RE:Sad Bengal
by Ramil Mukherjee on Oct 31, 2007 11:30 AM

What a self contradictory piece of observation!

A race( not nation?) with no real men out of seven crores , yet they constituted a bright articulate and intelligent Race!

To confuse Non Bengalee readers by misquoting Tagore only reveals a sense of survility!

When Tagore approached every Powerful Congress leaders( including Neheru, Lala Lajpat Ray besides the then stalwarts in Bengal) to stand in unison protest against Jalianwalabagh massacre , his appeal fell into deaf ears - he ultimately decided to rise to the occasin and threw off his Nighthood to make the nation aware! His lamentation in the quoted lines came out of his pen at that moment.

And let me assume deepak has read Tagores " Letters from Russia" - if Tagore at all expressed his annoyance in the said quotqtion , it was certainly not directed towards communists!

another confusion! Does the fact that Singers finding refuge in Bollywood speaks of cultural degeneracy of a race!
