Rabindranath illuminated light like the sun
I am remembering Kobiguru Rabindranath Tagore with deep respect on his 163rd birth anniversary. Today, I want to share my thoughts about anti-Rabindranath sentiment during the Pakistan period as even after 53 years of Bangladesh's independence, anti-Rabindrasentiments still exist. So, the new generation needs to know the historical context of such ideology.
Speech of 7 March: Affirming Human Rights
On the evening of March 7, 1971, when I heard the extraordinary speech of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman sitting at the Racecourse Maidan (now Suhrawardy Udyan), I never imagined that I would be able to write a novel titled 'Shat e Marcher Bikel'. On that historic March 7th, our friend Namita Sannayal was with me.

What is the future of Bengali literature?
The prospect of any literature is embedded within its language. And the life of a language remains vibrant through literary discussions. However, for a language to achieve widespread recognition, it requires a strong economic flow and involvement in far-reaching political activities. Relevantly, the economic market for Bengali literature is relatively small, but the linguistic community of this language is vast. As a mother tongue, Bengali holds the fifth position in the world language rankings and is positioned seventh as a widely-used language. In the Indo-European linguistic community, more than 22 crore people speak Bengali. In this relatively small economic market, authors, publishers, and related collaborators may find it challenging to lead a comfortable lifestyle due to limited opportunities. This issue serves as another obstacle to the potential of Bengali literature. However, I do believe that our current and future generations will overcome this obstacle.
