারিহস্তে নেতাজী ও তাঁর বাহিনীকে পূর্বসীমান্তে প্রতিহত করবেন বলেছিলেন | কমিউনিস্ট পার্টি বলেছিল নেতাজী জাপানের প্রধানমন্ত্রী হিদেকি তোজোর কুকুর | পণ্ডিচেরীর শ্রীমা তথা শ্রীঅরবিন্দ নেতাজীকে দেশদ্রোহী আখ্যা দিয়েছিলেন তিনি দেশকে স্বাধীন করার অভিপ্রায়ে অক্ষশক্তির সাথে হাত মিলিয়েছিলেন বলে | গান্ধীজী তো কত কটুক্তিই করেছেন সুভাষন্দ্রের প্রতি | তবু এত অনীহা, অবহেলা, তুচ্ছতাচ্ছিল্য, ইতিহাসবিকৃতি, অপমান, অবমাননা---এ সব অতিক্রম করে আজও ভারতবর্ষের জনমানসে আসমুদ্রহিমাচল নেতাজীই সর্বোচ্চ দেশপ্রেমীরূপে বরেণ্য রয়েছেন | দেশবাসীর মনে তাঁর সেই আসন পুনর্বার ইতিহাসবিকৃতির দ্বারা অথবা তাঁর নামে আকথা কুকথা বলে অথবা তাঁর মূর্তি ভাঙার মাধ্যমে টলানো যাবে না | এ প্রয়াস করছে ও করাচ্ছে দেশদ্রোহী কোনো অপশক্তি কিন্তু তা ব্যর্থ হবে | নেতাজী আছেন ও থাকবেন হিমালয়সম আসমুদ্রহিমাচল | 🕉 হিন্দু !

MESSAGES GALORE ... 143

MESSAGES GALORE ... 143

1. Marx wanted to liberate humanity from the shackles of capitalism by imposing a worse tyranny of the party on them. But the worst tyranny of all was the materialistic ideology he thrust on man which his followers have ever since adhered to and abided by like gospel truth despite the advances of knowledge pointing to its glaring deficiencies. Marxism which abhors religion, considering it opium for mankind, has itself in being rigidly doctrinaire become a Godless religion.

2. Swamiji wanted the 'Udbodhan' to become in due course a daily to be distributed free a hundred thousand copies in the streets of Kolkata. His wish can easily be fulfilled online today. But the Ramakrishna Mission thinks otherwise. Why not fulfil the founder's fervent wish if you are true followers of his? In it lies the good of Kolkata, Bengal, India and the world in sequential progression. Is anybody of significance listening?

3. Swamiji remains the undying inspiration for me. Is he not the same for you as well? Let us read him daily, read into his thoughts, reflect on them, let them run through our system and thereon let us translate them into life-giving action for humanity. In it lies salvation for the individual and the aggregate. 🕉 Hindu!

4. I am convinced that if a person reads Swamiji diligently for an unbroken stretch of twelve years, he will be a realised soul. Begin!

5. সাধুর পরিত্রাণ, দুষ্টের বিনাশ ও ধর্মসংস্থাপনের পুনঃপ্রয়োজন আজ | অবতারের আবির্ভাব আসন্ন |

6. বিধান রায়ের মৃত্যুর পর থেকে পশ্চিমবঙ্গের সর্বনাশ শুরু হয়েছে | আজও তা অব্যাহত | বর্তমান সরকারের দিকে তাকিয়ে আছি আমরা | পারবে কি এই অধোগতি রোধ করতে ?

7. Sattva is bliss. The sattva must be built up in the system to feel the pulsations of genuine spirituality.

To communists must be given the credit of defeating fascism. Soviet Russia almost singlehandedly and at an unimaginable cost of human lives halted the advance of Nazi Germany any further than it had done before it pushed Hitler's army back. This tilted the war in favour of the Allies and saved civilisation from the impending scourge of Nazi racial barbarism before the communists themselves cast all pretensions to civilisation aside and unleashed terror on their own proletariat population worldwide. 

History witnesses strange twists and turns as it traverses its course hopefully towards a more human destination. As of now, though, rampant capitalism is on the rise with all its concomitant evils, its silent blood-sucking of the masses, its evil imperialistic designs both in commerce and in politics with democracy and human rights and civilisational tall talk providing the perfect ruse for the unbridled exploitation of the weak and the dispossessed. The strong tyrannises the weak, capital and power---naked and noxious, rule with a ruthlessness that revolution aspires to overthrow one day but cannot in a world of radically altered reality. The tussle now is of civilisational supremacy with the Islamic forces at war with the West. The battle goes on.

COMMENTS GALORE ... 115

Sugata Bose @Chandan Bhattacharjee : What one through ignorance had beheld as Matter, now in the light of transcendental Self-experience stands transmuted as the Self itself, the Lord manifest from core to crust as variegated life and light, sentience and insentience rolled into an integrated whole of varying vibration, the symphony of the Soul in its rhythms and rhapsodies, its cascades and courses rendering the rough refined, the fractured whole, the gross glorious and Matter Spirit. Then the thirst for Matter, this trishnā, is quenched forever and Christ's assurance 'Get ye the Kingdom of Heaven and all other things shall be added unto thee' assumes a meaning altogether apart. The vision has changed and with it aspiration. The hunger for Matter, the ravenous appetite of the beast that masquerades as man and despoils brother man, the unquenchable thirst for more and more like fuel to fire added intensifying the flame of forest fertility ever with its gene-driven evolutionary imperatives are nullified forever as the Sun of Knowledge dawns on the human horizon rendering man unto God. And God is pure Spirit. He seeks not Matter, Himself having manifested His Self through Yoga as Matter. Verily, verily has the Rishi equated Matter with Brahman, for the twain have met at last in unitary perception of the essence of things. Now nomenclature hardly matters, call It what you will. The Shāstras call It 'Tat' (pronounced 'Tut'), meaning 'That'. You choose your count. Does it matter anymore? 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Aroup Chatterjee : Read Swami Vivekananda. It will be good for your soul and 'sanskriti'. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Kingshuk Paul : Where did you discover hatred cherished by me if at all hatred is something worth cherishing? I am all love for all irrespective of whether Swamiji or Swamiji's brother was socialist to a degree or communist by declaration and dedication. I am a Vedantist of universal affection, perceiving all as my Self in variegated description and display in multifarious, multitudinous Māyā. 🕉 Hindu!

P.S. Probably you meant 'harbour prejudice and hatred' when you wrote 'cherish prejudice and hatred' if I get you right. Even then I must say that I am prejudiced towards none nor do I harbour hatred towards any. Communists hate non-proletariats though and seek their utter annihilation with repeated instances in history validating their intent. Bhupendranath Datta's fraternal relation with Swamiji cannot alter it. Hence.

Sugata Bose @A Facebook friend : What do you mean? It seems you mistake others' writings to be inspired or copied from yours. Is it? Let it be made very clear that I am creative enough, original in my thinking sufficiently to not require to plagiarise from others as it seems at least that you have implied. Now that is not appreciated by me at all. You have insulted me in the past and I forgave you for that. Now you cast aspersions on me for plagiariaism. Now that is going a bit too far. Such hyper-estimation of your own abilities may to you be warranted but to imagine that I have stooped to such a lowly level as to cheat from you ideas or perspectives, as you put it, is a gross underestimation of my abilities as an original thinker and writer. I hope I have made myself quite clear. Henceforth, think twice before casting casual condemnation on others. My civility need not be misconstrued as inability to defend my position. You are young and talented. So did I feel happy about your gifts and expressed my admiration for them after reading a few of your posts to my literary delight. But it seems that you have entirely misunderstood me right from the beginning with my identity and now with my intent and keep on heaping insults on me. This sort of an allegation has never been made against me because I never borrow from others ideas while writing. I can only tell you that I feel deeply aggrieved, insulted, offended, call It what you will, and will not tolerate such offensive insinuation. 🕉 Hindu! 

P.S. This entire comment of mine was made out of a linguistic misapprehension on my part to this gentleman's ambiguous comment to a post of mine which actually was a bit cheeky on his part but not implying this plagiarism charge on me at all. My strong verbal response here was instigated by a disciple of mine for all her supposed 'wisdom' in interpretation of this ambiguous comment of the supposed offender. It was a faux pas in the end.

Sugata Bose @Tanmaya Pathak : Your own observations are pretty much coarse. The language you often use about cow urine flooding the system of certain individuals is testimony to that irrespective of the fact whether you are an avowed communist or not. You certainly are not civil in your social discourse which was more or less by implication, not on you though, the purport of the post. It seems you are sitting in judgement over others here which is not well received by those upon whom you pass your puerile observations as if with impunity. But now you have received a rejoinder and would be well advised to reform your ways in regard to this casual commenting on others' intent, inclinations and knowledge. Earlier you had caustically asked me as to how I could venture to write on the basis of flimsy knowledge on a subject, yourself assuming omniscience of sorts of course. Each time I ignored you but it seems it is time enough to make you aware that such irreverent remarks are not always well received as ought to become any gentleman of self-respect of sorts. If you are indecent in your use of language, as you have often been thus far, I need not complement you in a like kind in return but surely must make you aware of my annoyance at such misdemeanour on your part. Hope the message has been received well enough for it is loud and clear with no ambiguity whatsoever that could confuse conception except perhaps what minimum decency demands in due delivery. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Tanmaya Pathak : Your assumptions are puerile and bespeak of latent dictatorial tendencies. How do you suppose that I must be at your beck and call to respond in the manner you want me to? I write copiously for diligent observers to read from them my thoughts. If you fail to do so, the fault, dear Brutus, is in you and not in my refusal to respond to your arbitrary demands. 🕉 Hindu!

P.S. Your sickness and tiredness needs treatment from a physician and not a writer like me. Seek your remedy with the right source and health and vigour shall be yours.

Sugata Bose @Tanmaya Pathak : Are you in your senses that you arbitrarily level charges of ignorance and malicious half-truth telling on others? Your peculiar divergences from the purport of a post is amusing but highly unintellectual. Henceforth you deserve no response to your uncivil observations, utterly absurd charges and peculiar data-demands. Bless you! 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Biswajit Das : সে তো রেগে গিয়ে বলেন | তা নাহয় বোঝা গেল | কিন্তু জ্ঞানের অহমিকায় যিনি অপরকে মূর্খ আখ্যা দেন, তিনি তো অন্যায় আচরণ করেন | তাঁর অপরকে মূর্খ বলা তো নিজের মূর্খামিরই এক প্রকার পরিচয় দেওয়া |

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : Right. But even this use of the word 'right' will irritate the left apart from the fact that I thereby endorse your view. Their vocabulary associates this particular word 'right' with everything that is not right. They are but the 'left' and have rightly been left out of the political discourse in this country as elsewhere in their socialist-communist uniform, uniformly without exception, although like the mutating virus they continue to change colour and operational contour to subvert stable democracies everywhere, aligning with inimical forces while all the while clamouring for human rights and justice, elements of civic life they have ever violated with brutal efficiency in their run regimes across the world for near a century. Sufficient unto the day has been the evil thereof but deluded humanity as yet clings onto this corruption in the hope of utopian salvation here on earth at any cost, literally at any cost, despite displayed humanism and all its ilk in vaunted variegated liberalism, the foggy facade of falsity. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Abir (Meghnad Bose) : যখন ১০ বছর বয়েস (২০০৩), তখন আগ্রা দেখেছিলি | আজ (২০২৬) নাই-আগ্রা (Niagra Falls--New York view) দেখে নিলি | খুব ভাল, খুব ভাল |

2029 LOOMING LARGE BUT WHICH WAY?

2029 LOOMING LARGE BUT WHICH WAY?

Will it not be tough going for BJP in 2029 unless it radically shifts gear? Anti-incumbency may be massive, now held tightly under carpet. 2024 was a scare. 2029 could be decisive. Time for deep introspection, 'abolition' of sycophancy and narcissism, and adoption of quick rectification measures. Action, not talk, necessary, and genuine sympathy for citizens all, not hobnobbing with the prized and the privileged. Above all, the Prime Minister must learn to visit affected places promptly, afflicted people immediately, address grievances swiftly, and stop linguistic gimmicks and affectation in speech. These will enhance his image immensely. 

Decentralisation is also the call of the day. Young voters are not so easily wooed by the personality cult. So, such slogans as 'Modi hai toh mumkin hai' will not work with them. The BJP, despite protestations to the contrary that it is a highly decentralised democratic party unlike the family enterprise that the Congress is, has thus far been projected as the Modi Party, sort of a one-man show. This worked wonders in 2019 but almost ousted the gentleman from power in 2024 before post-poll alliances forged in the wake of the election shock salvaged for the party another term. But the lesson that history sought to teach and that ought to have been learnt was not learnt and the consequence may become evident in 2029. 

As yet three years remain for course-correction but who will bell the cat? Sycophants can't. Beneficiaries won't. Critics will not be heard, for like Caesar's was, the left year is deaf and Anthonys on the right will offer assurances that will on the ideas of March backfire. Decius Brutuses and Caius Cassiuses are ready to prompt the precipitation at the feet of Pompey's statue come 2029 and the build-up is on. Modi must take cognisance of these developments instead of happy-harbouring in his bubble. Horse-trading does not work wonders anymore when people are aggrieved, and no amount of media-hype in favour of the ruling dispensation can alter reality on the ground. Three years are as yet time enough but is anybody listening?

HAIL HINDUTVA!

HAIL HINDUTVA!

A strong Hindutva is the best defence for Hindus in a world in which they have been perpetually persecuted, history testifying to well over a millennium. The sad part is that Hindus are even today badly divided on account of intellectual confusion, a terrible lack of historical sense, cowardice in a great many and plain perfidy in precept and practice by leftists who are the self-declared enemies of anything that goes by as religious. And Hindus are preeminently a religious people, spiritual in exceptional individual cases. 

It is time to study our persecuted history in detail, understand the manifold causes of our historical enslavement and adopt measures to rectify and remould our lives along the lines laid down by the Rishis, ancient and modern. 

Hindus must adopt en masse Hindutva as their line of defence as the Sikhs under the great Guru Gobind Singhji did and reorganised themselves as a martial race capable of adequate self-defence and self-preservation without being invasively aggressive. So must Hindus. And not to forget that the Sikhs did so to protect the Hindus and Hinduism, three of their great Gurus in Arjan Devji, Tegh Bahadurji and Gobind Singhji having suffered martyrdom at the hands of Islamic forces in the process, the Mughals in this case being the carriers of such jihad. Sikhs are Hindus, never forget. Emulate their courage and religious conviction and arise in defence of the Hindus.

Hail Hindutva! 🕉 Hindu! Vande Mātaram!
