The vote of thought (Part 3) - We were not about told these before the 'change'!

Its a week, that a political change took place in West Bengal! From today we will have our new chief minister and her cabinet too! We all (most of us) are hoping for a brighter and better tomorrow! We will see that later and hope someday i will write about the goods and bads about this ministry! But for now i will like to highlight on things that are happening against what we were told by the oppositions before the elections i.e. 'badla nay badol chai'  or 'we don't want revenge, we want change'!

Within a week, several CPI(M) people have been beaten up and many others are death struck with fright! So many families cannot return to their houses! This was not what we were told! What i felt really bad seeing today's newspaper, is that a very elderly CPI(M) leader of  Ghatal, Seikh Israel has been beaten up badly by TMC(Trinamool Congress) supporters! Israel is very old and is a cancer patient, he even has heart disease and beating up such a person is what comes under the 'change' category? I do not think so! I cannot blame Mamata as i never blamed Buddhadeb for these because it is not possible for any chief minister to look into every small thing happening here and there! However, these are the small things which make big impression on us and finally at the vote-banks!

We are getting news of INC(Indian National Congress) supporters beating up and killing Communist supporters! Some are even being provoked to commit suicide! This was not what we were told before elections!


Then what was the change for?? i do not know!! Hope in the coming days things will really 'change' for the good! Although i am not very sure if it will, but we can always keep hope because five years are ahead! As i have told before i will tell it again, the change cannot come in colours, it has to come from within us! The same people are changing colours and carrying out the same danga everywhere, whats the use of it?

Let's sing the song of equality Nothing is greater than human, nor important. No difference in country-time-person, same for all religion, In countries, times, and houses they are relatives. Devotee, open the door, God of hunger is standing at the door, time for devotion. Seeing the dream, eager devotee opened a temple, Surely he will be a king today by the blessing of God. In tattered clothes, lean and thin body, voice is low for hunger Said the traveler, "Sir, open the door, I am starving for seven days."

At this moment a traveler came wearing tattered clothes, Said, "Sir, I am starving for seven days" The priest shouted with annoyance, "Wh

The legacy of a poet - Kazi Nazrul Islam, the prophet of tolerance

Image
Kazi Nazrul Islam's works have been acclaimed as well as criticized for egoism, but his admirers who supported him throughout his life, considered this as self-confidence more than ego. They said that he had the ability to defy God and yet be devoted. Was a Bengali poet, writer, musician, revolutionary and philosopher who is best known for pioneering works in Bengali expressing fierce rebellion against society, tradition, politics, injustice, intolerance and oppression. Popularly known as the Bidrohi Kobi – Rebel Poet – he is widely popular and revered in India and commemorated as the "national poet" of Bangladesh. Nazrul lacked any formal training as a journalist or artist, and appears to have built  his artistic experience through his participation in folk musical troupes in his youth.  After two years of high school, Nazrul joined the army of the British colonial government. Stationed in Karachi during World War One, as part of the Bengal regiment,  he ros
