6. Wounded and dying but unyielding, the deathless hero, Jatindranath Mukherjee, alias, Bagha Jatin.

10. নেতাজীকে ভুলেছেন তাঁরা বেশী যাঁরা দিবারাত্র সোচ্চার তাঁর সশব্দ সেনারূপে । তাঁর যথার্থ সৈনিক বীর, স্থির, ধীর, ভদ্র, সুভাষিত । তাঁরা অপরের নিন্দায় আত্মপ্রসাদ লাভ করেন না ।
11. নেতাজীর এক বিরাট সংখ্যক ভক্ত নেতাজীকে শ্রদ্ধা করার চেয়েও তাঁর তথাকথিত প্রতিপক্ষদের ঘৃণা করেন বেশী । এটি ব্যক্তিপূজার এক অতি দুঃখজনক পরিণতি ।
12. Rajendranath Lahiri, mastermind of the Dakshineshwar Bomb Case and the Kakori Train Robbery, who was hanged for his seditious activities along with Ramprasad Bismil, Ashfaqulla Khan and Thakur Roshan Singh.
13. The master of a myriad disguise, the revolutionary nonpareil, Rash Behari Bose, who plotted the downfall of the Raj like none else, before or after, but lies in the shadow of our utter unconcern even today. But the Japanese honoured him duly and in time. Shall we?

15. The great betrayal by Muhammad Ali Jinnah in partitioning the motherland.

21. How clean is the explanation of science and how convoluted and obscure that of religion ! The best brains are all scientific.

24. নেতাজীর নাম নিয়ে ধর্মান্ধতা ছড়ানো -- এ এক আজব নতুন প্রহসন । যুবক যুবতীরা, এ ফাঁদে পা দিও না ।
25. নেতাজীর ভক্ত কখনো সাম্প্রদায়িক মনোভাবাপন্ন হতে পারেন না এবং সাম্প্রদায়িক মনোভাবাপন্ন মানুষ কখনো নেতাজীর যথার্থ ভক্ত হতে পারেন না ।
26. Language is a liberator but we are trapped in language, too.
27. When will my 'readers' read my articles instead of just viewing them and marvelling at the skill of the photographers?

36. শুধুমাত্র স্বামী ব্রহ্মানন্দ বিষয়ক লেখা অথবা ভিডিও উপস্থাপন করবেন এই পৃষ্ঠাটিতে অনুগ্রহ করে । অন্য কিছু গৃহীত হবে না ।

53. @ Shaswat Jain : What a glorious day for you and for so many of your friends, and how beautifully you spoke, from the heart, sincere, free of ego and unaffected ! Your sincere simplicity has made you inspirational for others of your age.
54. Churchill was a criminal who was raised by the evolutionary forces to counter other criminals, all of the barbaric sort of scant civilisation beyond technological attainments and proficiency of the intellect that is devoid of the heart that accounts for a modicum of humanity.
55. All religions, if they stick to humanistic principles and do not proselytise, are wonderful.
56. If Churchill and Stalin both used the principle 'my enemy's enemy is my friend' and are hailed for it, why then must Netaji be perennially blamed for doing the same?
57. People speak against religion but a Godless world is worse. It is the haunt of the Devil.

72. Cheat not, be not cheated. This is the gospel I give unto thee. Above all, serve and sacrifice for the nation. That is patriotism.
