In the essay that Modi quoted from in Kolkata, Rabindranath Tagore also wrote about India’s unity in diversity, its inclusive civilisation and the responsibility to maintain it.
Another way of looking at it is that many of these dignitaries were spared witnessing the violence when their dreams of an independent India became a reality in 1947.
Even 78 years after his death, Rabindranath Tagore remains much like a God for Bengalis. Several of the poet-playwright's works still need to be adequately explored.
Ventures by Japan, South Korea and Taiwan illustrate how the race for REE security is accelerating, powered by both geopolitical tension and industrial strategy.
ThePrint had previously reported that India & Russia are talking about 5 more regiments of the S-400, but no contracts are to be signed during the Russian president's visit.
The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
Instances of patricide or fratricide didn’t come from outside. It happened in all cultures. It was part of the game of thrones. Tagore should have remembered Ajatashatru who killed his father and his own drama Bisharjan .
Of course in India or elsewhere fratricide was not legalised or organised like early ottoman Turks. Legend is Ashoka killed 99 of his brothers .
He did! There is an entire poem about it!!!
“Ajatshotru raja holo jobe pitar ashone ashi, pitar dhormo shoniter srote, muchia phelilo raj puri hote, shopilo jaggo onolo-aloke boudho shastro rashi. kohila dakia ajatoshotru raj-puronari shobe, bedo-brahman-raja chara aar, kichu nahi robe puja koribar, eikoti kotha jeno mone shaar, nohile bipod hobe. … stupe je koribe argho rachona, shuler upor moribe se jona noyba nirbashone” thanks for making me recall it to my mind!
How dare Modi try to appropriate Tagore? For Gurudev, patriotism was inseparable from egalitarianism and humanism trumped nationalism any day and if Modi truly reads Tagore, there is no way he can maintain his hindutva stand. Bengal has a proud history of humanism that can be traced back to Chandidas, a 14th centuri Vaishnav poet whose “Shobar upor manush shotto tahar upore nai” (“Above all is humanity, none else”) was internalized by generations of bengalis including Rabindranath.
What country are most of Europe’s illegal migrants coming from? You might think Syria or some other war-torn nation. You would be wrong. According to the International Organisation for Migration, the top “sending” country is a democracy that claims to have made strides in human development: Bangladesh. The Washington Post
Many western countries, and Middles east countries including Indonesia and Malaysia, keeps a tight register who gets in and out of their countries. Indonesia and Arab countries, and I feel Malaysia as well, employers keeps the passport of their employees all the time they are employed. This way they keep a tab on the people from abroad. Why should India be any different?
