BAISHEY SRAVAN IN KOLKATA: : ( India)

"SINGING in the rain, Didi leads march for Tagore" - The TIimes of India, Kolkata, Tuesday,august 9 , 2011; P -3

On 7oth death Anniversary ( Baishey Sravan) in Kolkata, the domiciled place of Rabindranath's Ancestors.[ Tagore Family migrated from Jessore of pre-partition-East Bengal , now -Bangla Desh].
It seems for West Bengal,(West -Bengal:- a handicapped title-name since 1947) Panchishey Baisakh and Baishey sravan are the only two 'darling dates 'of high-pitch Festivity and more important than the life of the BARD himself, I think.
I stiil remember the day in 1960s(my own experience ) when on occassion of Rabindra Centinary in a local 'centinary Festival', the invited 'President '( of course a poitical figure ) brought out a book , (out of his bag) 'Sanchita' of Nazrul to recite a Tagore poem , until and soon some one pointed out that Tagore book was named "SANCHAYITA" - not 'Sanchita'.

Any way, Vidaya sagar , Jagagich Bose, Rammohan , P.c Roy , Satyen Bose ; all have lost their chances of being remembered and honoured on their BIRTH DAYS (leave apart their Death -Anniversary), because they were not smart enough to write some very popular songs nor had the very rare great luck of winning NOBEL PRIZE..[The retorts and revulsions of the poet himself are recorded facts , (untill Nobel prize was declared in his name }
About Vidya Sagar, rabindranath himself wrote that great man like him is born in a country ONCE in 500 years. But he did not write any 'SAGAR-SONGs' and we all know that. Yet only a Nobel Prize could have made him 'IMMORTAL' ! . But how sad for the posterity !
Even if WEST BENGAL forgets to change the 'Distorted Name ',I shall feel so happy if the new chief Minister can introduce "JEEVAN SMRITI" and SELECTED LECTURES OF Swami Vivekananda in & from Middle-School -Level and onwards.
And finally Rabindranath should be more read than celebrated.. Many of his songs are better poetry than music.
And ,I think, SATYEN BOSE Is now more known and famous on GLOBAL Scale ( W-,Boson Z-Boson & Hiiggs Boson-of Quantum Science & Cosmology) than even Rabindranath. And one should first read his Bengali-writings before negeting me in any way .
