Recently an article has been published in New York Times Magazine by the title ” I know what it takes to defeat Narendra Modi” . The writer of this article is Mahua Moitra , an Indian MP from West Bengal Krishnanagar Constituency. The content of the article is about the West Bengal election results in which Bharatiya Janata Party has been defeated by Mamata Banerjee and her party, TMC. Though individually she failed to win in the battle in Nandigram, Mednipur against bhumiputra(locale Son) Subhendu Adhikari who is now main opposition leader in West Bengal legislative councils. TMC achieved massive majority of 212 seats out of 292 ( 2 seats in Murshidabad were not in the game because of sudden death of two contestants due to pandemic Covid.)
However, TMC formed a government. Various ministries had been distributed to the veteran leaders of her party though a lot of them are under CBI investigation of Sarada Narada and Rose Valley money laundering case , some are convicted in corruption. Besides, Some new faces were given ministry due to their repeated success in the election and efficiency in party activities . And all the Ministers took oath accordingly in a very tiny program through Hon’ble Governor, Dhankar. By his addressing, Governor emphasised to take bold steps on the issue of present disastrous pandemic situations and post-election vandalism and bloody games between two parties. Mainly they are goons of the ruling party. They are manhandling and making violence everyday to the BJP supporters during night. Even some women were maltreated and also molested by the goons. Somewhere it is controlled by the administration, somewhere not.
So being a representative of the citizens Mahua should look after this situation not criticising Prime Minister. MP, Mahua Maitra is an educated woman and bagged her financial management degree from foreign University and there she served in a big financial company as an administrator . So we expect from Mahua about serious journalism where she remarks about Hon’ble Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s dignity. She has compared the West Bengal legislative election – battle in between Prime Minister and Mamata Banerjee.
It’s a crucial time for the country as 2nd wave of Corona Virus spreading stupendously. About 4 lakhs peoples are affected. There is neither adequate corona hospitals, beds, oxigens and others amenities, nor sufficient Doctors and paramedics. Besides, vaccines are inadequate as per consumers. Hence, both the Central and state governments and their hands( MP, MLA, Others representatives should come forward to fight against Pandemic. It’s not the time to criticised each other. A responsible public representative who is elected by the people ought to take responsibility on his or her shoulder in this horrifying situation. They are enjoying various opportunities from air travel fair to data recharge bills and an enormous flats or salary which are provided through public money.
Therefore, we can expect from them in return some sympathy as well as public works. We, the common people day after day waiting in the big line in the hospital compound for vaccination. But we are not given due to shortage of it. There is no discipline in distributing the vaccines. They should present there to manage all these haphazard activities. 49 per cent votes you have achieved in the election and won, but other 39 per cent of BJP voters need comforts too. You should go there to neutralize and compensate for the mis- deed made by your party goons where the 39 per cent of voters not protected. They are also citizens of Bengal.
Not thinking or not being worried about defeating Modiji or his party, a real leader should stand by the people who are in distress, covid – affected people, politically – victim or affected people. It’s not the time to enjoy defeating Modiji, it is time for defeating Corona. Sadly, Mohua is not worried about it. She should help the distressed. She wrote ” It took a catastrophic pandemic for even Mr. Modi’s supporters to see they need oxygen cylinder more than they need a Hindu state”. MP Madam is not aware of the situation in her state where Hindus are not safe, where ruling party leaders are wanting to make four Pakistan here in India. Why are you silent then? Should you not take steps in your partyline calling this party leader of Birbhum and inquired about why he spoke such anti – India speech! But none of them came forward to protest against it.
Not only MP Mohua, but even Bengal intellectuals are not interested to discuss it. They are afraid of saying anything in regards to this topic. Hindus must not be religion-addicted, though Muslims can do anything – it is their opinions. Here in Bengal, Mamata Banerjee got the victory by doing appeasement of minorities. Is it not polarisation to them? Mohua Moitra should be critical of herself than of Prime Minister.
She wrote: Prime is not serious in the battle against the pandemic. He is futile to manage this pandemic situations. He is not supplying vaccines, oxygen cylinders, and so on. Even her commander-in -chief, Mamata Didi is always asking for the same demands to Prime Minister. But it’s true that India is a vast populated country. Initially peoples were reluctant to have it. Some 45 thousands doses of vaccines has gone ineffective and lost. Sufficient production is highly needed. Central Government and the companies are trying to raise productions. Hope within few months this vaccine crisis will be subsided. So in this rigorous pandemic situation, both the Central and state governments should come together to fight against this battle. It’s not time to debate ‘ours’ and ‘yours’.
Mohua repeatedly wrote about how the Bengal elections 2021 have demonstrated BJP is not invincible. Madam Moitra, you know perhaps economics and finance, but not literate in political history. Nothing invincible in any field, even not in politics. BJP lost many seats marginally. At least 40 to 50 seats they didn’t bag due to 500 to 1000/ 2000 votes. So 50 – 50 chances to win for both parties. Mamata Banerjee has played minority cards with the aid of her royal soldier, Firhad Hakim. Is it not appeasement? Hence, Mohua and her regiment should be critical about it. No party is invincible. Once the Left government practised the same strategy, their attitudes and egos grew like this ruling party, but failed to achieve power. They were not invincible. The left is now under grave.
So, should take lessons from the history. Mind that TMC is not invincible. Your leader, Kunal, a corrupted person, went to jail, today speaking in media with rude language to Governor, Dhankar as a Dalal’ ( broker). What a shame! We know he is only 12 pass man having no culture and etiquette. Don’t know how to talk with veteran and honourable man like Governor. But this kind of TMC leaders one day might cause of ruins. Be cautious!
Mohua further expressed her views on Bengali culture. She complained against the Prime Minister about his addressing to Mamata as “Didi O Didi” during his campaign in West Bengal. In her words ” the tone and phrase were ominously close to what a neighbourhood catcaller may call out to girls walking past”. ” Didi” is Bengali word for calling sister. He used this addresses, not as a catcalling. Perhaps there was a wit or humour in this calling. But remember please, the addressing to Prime Minister and Other Minister as “Bahiragata”, Rakkhas, Dakat, Vorgi, Danab and so on like this was not proper as per Bengali cultures. Besides , numerous girls and women of Bengal are outraged by the neighbourhood goons . They are also Bengal’s sisters. Let’s Stand beside them.
Violence is not Bengali culture. Post-election violence which is going on here should not be indulged. Out of 39 per cent of voters probably might come to you, if they get respect. So don’t feel hostility toward these opposition voters. They are also Narayan. Might they vote in favour of you in the coming election.
It’s in broad daylight that most of your colleagues are corrupted. So It is very needed of sanctification of your leaders . During the last 10 years of rulings, your party members and leaders managed plenty of Bank Balance. Most of the leaders are crorepatis. They are very solvent and accustomed to spending luxurious lifestyles having 3/4 modern cars like Scorpio. One Minister, Sujit Ghosh, only 8 class passed whose bank balance is 17 cores. We know not how they managed it. Firhad Hakim is another person. He declared his Bank balance which is near to Sujit. I am not saying that other party’s leaders are honest. But they’re not in the ruling party. So Madam, please look into these flaws of your brigade.
Our Bengal is an underdeveloped state. We are lagging in Industry, even neither we have small industries nor startups. Unemployment is a mammoth issue. Now we’re in the tremendous situation due to Covid 2nd waves.
So Madam, Don’t malign the fact. It is time to serve, not of politics. Helping distressed in crisis is to serve God. So keep it up.
The great poet of India, Rabindranath Tagore in one of his poem, ” Janmokatha”( the story of birth ) longs to know about his birth story. As a child he asked his mother as to where he came and his mother answered the question of the child. Like the poet, we also eager to know how and where he borns in. Here, on his birthday anniversary we have to look back in his birth place where he was upbringing, playing with friends and brothers, and others activities.
Debendranath Tagore had fifteen siblings. Rabindranath was fourteenth out of fifteen. His birthplace is in Joresanko. His grandfather, Dwarakanath was an eminent businessman. Nilmoni Thakur established here at first being separated with his brother. Dwaraknath built a mansion just beside this house. His wife was a follower of Vaisnabism and worshipped Lord Krishna. So she did not like foreign culture. Naturally, Dwarakanath built this mansion where he arranged modern furnitures. English officials and their families used to attend there parties. Drinks and others precious menus were arranged for their dinner. Here children and women of the house were not allowed to participate.
No, I won’t discuss only about poet’s grandfather. We shall try to depict here the story of his forefathers and their whereabouts. Jagannath Kusari was the forefather of Rabindranath who married to daughter of Shukdev Raychoudhury. He was a Pirali Brahmin. Jagannath lived in the village of his father -in -law at Dakkhindihi ( Khulna, Bangladesh). As he married in Pirali family, he lived as an outcaste. It’s the era of the Turkish and Pathan rulers. People who came close contact with the rulers they were treated as an outcaste. Raychoudhury family had to bear such stigma.
Some generations after Jagannath, a dispute raised between Panchanan and his uncle’s family and they left the village by boat and reached in Kolkata( then Calcutta). It was British period. So there were no problem with the livelihood. English businessmen started Internationally export and import businesses.
Then Kolkata was a shopping centre. Village Gabindapur and two other villages turned into Kolkata. Kushari family settled in Gobindapur. There dwelled untouchable Hindus – depressed class among the Hindus. Most of the households were very poor. Not a single Brahmin family lived there. So the neighbours became delighted having them.
They were outcaste in Khulna, and here they were regarded as priests, even the honour of being Brahmin. At that time common people honoured Brahmins as God. They called them “Thakur Mashai” ( priest).
Panchanan extended his earning through the service in the Ship company. The English merchants, and others workers called him Thakur. But they couldn’t pronounce Thakur. They pronounced “Tagore”. From then they were called to Tagore as their title. The title Kushari ultimately had changed to Tagore or Thakur. They started writing Thakur or Tagore henceforth.
Panchanan had a son. Joiram was his name. He was also a businessman and became wealthy and affluent. He was an Amin or surveyor of British Company. He had four sons. Amongst them, Nilmoni and Darpanarayan were the ancestors of Rabindranath. Nilmoni lived in Jorasanko and Darpanarayan settled at Pathuriaghata in old Calcutta.
Neelmani engaged in a service in revenue department of Odisha Collectory in 1765. At that time East India Company got Dewani in Bengal. As a result, Neelmani managed a lot of wealth.
Darpanarayan was not also a idle man. He too earned massively. Both the brothers purchased a land in Pathuriaghata and built a mansion.
Money begets money. This saying of sages took place in the family. Their relations were strained. Ultimately, they’re separated. Neelmani handed over the mansion of Pathuriaghata and purchased a land in the east side of Chitpur near Jorasanko and constructed another building. That time it was Mechobazar by name. Later, its name had been changed to Jorasanko.
Tagore’s grandfather, Dwarakanath was born in this family. From 1794 to 1846 – only 52 years span of his life Dwarakanath gained a massive properties and wealth. Since his lifelime, Tagore family not only enriched with massive amounts of money and lands, they achieved also honour and respect. Dwaraknath was an eminent businessman of then Calcutta. He also started shipping business. He was highly educated, distinguished intellectual of this time. Both natives and Englishman used to respect him.
Dwaraknath Tagore was a dedicated his life in the upliftment of the Calcutta city and it’s citizens. For this purpose he had donated and endorsed a lot of his earnings. He travelled foreign countries. The royal families of the Western world respected him with high esteem. And he was conferred by the title of the Prince Dwaraknath. He had also donated there.
The Morning Star of India, Raja Rammohan Ray was his best friend. He did neither give up Indian cultures, not the practice of Hinduism, but in need he used to practice English fashion. Although he never put on foreign dresses.
Rabindranath is a great Bengali poet and writer. He was born on 9 May ( 25 Baishakh ). So we can celebrate his birthday by remembering his talents in many fields of our life . We know all about his success in enriching our Indian literature. But we know not about his success in alternative medicine practitioner. Perhaps my readers will be surprised to know about his popularity in this field. So keep patience right now and read this article.
RABINDRANATH AS AN ALT. MED. PRACTITIONER IN PARASYA :
The Poet went to Parasya. He was conferred ” Doctorate” there. The local people thought that he is a Doctor and came to meet him for diagnosis. Gradually Tagore had to face a lot of patients. He was an expert in alternative medicine, mainly Homoeopathy and Biochemic. Eventually, Tagore diagnosed them and gave them Homoeopathic medicines which he had always kept in a little box.
Homoeopathy vs Bio chemicalsalts.
Rabindranath in his writing Table, used to decorate with some books both Susler and Handyman or other writer’s books and Homeo – box. For anyone who came to him and asked for medicine, Tagore seriously heard all the symptoms and gave them medicine. During his early years, he used to practice Homoeopathy which is a science and also philosophy, but later he practised Bio- Chemic as it is pure science. Like an expert Doctor, he had diagnosed many patients and they became free from the disease.
Rabindranath didn’t go to any medical school. He had not been awarded any certification of medical science. Like other conventional education, he had been enriched with self-studies. He was not alone to be a self- help and self – educated Doctor, he influenced others to be educated in this subject. In his time, modern medical science did not reach here. Now we’re getting this privileges near to door, but in the nineteenth century, people didn’t avail of it. That was the era of Indian medicine like Ayurved. Some used Homeo and Bio – chemic medicine.
HIS STUDENTS IN THIS ALTERNATIVE MEDICAL SCIENCE:
Khitimohan Sen Shastri, one of his bosom friend, learnt Homoeopathic treatment from Rabindranath. Togore told him as a ” born- vaidya”. Khitimohan was an ayurvedic Doctor, but being influenced by the poet, he used to practice homeopathy in Shantiniketan. Kanailal Choudhury and Dr. Sushil Kumar Bhanja also started practicing in Homoeopathy. Tagore called Sushil as “my Doctor”.
As a teacher, Tagore meticulously taught his medical students the ins and outs of Homoeopathy treatment – how to diagnose and prescribe medication according to symptoms.Even he taught them about the duties and responsibilities of a Doctor. As a Homeopath, Sushil Babu became famous at Bolpur. Tagore advised to Sushil Babu ‘ if you want to be a good Doctor, you have to study medical books and journals at least two hours after lunch.
Advice of the Poet to Teacher:
Tagore was very serious to establish a disease-free society. He never felt well when he learned the news of disease-affected people. He rushed to them, diagnosed and gave them medicines until their recovery.
He directed the teaching staff of Shantiniketan to keep medical kits with them when teachers used to come and salute Gurudev Rabindranath. First of all, Teachers should be aware of the student’s health. They should asked to the students whether they’re ( students) physically well or not. If it’s found any student unwell, then teachers would diagnose and provide medicine to them. After that they would go to take classes. Even if anybody comes from outside for getting help for treatment, at first teacher looks after the patient, helping treatment, then the teacher would take the classes.
ALLOPATHY – HOMEOPATHY & THE POET:
The poet’s thought about this two systems of medicines we came to know from his statements and his activities. He emphasised Homoeopathy more than Allopathy. He sent his son – in -law Satendranath to America for learning Homoeopathy. Although Satendranath passed MB ( Allopathy), he was sent to learn Homoeopathic treatment.
The poet had a profound knowledge of modern physiology. We came to know this information from the former Doctor of Viswabharati Dr Shachin Mukhopaddhay. Rabindranath. However, the poet used Bio – Chemic salt mostly in treatment.
He believed that Homeopathy might kill a person, but Allopathy kills a person both physically and economically.
WHY THE POET FAVOURED BIO – CHEMIC? NOT HOMEOPATHY?
He favoured Bio – chemic because it’s only 12 salts, but Homoeopathy is vast subject and it’s difficult to remember the names of the medicines and its functions. Besides, if the symptoms don’t fit with the medicine, it will not act. That’s why he liked to use Bio – Chemic medicines. Another good side of this medicine is that the medicine don’t mar the patient. Or it has no side effects. Rather it has a good effect on health. Moreover, it is easy to select the salts. Post 1930, unto his last he entirely depended on Bio – Chemic treatment. He purchased medicine from Medus Company ( German) of Kolkata.
THE BOOKS HE USED: RABINDRANATH TAGORE AS AN ALT. MED. PRACTITIONER :
Rabindranath used to follow these books:
1. Dr Suslar
2. Dr Caree
3. Dr Borick
4. Dr Chapman and the book of
5. Father Munar of Mangalore( Twelve Tissue Remedies.
According to him, Bio- chemistry means: Bios refers to Life, Chemistry is Rasayana. So, Bio – Chemistry means, ” Jiban Rasayan”.

4. Election Strategy of TMC & BJP
5. Finding some Fault behind the defeat of BJP
6. Conclusion:
1. Introduction: Not all sections of voters in West Bengal are truly appreciated the Assembly election result of 2021. It is fact, that TMC won the battle massively more than they expected, but it didn’t satisfied 38/39 per cent of the voters of Bengal. Who are they ?
Obviously, they’re not Muslims voters. This election is different from all other previous election. Because this election took place in between Bharatiya Janata Party and TMC. Others parties couldn’t put any impression amongst the voters.
2. 2021 West Bengal Election ResultAnalysis :
Why they were rejected ? Why CPIM, Congress and Cleric party couldn’t get any positive feedback to be a major opposition party in the assembly elections?
In brief, we can say that Muslim voters were polarised in any way. So, undoubtedly they didn’t support BJP, rather they favoured Mamata as their saviour or Mother. That’s why even the Muslim votes of CPIM and Congress had gone to Mamata which she didn’t expect at all. Mamata becomes successful to manage this minority votes in favour of her behalf by repeatedly saying that if “foreign party” ( BJP) get the victory they would have been looted all your property, even your son’s and daughters. Most of the literate Hindu don’t like Mamata, her nephew and other corrupted leaders. She and her party’s members won this electorial battle due to this cause.
Minority votes of four districts ( Murshidabad, Malda, North 24 Pargana, South 24 Parganas , the most minorities areas) which are of Congress and CPM totally gone to TMC. Kolkata didn’t favour BJP . There are causes behind it. I will definitely discuss later.
But it is true that the BJP could not celebrate a landmark win over Banerjee. The party, which once boasted it would get 200 seats in a 294 seat assembly (elections were held for 292 seats), was struggling to cross the halfway mark. Even hours before the start of counting, Union minister Babul Supriyo replied on Facebook that he was sure of winning when someone asked what would happen in the event of a defeat.
“I won’t lose, but even if I lose what you want from your heart I will go back to being a happy man because I heard what my conscience said and acted,” Babul said.
3. Why BJP Couldn’t Have Enjoy Success In This Election?
It is now emerging that the BJP had little ground support and always looked to the skies for the big buck victories because it had PM Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and the entire NDA cabinet backing the party. On the other hand, Mamata Banerjee campaigned mostly with a plastered leg on a wheelchair and picked up all the sentiments required to translate into votes.
1. Most of the BJP candidates are either new or not veteran like TMC leaders except Babul Suprio, Shamik Bhattacharya, Rahul Sinha. Rahul Sinha though veteran,but not popular.
2. Second cause is very sensitive that’s their face of Chief Minister. BJP didn’t clear about it before election. So it was a very uncertain to the people who would be the chief Minister if BJP government. I think in future it will be maintained.
3. BJP President Dilip Ghosh nodoubt is a good organizer, but he should be something polished in his utterance, especially when he is going to talk with the women of Bengal . He is a perfect man having no corruption or other bad habits. But Peoples of Bengal like to have a intellectual leader in this position .
4. The Trinamool Congress worked on the regional pride factor, BJP had none. Worse, again I am telling that the party could not even put forward a single name for the CM’s chair. There were intense speculations in the Indian Capital how four to six top BJP leaders were clamouring for the CM’s chair without realising they had virtually no political base in the state.
5. There were bickerings, serious bickerings throughout the campaign. What the leaders said was not exactly what the people believed,” said a BJP worker who did not want to be named. He said the party’s final tally of 77 was credible only because it’s previous tally in 2016 assembly elections was 3. Even 77 seats in the assembly will not change BJP’s fortunes in the state.

6. A reporter has described that it was like a single, fleet-footed Diego Maradona taking on a bunch of defenders near the penalty box.”The BJP often lampoons TMC, I am sure Didi will give them a befitting reply,” TMC MP Mimi Charaboarty once told this during an interview. Modi’s remarks of Didi O Didi was totally unacceptable to women who threw everything behind Banerjee.
At a press conference on Sunday, May 2, 2021, Banerjee told journalists that it was a “people’s victory”.
So, what went wrong with the BJP? The party could not handle Banerjee.
Banerjee, despite pressures and taunts, remained a thorn BJP could not handle. She made it clear to the masses in Bengal that regional aspirations cannot be steamrolled by a single ideology. She showed everyone why India is in urgent need of a leader who could take on the PM and his band of brothers on every single day and demand accountability for leading the country into an abyss.
7. Mamata asked why the polls were extended for over a month and why there was such massive deployment of Central forces. She also pointed out the slow procurement of vaccines by the Centre.
8. Too much Hindutwa, and Jai Shri Ram slogan might be cause of fear to the Muslim community. And also a section of Hindu who trust in constitutional secularity did not like it. Although they’re mostly intelectual CPM & Congress Voters. But yes, Hindus of Village areas favoured BJP and the people who were affected by the CPIM and TMC rules, they gave their support to BJP. I think in future the Bharatiya Janata Party must maintain it.
9. BJP’s hop, skip and jump politics was like sending a blind elephant charging into the opposition without realising the pitfalls of jungle warfare. The party said it understands Bengali culture but sent an insensitive person as Viswa Bharati’s vice chancellor who messed the show right from the word go. The news of his arrogance spread like wildfire. BJP lost the plot almost overnight.
10. The BJP tried hard to rope in former Indian skipper Saurav Ganguly, probably because it felt it had helped him become the BCCI president overnight. The move did not work, the party eventually got Mithun Chakraborty, a near leftover artist who made a mess of his appearance by saying he is a venomous King Cobra.
11. In Kolkata, BJP workers shouted Jai Shree Ram slogans at an event where both Modi and Banerjee were present to honour Netaji Subhas Bose on his birth anniversary. It was totally unnecessary. The BJP harped a lot on its founder Shyama Prasad Mukherjee but did nothing to repair his home, plans for a library and a study centre remained mostly in files.
“You cannot fight an election just because you have the PM and his cabinet on your side,” said Ashesh Sengupta, a senior writer who runs a conversational platform, Kathopokathon.
12. Mamata Banerjee convinced her voters that compassion and empathy are her key qualities and politicians who do not have these two qualities do not stand a chance. Banerjee in her rallies repeatedly talked about the decline of India’s democracy. It was like a mother explaining to her children that only she can guarantee peace by fighting the storm raging outside.
13. The BJP had Modi and his trusted lieutenant, Amit Shah, on its side and also UP CM Yogi Adityanath but no one was seen as the Pied Piper of Hamlin. They came, they saw and they left. The UP CM messed the show by saying people without valid documents will be shunted out of the state, the words consolidated the Muslim votes against the party.In repeated meetings, BJP leaders talked about their Sonar Bangla campaign or the promise to turn Bengal into an El Dorado but could not explain what it actually means. The BJP leaders repeatedly said it will follow the Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas but could not earn the much needed vishwas of voters who kept on wondering what would happen if TMC sweeps the show. No wonder they majorly walked into the Ma, Maati, Maanush camp. It was clear to Bengal that BJP has come with a Big Brother attitude, it has no interest to serve the state.
14. At the same time, Banerjee continued to talk about her small schemes in the countryside, which worked wonders with gullible villagers and those in Tier II and Tier III towns. Banerjee proved once again she was a root woman and no Oxford-educated candidate or half-baked film stars could upset the TMC applecart.
15. Time and again, top BJP leaders like Dilip Ghosh made disparaging remarks, triggering furore in the state. Ghosh wanted to change his rustic image and even started playing golf but continued to spew venom against people, especially women. Such was his arrogance that once a senior BJP leader messaged a journalist in Delhi, saying “Ghosh is like Dolce Gabbana (DG), one of its kind. He will not change.”
It was clear to Bengal that BJP has come with a Big Brother attitude, it has no interest to serve the state. And the fear of Ghosh as the Big Boss of the state was totally unfathomable to many in the state.
16. Worse, the bulk of the BJP half-Bengali language campaign totally revolved around anti-Mamata slander. Little did the party realise that Banerjee’s campaign of Banglar Meye (Bengal’s daughter) was a clever one as she planked herself as a target of outsiders, which helped the TMC pocket chunks of women’s votes. It was all about regional pride, a plank which had once helped Modi win a number of elections as the Gujarat CM.In short, Banerjee had no real opposition except the BJP’s big bag of resources and top leaders.
17. BJP’s inability to bring corruption cases in Bengal to a logical end also proved to be the party’s nemesis. Cases of ponzi scheme corruption, cut money scandals, coal scam and illegal cattle smuggling did not reach any logical conclusion. Banerjee’s nephew Abhishek openly challenged BJP to take action against him. The saffron brigade’s silence only bolstered the hopes of TMC supporters. BJP could not celebrate a landmark win over Banerjee
18. The TMC consolidated the minority vote, it was a shame that the BJP could not consolidate the Hindu votes. The minority votes of the Left Front and Congress also went to TMC, it pushed the party to greater heights. The BJP, which had the momentum in Bengal since the 2019 Lok Sabha elections when it won a large number of Lok Sabha seats, simply failed to tap the anti-incumbency sentiment against Banerjee, given a sheer lack of organisation on the ground.
4. Election Strategy Of TMC & BJP :
In 2019, the BJP led in 121 assembly segments in Bengal. In 2021, the saffron brigade hoped the anti-incumbency factor would take it beyond 147. But it did not work. The party could just not encash the disillusionment many had with TMC and secondly, its worker strength in Bengal was not even a patch on its power in Uttar Pradesh, even MP or Jharkhand.
The BJP wanted to work on the gains of 2019 to wrest power in 2021, not realising it took TMC 12 years to outsmart the Left Front in 2011 after Banerjee lost two elections. The BJP thought of the Modi factor as the game changer but it did not work.
5. Finding Some Fault Behind The Defeat Of BJP :
∆∆ Three factors went against the BJP.
(a) The huge deployment of Central Forcers sent a wrong signal to voters in the state that Modi, not the Election Commission, was taking the calls.
(b). Secondly, the injury sustained by Banerjee in Nandigram on March 10, worked to her advantage. She campaigned in a wheelchair and blamed the BJP. She regained her image of a fighting fit woman.
(c). Many in Bengal did not like Modi’s remarks of Didi O Didi, it was totally unacceptable to women who threw everything behind Banerjee. So, what went wrong with the BJP? The party could not handle Agni Kannya of Bengal, Mamata Banerjee.
(d). And finally, the Sitalkuchi firing incident on the day of the fourth phase of polling when four Muslim boys were killed in firing by Central forces helped Banerjee to rally the Muslim voters. She suddenly emerged as the sole survivor of the minority community. The Congress’s tactical withdrawal from Malda, Murshidabad and Dinajpur, where it had won 26 seats in 2016, hinted towards a secret pact between 10, Janpath and TMC.
6. Conclusion :
BJP continued to paint the big canvass without realising small issues often turn fortunes in elections. The party wanted to a powerful challenger, always arrived with police, loads of drummers and the backing of a powerful cabinet, and always asked Hindus to unite to counter TMC’s Muslim appeasement.
But the party was pushed to the ground like a prostrate, disembowell Gulliver by the TMC which worked mainly on sentiments.Tart-tongued Banerjee, in her trademark white sari and sandals, has now emerged as a big opposition candidate with this victory.
Parliamentary election 2024 is not far away. From now on, BJP should make strategy for the coming election considering all these loopholes so that they could have been enjoy a vibrant place in Bengal politics. And also will act like Amritanjan ointment to the supporters of BJP. Because they’re not okey in the post – election and result situation. Mostly they are very very poor and Hindu minorities. Kolkata’s so called Intellectuals and citizens don’t know the real situations of the Bengal villages, especially the villages of minority (Muslim)- solvent districts. TMC goons are continuing their bullying and Killing plays. So the play is going on.
Bankim chatterjee, the great author and nationalist once sang ” Vande Mataram” and wrote “Anandamath” and other political essays to awakening Hindus, but very sorry to say that later he was marked and convicted by some congress leaders as militant Hindu. The cause behind it, the then Muslims leaders did not grant” Vande Mataram” as it is imagined to be a Bharat Mata.
Hence we can say, we are not aware of us, about our culture. Until and unless we become conscious about it, we never win.
∆ How to care about Hypothyroidism ∆ What type of diet should be taken in hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism is a silent disease. When we are fearing about the 2nd phase of Covid, my spouse is having a massive weakness and palpitations. She’s a deep fatigue and can’t able to regular homework. Without any delay we had to go Hospital. BP is low. Doctor advised her to examine blood and ECG.
After examination, it’s found that ECG there is no such problem. But she has been suffering from Hypothyroidism.

What is hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism, also called underactive thyroid, is when the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormones to meet your body’s needs. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. Thyroid hormones control the way the body uses energy, so they affect nearly every organ in your body, even the way your heart beats. Without enough thyroid hormones, many of your body’s functions slow down.The thyroid is a small gland in your neck that makes thyroid hormones.
How common is hypothyroidism?
About 4.6 percent of the U.S. population ages 12 and older has hypothyroidism, although most cases are mild. That’s almost 5 people out of 100.
Who is more likely to develop hypothyroidism?
Women are much more likely than men to develop hypothyroidism. The disease is also more common among people older than age 60.
You are more likely to have hypothyroidism if you
have had a thyroid problem before, such as a goiter
have had surgery to correct a thyroid problem
have received radiation treatment to the thyroid, neck, or chest
have a family history of thyroid disease
were pregnant in the past 6 months
have Turner syndrome NIH external link, a genetic disorder that affects females
have other health problems, including
Sjogrin’s syndrome NIH external link, a disease that causes dry eyes and mouth
Pernicious anaemia NIH external link, a condition caused by a vitamin B12 deficiency
type 1 diebetes
reumatoid arthritis NIH external link, an autoimmuine disease that affects the joints
Lipus NIH external link, a chronic inflammatory condition
Is it (hypothyroidism) during pregnancy a problem?
Hypothyroidism that isn’t treated can affect both the mother and the baby. However, thyroid medicines can help prevent problems and are safe to take during pregnancy. Learn more about causes, diagnosis, and treatment of hypothyroidism during pregnancy.
Other health problems because of hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism can contribute to high cholesterol, so people with high cholesterol should be tested for hypothyroidism. Rarely, severe, untreated hypothyroidism may lead to myxedema coma, an extreme form of hypothyroidism in which the body’s functions slow to the point that it becomes life-threatening. Myxedema coma requires immediate medical treatment.
Symptoms of hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism has many symptoms that can vary from person to person. Some common symptoms of hypothyroidism include
fatigue
weight gain
a puffy face
trouble tolerating cold
joint and muscle pain
constipation
dry skin
dry, thinning hair
decreased sweating
heavy or irregular menstrual periods
fertility problems
depression
slowed heart rate
goiter
Because hypothyroidism develops slowly, many people don’t notice symptoms of the disease for months or even years.
Many of these symptoms, especially fatigue and weight gain, are common and don’t always mean that someone has a thyroid problem.
What causes hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism has several causes, including
Hashimoto’s disease
thyroiditis, or inflammation of the thyroid
congenital hypothyroidism, or hypothyroidism that is present at birth
surgical removal of part or all of the thyroid
radiation treatment of the thyroid
some medicines
Less often, hypothyroidism is caused by too much or too little iodine in the diet NIH external link or by pituitary disease.
Hashimoto’s Disease
Hashimoto’s disease is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune disorder. With this disease, your immune system attacks the thyroid. The thyroid becomes inflamed and can’t make enough thyroid hormones.
Thyroiditis
Thyroiditis is inflammation of your thyroid that causes stored thyroid hormone to leak out of your thyroid gland. At first, the leakage increases hormone levels in the blood, leading to hyperthyroidism, a condition in which thyroid hormone levels are too high. The hyperthyroidism may last for up to 3 months, after which your thyroid may become underactive. The resulting hypothyroidism usually lasts 12 to 18 months, but sometimes is permanent.
Several types of thyroiditis can cause hyperthyroidism and then cause hypothyroidism:
Subacute thyroiditis. This condition involves a painfully inflamed and enlarged thyroid. Experts are not sure what causes subacute thyroiditis, but it may be related to an infection caused by a virus or bacteria .
Posrpartum thyroidities. This type of thyroiditis develops after a woman gives birth.
Silent thyroiditis. This type of thyroiditis is called “silent” because it is painless, even though your thyroid may be enlarged. Experts think silent thyroiditis is probably an autoimmune condition.
Congenital hypothyroidism
Some babies are born with a thyroid that is not fully developed or does not function properly. If untreated, congenital hypothyroidism can lead to intellectual disability NIH external link and growth failure—when a baby doesn’t grow as expected. Early treatment can prevent these problems, which is why most newborns in the United States are tested for hypothyroidism.
Surgical removal of part or all of the thyroid
When surgeons remove part of the thyroid, the remaining part may produce normal amounts of thyroid hormone, but some people who have this surgery develop hypothyroidism. Removal of the entire thyroid always results in hypothyroidism.
Surgeons may remove part or all of the thyroid as a treatment for
hyperthyroidism
a large goiter
thyroid nodules, which are noncancerous tumors or lumps in the thyroid that can produce too much thyroid hormone .
Medicines
Some medicines can interfere with thyroid hormone production and lead to hypothyroidism, including
amiodarone, a heart medicine
interferon alpha, a cancer medicine
lithium, a bipolar disorder medicine
interleukin-2, a kidney cancer medicine
How do doctors diagnose hypothyroidism?
Your doctor will take a medical history and do a physical exam, but also will need to do some tests to confirm a diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Many symptoms of hypothyroidism are the same as those of other diseases, so doctors usually can’t diagnose hyperthyroidism based on symptoms alone.
Because hypothyroidism can cause fertility problems, women who have trouble getting pregnant often get tested for thyroid problems.
Your doctor may use several blood tests to confirm a diagnosis of hypothyroidism and find its cause.
How is hypothyroidism treated?
There are various types of treatment of Hypothyroidism. First of all, I will discuss about homoeopathic medicine to treat it. It is proved that Homeopathic medicine can cure hyperthyroidism. You can try these medications.
1. Tuberculosis 1m one dose. You will not take other medicines at least 24 hours.
2. Thyrodinum 30 four times a day. It will continue for months. 4 drops.
3. Calcaria Carb 30 two times daily. 3/4 drops.
4. Aconite 30 + Arsenic Alb 30 + Kali Phos 200 ( if palpitations too much) you can take it several times until your palpitations decline.
Now Alopathy treatment. It is treated by replacing the hormone that your thyroid can no longer make. You will take levothyroxine NIH external link, a thyroid hormone medicine that is identical to a hormone the thyroid normally makes. Your doctor may recommend taking the medicine in the morning before eating.
Your doctor will give you a blood test about 6 to 8 weeks after you begin taking thyroid hormone and adjust your dose if needed. Each time your dose is adjusted, you’ll have another blood test. Once you’ve reached a dose that’s working for you, your health care provider will probably repeat the blood test in 6 months and then once a year.
Your hypothyroidism most likely can be completely controlled with thyroid hormone medicine, as long as you take the recommended dose as instructed. Never stop taking your medicine without talking with your health care provider first.
What should I eat or not eating if I have hypothyroidism?
The thyroid uses iodine to make thyroid hormones. However, people with Hashimoto’s disease or other types of autoimmune thyroid disorders may be sensitive to harmful side effects from iodine. Eating foods that have large amounts of iodine—such as kelp, dulse, or other kinds of seaweed—may cause or worsen hypothyroidism. Taking iodine supplements can have the same effect.
Talk with members of your health care team about what foods you should limit or avoid, and let them know if you take iodine supplements. Also, share information about any cough syrups that you take because they may contain iodine.
Women need more iodine when they are pregnant because the baby gets iodine from the mother’s diet. If you are pregnant, talk with your health care provider about how much iodine you need.
Book censorship is not a new phenomenon – books have been banned and burnt for centuries. In a multicultural country like India, it is difficult to maintain perfect stability, especially when it comes to religion.
Far too often, religion seeps into public life, into politics and literature, instigating waves of discord that manifest themselves through public demonstrations and litigation.
On a fundamental level, censorship of books displays a blatant disregard for pluralism, and an overwhelming eagerness to tear down new ideas.
While it is certainly the government’s prerogative, too often, the law is taken in the hands by outraged citizens!
As the spate of book banning continues in India, here are some of the most controversial banned books in India in the recent past –
An Area of Darkness – V.S. Naipaul
The first book in Naipaul’s trilogy on India – ‘An Area of Darkness’ was published in 1964. It is a semi-autobiographical account of the year he spent travelling in India.
The style of the book is quintessentially Naipaul – unsentimental, unflinching – he writes with a coldness of a surgeon’s knife. It features Naipaul’s strikingly original responses to India’s paralyzing caste system, its apparently serene acceptance of poverty and squalor, and the conflict between its desire for self-determination and its nostalgia for the British raj.
Obviously, the dark tone of the book did not please the Indian tourism board. Criticised for its portrayal of India as a helpless, hopeless place, the book was banned in India.
The Satanic Verses – Salman Rushdie
The Satanic Verses
Salman Rushdie’s ‘The Satanic Verses’ is considered the most controversial book ever, which got him immense notoriety as a writer and also a few death threats.
There was a rash of protests around the world following its publication in 1988. Books and effigies of the writer were burnt. India was the first country to ban the book – other countries soon followed suit.
The book is about two Indian expatriates, now living in England, are on an airplane when it is exploded by terrorists.
They survive the explosion and the fall, but after landing their lives change. The garish obnoxious one, gains a halo, becoming the arch-angel Gabreel and the prim and proper other one becomes the devil.
The devil’s story is his reintroduction into society and the angel’s story is through his dreams, who he inspires the prophet Mohammad. Everything culminates into a showdown between these two entities.
Shivaji: Hindu King in Islamic India – James Laine
Shivaji-Hindu King in Islamic India
When this biographical book on the Maratha King Shivaji was published in 2003, nobody could have anticipated the public ire that it drew. James Laine, a highly respected scholar, had done some of his research for the book in Bhandarkar Institute of Oriental Research, Pune.
While a ban was imposed on the book in Maharashtra, angry mobs ransacked the institute, destroyed many precious manuscripts in the process. James Laine traces the origin and development of the Shivaji legend from the earliest sources to the contemporary accounts of the tale.
His primary concern was to discover the meaning of Shivaji’s life for those who have composed the legendary accounts of his military victories, his daring escapes, his relationships with saints.
In the process, he painted a complex picture of Hindu-Muslim relations from the seventeenth century to the present.
Jinnah: India, Partition, Independence – Jaswant Singh
Jinnah, India, Partition, Independence
Eyebrows were raised when Jaswant Singh, a prominent member of the BJP came out with a book on Jinnah in 2009. Like its heavy title, the book was pronounced to have suitable scholarly merit.
Instead of being a tendentious tome, it was a well-researched, perspicuous book. However, the Gujarat government banned the book and Jaswant Singh was unceremoniously expelled from his party.
The partition of India in 1947, has been the most wounding trauma of the twentieth century. Why did this partition take place at all?
Jaswant Singh attempts to find an answer. He studies Jinnah’s political journey beginning as ‘an ambassador of Hindu-Muslim Unity’ and ended up with his becoming the ‘sole spokesman’ of Muslims in India.
The book attempts an objective evaluation of Jinnah’s transformation.
Such A Long Journey – Rohinton Mistry
‘Such a long journey’ is a highly acclaimed novel by Rohinton Mistry. It has won many awards like The Commonwealth Writers Prize, Governor General’s award, and was also shortlisted for the prestigious Booker prize.
It follows the family life of a Parsi protagonist in the tumultuous decade of 1970, under the rule of Indira Gandhi. Shiv Sena objected to the ‘derogatory’ remarks made against its leader in the book. The issue was fiercely debated on public forums and within academic circles after the University of Mumbai withdrew the book from its syllabus.
Rohinton Mistry later issued a public statement, expressing his disappointment about the withdrawal.
Polyester Prince: The Rise of Dhirubhai Ambani – Hamish McDonald
Polyester Prince-The Rise of Dhirubhai Ambani
‘Polyester Prince’, the unofficial biography of Dhirubhai Ambani, which could have been one of the polemical biographies of the decade, never saw the light of the day.
Harper Collins, the publisher anticipated legal action from the Ambani family and pulled the plug before the book could go into print. The book comments on length on the concept of power, and gives a riveting account of Ambani’s meteoric rise, his hits and misses and his successors.
The book, though unavailable in India, can be found and read on the web. Pirated copies of the book are also commonplace.
It was five past midnight in Bhopal – Dominique Lapierre and Javier Moro
It was five past midnight in Bhopal
‘It was five past midnight in Bhopal’ is a novel based on one of the greatest disasters in the recent times – the Bhopal gas tragedy, which killed thousands of people and left lakhs injured.
Instead of being a dry, prosaic account, the book is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, a chronicle of human survival against all odds.
The book was banned after Swaraj Puri, the commissioner of Bhopal during that period, filed a defamation suit. Later, the ban was lifted by the Madhya Pradesh high court.

Date- Work – Author – Notes: 1892 Risala-i-Jihad Pandit Lekh Ram . Pandit Lekh Ram’s Risala-i-Jihad was challenged and a ban was attempted.[78] Risala-i-Jihad ya’ri Din-i-Muhammad ki Bunyad (A Treatise on waging holy war, or the foundation of the Muhammadan Religion) caused a considerable outcry, when it was published in 1892. Until his murder by a Muslim five years later, Lekh Ram continued to stir up animosity by his vituperative writings.”[79]1985QuranReligious textOn 20 July 1984, H.K. Chakraborty wrote to the Secretary, Department of Home Government of West Bengal, demanding the ban of the Quran. Chakraborty thereafter with Chandmal Chopra wrote to the Department of Home Government of West Bengal on 16 March 1985.[80] Chopra then filed a writ Petition at the High Court. Chandmal Chopra tried to obtain an order banning the Koran, by filing a Writ Petition at the Calcutta High Court on 29 March 1985. The petition claimed that Sections 153A and 295A of the Indian Penal Code, and Section 95 of the Criminal Procedure Code were often used by Muslims to ban or proscribe publications critical of Islam, and stated that “so far it had been the privilege of the Peoples of the Book to ban and burn the sacred literature of the Pagans.”[80] Chandmal Chopra thought that the Koran “on grounds of religion promotes disharmony, feeling of enmity, hatred and ill-will between different religious communities and incite people to commit violence and disturb public tranquility…” The Telegraph of 9 May 1985 reported that the Union Government would make itself a party in the case, and the Union law minister Ashoke Sen and the attorney-general of the Government of India were going to take action against the case.[81] Muslim lawyers after a meeting condemned the case. According to The Telegraph of 10 May, the Chief Minister of West Bengal called the petition “a despicable act”. Other politicians in the Lok Sabha at New Delhi, and the Minister of State for Law condemned the Petition.[82] Pakistan’s minister of state for religious and minority affairs claimed that the petition was the ‘worst example of religious intolerance’, and he urged the Indian government to ‘follow the example of Pakistan’ in ensuring freedom of religion.[83] The petition was however dismissed in May 1985. The Attorney-General of the Government of India and the Advocate-General of West Bengal appeared in the case and argued against Chopra’s petition. On 18 June 1985 Chandmal Chopra filed a review petition, which was dismissed on 21 June.[80][84][85]1993Hindu View of Christianity and IslamRam SwarupRam Swarup’s Hindu View of Christianity and Islam was challenged by Syed Shahabuddin (who previously successfully managed to get the Satanic Verses banned).

What’s Democracy? Why it is not in a good position?
Bengal Election 2021, has been now going on according to democratic rules. Election Commission is the highest authority to conduct this massive ceremony of democracy. We know that India is a Democratic country and it’s one of the most popular democratic countries in the world. Our country is governed by the people, of the people and for the people. It’s the first and foremost characteristics of the democracy.
The Indian government is the largest and most developed democratic government which has acclaimed a profound reputation in all respects after getting freedom from the British.
We have achieved independence through the lot of struggle. India became a free nation on August 15, 1947 and it declared itself a Sovereign, Democratic and Republic state with the adaptation of the Constitution on January 26, 1950.
It is based on the federal structure of government. Democracy is a system of government in which the citizens exercise powers directly or elect representatives from among themselves to form a governing body, such as Parliament.
It’s also referred to rule of the majority. Here the power can’t be inherited. People elect their leaders. Representatives stand in an election and the citizens vote for their representative. The representative with the most number of votes gets the power.
However, We have lost so many lives. We have lost our own neighbours. Bengal has divided into two. Now we are in West Bengal. Rest of Bengalis are now in Bangladesh, a country.
So we are one of the states or provinces of India. Though many Hindu population had to come here from East Bengal after the partition. And still, now Bengali Hindus are coming from Bangladesh.
Why the Hindus are coming from Bangladesh?
Muslims majority Bangladeshi people don’t want Hindus community as their neighbours. So minority Hindus are still leaving their own motherland, and settling down here in West Bengal. Now they’re solvent here.
On the contrary, the Muslim community of West Bengal are gradually expanding because of their uncontrolled birth rates. While Hindus are extremely conscious of the birth rate and don’t want to have more than one child, on the other hand, the Muslim community are uncontrolled about this issue.
They are not aware of birth control. So they are having 7/8 sons and daughters. This is a great problem of our country.
Hope it’s clear to you what is democracy! The election procedure is the main criteria to be handled by the election commission for making a stable government.
Everyone has the right to vote for his representative. And if it possible to conduct an election by the Commission smoothly, so there’s no problem.
But the problem is here. There was a time when the election took place very calm and disciplinary way. But after 1970, it had not been possible.
This is not the fault of the Election Commission. Political leaders and their special musclemen are responsible for this undemocratic situation. Mainly ruling party has always been trying to capture the booths by their muscle man.
Therefore, gentlemen abstain from voting. Sometimes, muscles men used to threaten the voters not to present in the booth. Sometimes they capture the booths by hook or by the cook.
We have seen it in the previous election. Even it’s now almost a part of the election. Manhandling, death threats, bomb – bursting, brick-throwing to opposition leaders as well as supporters are some of the causes of undemoçratic situations.
Most of the political leaders are not from literate family. Even they have no education. Mainly connected with the corruption, convicted in money -laundering case, forgery and also in criminal charges.
At present, politics mean to manipulate and to manage cores of public money. Let’s see TMC leaders. All most all the leaders are corrupted.
They have taken a lot of money from Rose Valley, Sarada and Narada. Kunal Ghosh, now TMC spokesman, Saugata Roy, Satabdi Roy, Madan Mitra, even Mamata connected with this scam.
Some players of Mamata have changed their party and joined in BJP. I am saying about Mukul Roy and Bharati Ghosh. Both are convicted. They are now under the umbrella of BJP.
Most importantly, the ruling party leaders like Abhisekh Banerjee, Samir Babu, another Minister Jyotipriya Mallick, Arup Roy and so on are tremendously connected with corruption.
This government and their leaders are not out of the question. Ration Scam, Coal scam, Cow supply scam, Sands scam, Tarpaulin –
hustle, etc so many scams are wrapped up in the deep digging . We don’t desire all these scams in democracy.
Lastly, Coal Scam is a great source of party funds. Moreover, it is in the light that in every month 30 to 35 crores Rs of coal money has gone to an account of Rujira in Bangkok Bank, who is the wife of Abhisekh Banerjee, Trinamul MP and nephew of TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee.
We have seen the photos in Quora his Shantiniketan, 5 storied gorgeous building and another beautiful multi-storied building.
We have heard from different Kolkata – based leaders that there are so many buildings and flats in Kolkata of 34 years old Abhisekh. He has also hotels in Puri and Digha. Also Delux Bus services. He has done a lot through cut money, commissions.
Even he has taken lot of bribes by giving services and job transfer etc. Is it proper in democracy?
Mamata now speaking that Central Government is selling Rail, Banks, and other government profitable institutions and they are making money. Is it possible? Or is it Rational?
Rather, she should rectify her own greater families. As a common people, we are to know about the sources of income of her party leaders, along with Abhishek’s sources of income and his properties and Bank balance. Citizens of Bengal, as well as India and all the media can be able to understand what is going on behind this. It should be clear before the common masses.
But naturally, the ruling party is trying to get hold the power again. If they achieve it, no one can ask them about their corruption. Common people, mostly villagers couldn’t find the fault of ruling party. They are given some powers. So they are contented. It’s the politics of appeasement and polarisation.
Present Chief Minister is providing some 500 to 1000 to 2000 per head as different skims and temporary casual works. It’s her policy to attract people and to get a vote in favour of her party.
No new services has been given to educated unemployment youths. So Need to establish industrial belt, which can provide them employment.
Need to vocational training and education, lest the youths can learn it in pen to paper and to hand, so that they can do earn something for their livelihood.
Hence, whenever not doing so, ruling party is trying to win in vote – game by muscle powers, and making nuisance, ploralisation and manhandling, Booth – capturing, threatening to common people, it is beyond democracy. It’s called”anarchism”.
Political murdered is now open secret. Near about 140 BJP supporters has been killed by the opposition party. It’s also against the Democratic system.
Rigging is also against democracy. In spite of that, we need to be able to give vote for our democracy.
Today is 8.4.21. Third round of Election has already been completed. The election campaigning for the fourth round today is over.
Therefore, hope the people of West Bengal could have been able to cast their vote in the ballot paper in natural means. Leaders should be careful not to provoking their supporters in acting undemocratically any violence or malpractice in election process.
Casting a vote to his/ her favourite representative is like a sacrifice a flower to his or her God or Goddess in a holy democracy. So don’t pollute it. Hope next phase of election will be furnished with calm and cool. Our right is to save the holy democracy.
My Dream’s Bird is absolutely my own We can’t live in this world without dreams From childhood to gray days Dreams come and dreams go Sometimes it’s daydream, sometime nightmare with tremendous shocking , yet I play with these unrealistic games, Never getting any fruitful solution Running into the darkened mist .
Let fly in the sky your dream bird Don’t captivate your small desires in your secret chamber, don’t afraid of walking through the dark forest or deep sea , Or climbing at peak of high mountain Always be firm and steady in your journey Whatever the consequence it’s , So don’t stop to enjoy dreams as life is too much uncertain why do you not enjoy it.
SAVE ME, MOTHER!
Oh , My mind , Let plunging into the deep Ocean by the name of Kali. She is the Mistress of this eternal Universe and also our beloved guide , helping us in all our activities , in our dream , in our pain and suffering , in our alldutiesand responsibilities likewatchtower always directing us to reach safely towards purification andilluminating world .
Mother !I have been killing my goldentime of life playing withDolls, and havingabsented fromnot doing your work , how could I reach to you ? Tell me , Mother . I’m am sinkinginto my own digging waterbody by mistaking . And have spent my times and energies to enjoy instant access of pleasure.
Mistakenly I have been chased after impured and untrue means . Let you come to me to rescue from this muddy waters of falsehood, as It has been mesmerizing me . My toe to head are wrapped up in muds. I am like a drawning boat inthe middleof tormented and dreadful waves , having no helmsmanto guide me.
I am drifting helplessly like astraw . As I have been tremendously wounded and my soul shivering for uncertainty. Hence, no one will come to save me but you. Oh my Mother! Please stretch your hands to save a sinking man who is waiting for you.
“The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is Humility.” – C C Colton
YOURS AND MY PATH
We think that ours journey towards life are straight, And trouble – free , Not a single stuff and clumsiness might not hinder us from our Fest . But Is it true ? This is a question of general mob who has no backing of power like chief minister’s nephew .
It’s not life where you never you face any deep forest of clouds in your path? Or a dreadful night! Life is a playing field where we play a short term game , May be you have succeeded by your skilled, or not !
Perhaps I couldn’t , but trying utmost in this short span of life, having lost or gain, no shy . If you start your journey towards light , have to cross so many red and black seas , forests and peaks of the mountains , Even long long desert – may it be , “Gobi Sahara”or run of Cocch, the endless desert.
you have to cross a long way to achieve the immortal vibrant light of Gods . May it be a play or Lila? We ought to not what it is ? But each and everyone must play on in Winter or in the dark rainy night with”Him” , Never become wearied and exhausted in this race , As it’s your life’s play.
I have put you in my heart with gourding and fencing, None can reach there except my beloved , No one can able to snatch you from my deep and sensational eyes And heart as I see you in my inner eye like a torch light , When I finished my all fight through the path of dreadful night.
You have gifted me all your love and light , day and night I never miss you as you and me are one . You are my unknown world, silent night , the star of the night and the Sun of the day .
you are my melodies and hymn . I used to draw your picture since time immemorial , you walk through my path in sorrows and Joy , I am wrapped in you , so never fall from the Sky.
আমার এ পথ গেছে বেঁকে তোমার পানে
ক্ষুদ্র এ জীবন , অনিশ্চিত যাত্রা পথ হেসে খেলে ভালবেসে ভরে নাও প্রাণ , হার জিতে হয়ো না বিবশ । গভীর অরণ্য মাঝে শ্বাপদ – সঙ্কুল পথে দিতে হবে পাড়ি, অদম্য শক্তি ও লক্ষ্য পথে অবিচল থেকে যাত্রা কর মুক্তির স্বর্গ – মায়াময় অমরাবতী । শুরু হবে সে খেলা তোমাতে আমাতে , বরষার দিন কিম্বা রৌদ্র-স্নাত শুচি শুভ্র অলস বেলাতে। চোখ মেলে চাও আকাশের পানে , রঙ তুলি দিয়ে কি আঁকো মনেতে ! জীবন যুদ্ধে হয়ো না বিবশ। দিতে হবে পাড়ি ওই দূরে দেখঅমরাবতী ।
আমি তোমার হৃদয় তুলিয়া নিয়েছি আপন করে, দিবস রজনী প্রাণপনে বাঁধি তোমার হৃদয় আমার হৃদয়ে ,নীরবে কাটায় রাতের আঁধারে , বাঁধভাঙা আলো বারবার সাধি , তুমি তোমার হৃদয় তুলিয়া দিয়েছ উজাড় করে । রাত্রি ভোরে।
তুমিই আমার অজানা পৃথিবী নীরব রাতি , রাতের তারা দিনের রবি , বহুকাল ধরে এঁকেছি আমি তোমার ছবি , নয়ন রেখে আমার পানে – পথ হেঁটে যাও গন্ধে ও গানে , চিরকাল তুমি মোর বুকে রবে ও দরদি সাথি ।।
এখানেই আছে স্বর্গ নরক – নহে নহে বহুদূর , ঘুমে জাগরণে অথবা স্বপনে হেসে খেলে যাও পিছে নাহি চাও , দুখে আর সুখে জীবনে মরণে , পাখি হয়ে ওড়ো আকাশে বাতাসে, জোর করে লও প্রাণ মন ভরে হৃদয় সুখ , বাজাও বাঁশরি নিশীথ রাত্রি সময় হয়েছে আলোর যাত্রী – ওই শোনা যায় রিমঝিম সুরে পায়ের নূপুর ।।
I desire to live in this world, it’s my sweet home. Never I want this world to be a very small like seed or a fruit, Amloki . I want a world which would spread peace and harmony, Certainly I would get found my world.
Oh my world, please extent yourself, expand unto Brahma and the whole Universe , spread up to endless sky or the entire spaces, near and far . Let My world be eternal, endless and beyond geographical , World!
Oh my dear World, don’t be contracted, nor hopeless, or narrow hearted ,and me, rather being small and more smaller would wrap you and hug you with utmost care.Journey Never stop
You become big and I stay small like your obedient child , only for looking into your magistry I would be very soft like a bunchof silk – very softand formless , if I get a little alert , being rolled up like a Murshidabad silk ,try to enter into the circle of the ring with a gentle coursey .
The World Is Very Big, It Can Not Be Small like Pond. It’s so old that never been lost.
Oh my companion of joy and sorrow , the wind is blowing in my life , Let come to me for traveling another world where there’s no pain and suffering, no betraying , no unemployment , and no corruption likehere .Space
The wind is blowing, the wind of outing for anybeautifulplaces with my friends – tell to the trees, let come to outing with me. Let talk to the path that I might return at late night , don’t wait for me , but keep shutting off the door.
You can sing a song for your remote friends , but that song will be mingled with the drops of the dews in the space . You are to be carried out lots of fairy tales , – but whom do you tell it ? Whose are your listeners? Before lying down on the bed the people are being absorbed in deep sleep ; beasts and birds are also in out of consciousness, probably they’re in their nest resting to gain the energies for the next expedition. Even the moon and the stars are not in awakened state. Thus we have wasted a massive times throughout our life. Oh companion of sorrow and delight of my Life, Let’s go to another world of merriment, where the moon and stars, are always ready to welcome.
WHEN WORDS ARE ATOMS
WORDS after words are woven in fine to making an ornament for surrender in love , Might be a peaceful life.
Words build a strong Mansion where we live in , Words are source of Power, love and peace.
Words can create a long road , which is loyal to us like a legal deed. We need words in struggle to reach the goal of life.
Words are sometime immens’ly mysterious like dark tunnels, Never end its journey to destination.
We can’t keep words ever ultimately due to lack of power and confidence . So we never allow words to make a Dreamland .
In childhood days I dreamt of the entire skies where stars and planets gave me words for sheltering.
Its colourful beds wrap up with warm huggings , but it didn’t keep its words to make me vibrant anymore I hoped .
Words are the voice of Lord if it comes from the core of heart, and from the soul.
It’s mantras of the sages are a kind of sagas which by listening heartily can transform our lives into peace.
But it’s very unstable as it buzzles out not alarming . Love words as your siblings, play with them.
If you dance day and night in pain and gain, but never try to make it friend in the rain and gain.
Words are atoms ,They are from ” One “ , And ” One ” derives in many and many more . It takes sometimes a outer surface.
A cover like the outer surface of tortoise. It has no deep and sound significance, butif it’sunfoldeda vibrant light turns you dumb in the fight .
After an unwanted shivering like initial jet-jerking you will reach out to the midst of the galaxy, That world is not like this Earth,That’s a world of merriment.
Neither any useless mess nor any rough and tough game to make you worried or fix . These are the places for your renunciation. So Crack it.
You become enrichedwith its charming love. Here the wordsaresweetand the sky is like a sea having riffling with an aggressive mood and if you’re a true pilot, let goon a eternalvoyages.
Shiuli, the flowers of Autumn moves me into a nostalgia. I suddenly jumped out at the long long past where there was a Shiuli tree at the far end corner of our ancestral home . Still I reach there when Autumn comes.
At every dawn woking up, I used to run to collect the flowers which dropped down on the ground surrounding the tree so that no one comes before me . And takes it up , still I feel the sounds of the dew, and also the sounds of falling Shiuli flowers on the ground of our garden in every Autumn.
Even more prominently I listen the sound of the dew now , A strange and pure smell captivating me and alerting about the presence of Durgama.
Her presence wipes out all the pains , sorrows of clouds of the moments. Broken all the isolation , discrimination and remoteness . Her presence spreads a lot of vibrant lights in our lives . We become enlightened , become free like a caged birds when they uncaged and fly in the sky.
I love to fly from hills to dessert at day and night with my wings. I won’t to be encaged in this narrow, restricted rooms with the unhealthy atmosphere. I want to fly, I want to make a room in the sky.
I feel it more and more in my heart when goddess Durga returns to her parent’s house with her siblings. Removing all the clouds of pain and suffering , spreading all her blessings . She comes here to remove the disease – pandemic with her divine light , Might we get peace and insight .
I don’t know why I again and again get absorbed in those greeny days. obviously, all those golden days were my long past Autumn.
My childhood days were colourful, and spontaneous . I was a school boy, who had to face a tedious school going. Wolking from home about three four km. There was river in between my home and school . we have to cross over this river by boat. In rainy season, the river turns horrible with massive refflings. More lot of home tasks, and exams, our journey of botheration lastly stopped with the dew fall and with the mesmerising scent of the Shiuli, and coming of Gauri Ma, Which I still feel in heart heart.a breath and in the Sky.
শিউলি ফুলের সুবাস জড়িয়ে তুমি
এখন শরৎ । – শিশিরের শব্দের মত শিউলি ফুলের সুবাস জড়িয়ে ধরে আমাকে সেই ফেলে আসা দিনের মতো আষ্টেপৃষ্টে । আমার ছেলেবেলার ফেলে আসা দিনগুলো প্রতি মূহুর্তের সঙ্গী হয়ে ছায়ার মতো ঘিরে ধরে আমাকে , আমি যেদিকে যাই , সেও চলে আমার পাশে পাশে , আমি নীরব হলে সেও নীরব হয়ে থাকে , অপেক্ষা করে আমার চারপাশে । নীরবে , নিঃশব্দে দেশি-বিদেশি ফুলের সৌরভ নিয়ে ভরিয়ে দিতে চায় , আমিও ভেসে ভেসে পৌঁছে যায় অবগাহন করার সুখ শান্তির আশায়।তারা আসে বাতাসে ছড়িয়ে দিয়ে ভোরের সৌরভ , শিউলির সুবাস , আগমনীর রঙ ও রাংতার সুন্দর আবেশ নিয়ে , – সব রোগ ভোগ দুঃখ কষ্ট মহামারী কে দূরে নিক্ষেপ করে সপাটে , খেদিয়ে দেয় সাত সমুদ্রের তীরে , ওপারে ।মায়ের আগমনে ধরিত্রী হয়ে ওঠে সুন্দর। মধুময় । নব নব সংগীতে ভরে ওঠে প্রাণ । রুপোলি চাঁদের আলোয় গোটা আকাশ কখন যে জায়গা জুড়ে বসে আমার হৃদয় মাঝে আমারই মনের অগোচরে , আমি বুঝতেই পারি না, এই শারদ সকালে এক ঝুড়ি সুবাস জড়িয়ে তার পরশে অনুভব করি আমার শৈশবের ফেলে আসা দিনগুলোকে ।
এখনো আমি আমার শৈশবে ফিরে যাই , আর ফিরে গিয়েঅনুভব করি এখনও যেন কাশফুলের কোমল পুচ্ছ গুলো হাওয়ায় দুলে ওঠে , মৃন্ময়ী মা আগের মতোই চিন্ময়ী হয়ে ওঠে , বাতাসে ভেসে আসে আগমনীর সুর সেই আগের মতই , ঢাকের বাজনাও সেই আগের মতই রোমাঞ্চকর মনে হয় । সব দুঃখ প্রশমিত হয় এক মূহুর্তে , আমার অগোচরে পৃথিবী আলোয় আলোকিত হয়ে যায় , সব ঝড় যায় থেমে মা গৌরী এলে ।
I DREAM I WANT TO LIVE
Don’t try to live forever. You will not succeed.” — G. B . Shaw
Life of a common people like us is not bed of roses. We have the right to dream for a better world , but the path is full of hurdles. In this poem this struggling journey is depicted. – Dr. Sushil Rudra ——————————————-
It’s drizzling raining with thunder storms touching me by its cooling sensation, I am wetted with it furious hugging, My bones, my blood and my soul too . The masculine blows like an angry giant shivering and shouting loudly , which touching me , my skin and wounds me , wrapped with black clouds. What a surprise ! A white gascious substance coming out from my eyes and uncertain dreams showering like rain without any conscious , So , I , engage in pudding the holes .
I am trying to collect the small pieces of paper and making a boat , Probably, a holy spiritual man sails away for a remote kingdom . The sink of bathroom has filled in water . I’m then early age, My beloved mother shut off the sink quickly with rebuking me ; Noya hurt the Night with full swing and energy, as if it stinks out.
The Tsunami is live in deep blue sea , nobody survive , I am standing at the end of the Titanic , alone , No friend with me . I’m alone there, Alone — Going to the deepest sea . The big ice pieces cover me from the poisonous sharpen teeths of Sharks , But I am undone to save Noya from this dreadful situation , May God save her for ever.
I’m as good as dead waiting in the dream world for love and happiness and to hug . So I start for an unknown world where I can get security to live in peace.
Bengali Version:
বাঁচতে চাই আমি তোমার ইশারায় – সুশীল রুদ্র
বৃষ্টি পড়ছে , আর ভিজিয়ে দিচ্ছে উলঙ্গ প্রকৃতির নরম নীল দেহটাকে , গোঁ গোঁ আওয়াজ করে রাগী মাতাল হাতির দলের মতো বিক্ষোভে উত্তাল বাতাস রাতভোর দাঙ্গায় মদমত্ত , বিভোর ; দুর্বৃত্তরা কখনো ক্লান্ত হয় না। কখনো মমতায় হয়না আবিষ্ট। হঠাৎই বিদ্যুৎ স্পৃষ্ট করে গেল আমার সুচিকন চামড়া, চামড়ার অভ্যন্তরে থাকা রক্ত মজ্জা শিরা উপ -শিরা , নেমে এলো মিশকালো এক প্রকাণ্ড মেঘের দল , কেন জানি না , আমার দুচোখ ভরে বেড়িয়ে এলো সাদা সাদা বিষন্ন ভাপ , হঠাৎই অপ্রত্যাশিত স্বপ্নগুলো বর্ষন ধারায় ঝরে পড়তে লাগলো, আর আমি অজান্তেই ফাঁক ফোকরগুলো রুদ্ধশ্বাসে বন্ধ করতে লাগলাম।
টুকরো টুকরো কাগজগুলো দিয়ে তৈরি করতে লাগলাম কাগজের নৌকা , হয়তো কোনো মহাপুরুষ পাড়ি দেবে দুকূল বন্যায় ভেসে গেলে , বাথরুমের সিঙ্কটি ভরে গেছে পরিপূর্ণ জলে খোলা থাকার ফলে, আমার বয়স তখন নেহাত কম , মা দেখতে পেয়ে তাড়াতাড়ি বন্ধ করে দিয়ে ধমক দিলেন আমাকে , আর নোয়া রাত্রি কে সজোরে ধাক্কা মারলো যাতে তার নৌকা ডুবে যায় অকূল সাগরে।
নীল গভীর সমুদ্রে সুনামি চলছে, বাঁচার আশা নেই কোন আর । ডুবন্ত টায়টনিকের এক কোণায় দাঁড়িয়ে আছি আমি , নির্বাক , স্পন্দ হীন পৃথিবী আমার চারপাশে , আর আমি চলেছি একা সঙ্গী হীন গহন সমুদ্রে। আর বরফের চাঁই গুলো আড়াল করে রাখছে আমাকে ধারালো অস্ত্রের মতো তীক্ষ্ণ তিমির দাঁতগুলো আঘাত থেকে। তবুও বাঁচাতে পারলাম কৈ নোয়াকে ! হয়তো ঈশ্বর জানেন কি পরিনাম তার!
এমনি করেই জীবন্মৃত আমি , সুখের আশায় বুক বেঁধেছি অহর্নিশি , নোয়ার গলায় পড়িয়ে মালা চলেছি আমি একাই নিরুদ্দেশের পথে, রক্ষা তরী নেই কো আমার পাশে, অবশ হয়ে গেছে আমার ডানা , আমার শরীর আমার ভূষণ বরফ দিয়ে ঢাকা, মাগো , আমার মা , আমি বড় ই ক্লান্ত একা ।

These are the words for your renunciation . Crack it and become enriched with its charming love .The wordsrun in plains and sky like a bullet or a Rocket with an aggressive mood to the point and if you’re a true pilot, let go on a eternal voyages..
GREENS ARE NOT SAFE
0h! Trees! Why are you speaking to each other? ” Greens are not safe ” – they answered. A flock of sheep is coming from the field. Some sparrows came sharp and keep flying over the sky like a trembling aeroplane.
Two squirrels challenging each other crossed the yard of the house quickly and embrassing the jackfruit tree. A shoal of fishes – hunting Herons sooping down to have fish for their lunch.
Some of them waiting in despair on the bank of the pond, like the idle native senior folks, not having any hunt , and The pigeons are cooing perhaps for any conspiration. Don’t know for what purose !
The rows of the orange tree gardens are beside the street where oranges are glittering with full of juice heading down to the earth to sacrifice its energy for the mankind , Till not dropped down on the plane , Perhaps they’re waiting for dripping.
The Papaya trees stand there in a same manner. The mango trees still standing at their own place , As if maintaining the silence , unheard of the yellow sounds of Summer.
Indian nightingale, Bau- Katha – Kao playing together And Their round spotted decorative rears making a uniform sounds out of its different sounds , And on the trunks of the trees are kept a full plate of black mashrums , Besides , some refugees are making their rooms for living a peaceful life.
We don’t know why some business man whispering each other! And marking a field with their scale and map. Perhaps this green field gives birth to a big mansions in the future.
All the fields will no longer there. So there remains no rooms to roam and play for the native children and the seniors . Save the green please. Please save the greens for future
Bengali Version:
হারিয়ে যেও না সবুজ
একদল চড়ুই পাখি মেহেন্দির ঝোঁপ থেকে উড়ে গেল আকাশে , প্রারম্ভিক যাত্রা কালে কম্পমান আকাশযানের মতো জড়তা নিয়ে – , দুটো কাঠবিড়ালী একে অপরকে ধেয়ে চলে তড়িৎবেগে ওই প্রাচীন কাঁঠাল গাছের বিশালকার গুঁড়িটার দিকে বিদ্যুৎবেগে, সম্ভবত কিছু খাবারের সন্ধানে । মাছ খেকো বকগুলো বিমর্ষ হয়ে অপেক্ষমান বড় পুকুর পাড়ে একই উদ্দেশ্যে , ঠিক যেন অপেক্ষমান গ্রাম্য বুড়োর দল বন্ধুদের সাহচর্য পাওয়ার আশায় । আর কবুতরের দল নিস্তব্ধতার বুকের উপর যেন হাতুড়ি মেরে সজাগ করে দেয় পরিবেশকে ।
পাহাড়ি রাস্তার দুদিকে সারিবদ্ধ কমলা লেবুর গাছগুলো রাশি রাশি কমলা তার পরিপূর্ণ সুগন্ধি সুবাস নিয়ে বৃন্তকে জড়িয়ে ধরে , ঘাড় উঁচিয়ে মাথা নিচু করে ঝুলে রয়েছে তাদের শরীরের যৌবন উদ্ভাস নিয়ে, এখনও বৃন্ত চ্যুত হয়নি তারা , – হয়তো হবে এমন ভাবনায় অপেক্ষমান
পেঁপে গাছগুলো একই রকম ভাবে পরপর দাঁড়িয়ে । মূক নীরবতা পালন করছে আম গাছগুলো কালের সাক্ষী হয়ে । হয়তো কয়েক পুরুষের সাক্ষী এরা । গ্রীষ্মের হলুদ চাদরে ঢাকা আদিগন্ত, বউ – কথা – কও পাখিরা রঙ বদলের খেলায় মেতেছে, লাল টিপ মোড়া রঙ বাহারি লেজের স্পন্দনে হাজার শব্দের সুর মিলিত হয়ে ঐক্য তান রণিত হচ্ছেl
আর গাছের গুঁড়ির উপর এক প্লেট কালো মাশরুম উঁকি দিচ্ছে , যে রাস্তা দিয়ে সবুজ ফড়িংগুলো ভ্রমণে বেড়িয়েছিল তা তাদের পরশে মখমলের মত নরম পেশমী চাদরের রূপ ধারণ করলো , আমি অবাক বিস্ময়ে হতবাক হয়ে গেলাম । এছাড়া ছড়িয়ে ছিল দুর্মর কঠিন শুকনো বিবর্ণ খসে যাওয়া শামুকের আভরণ , যার উপর দাঁড়িয়ে নিচু স্বরে কথা বলছিল কিছু সন্দিগ্ধ মানুষ ।
বস্তুত , আমি বিশ্বাস রাখতেই পারি ওই কাকগুলো কিম্বা চতুর ইঁদুর গুলোর উপর , কেননা লোভী মানুষ মাপজোক করছে সবুজের এ প্রান্ত থেকে ও প্রান্ত ব্লু প্রিন্টের উপর চোখ রেখে ।।
