On the occasion of the closing of the 150th birth anniversary celebration of Rabindranath Tagore and the inaugural of his 151st birth anniversary celebration, Bangla Academy organised a two-day discussion and cultural programme. The event was inaugurated on May 7.
Shamsuzzaman Khan, director general of Bangla Academy, delivered the welcome speech. MM Akash, Professor of Economics, Dhaka University, read out an essay on “Rabindra Biswabikkha O Bortoman Biswa”. Author and music enthusiast Abdus Shakoor and Professor Farzana Siddiqua were present as discussants. Tagore exponent and one of the founders of Chhayanaut, Dr. Sanjida Khatun, presided over the programme.
Eminent Tagore exponent and former Vice Chancellor (VC) of Rabindra Bharati University, Dr. Pabitra Sarkar; Justice Tofazzal Hossain; historian Syed Anwar Hossain; Professor Zaheda Ahmed; Professor AN Rasheda and poet Rabindra Gope attended the programme.
Shamsuzzaman Khan said, “It is much appreciable that Bangladesh and India have jointly organised Tagore's birth anniversary. Tagore's creations emphasise on elimination of poverty and conflicts from our society.
“Tagore’s poetry has the strength to overcome sorrow. His works will remain an inspiration for the present and future generations. He showed us how to transform sorrow into strength."
MM Akash said, “Tagore believed in a world of amity and dreamt of a society where there was no place for any malice and cruelty. Humanity is the main aspect of all of his creations.”
Abdus Shakoor said, "His main focus was to build a bridge between different communities and nations. He never believed in any kind boundaries. He believed in internationalism."
Dr. Sanjida Khatun said, "Tagore was always rooted to his homeland and its people.
He is also a poet of the world. His literary works not only highlight nationalism, but also delve deep into internationalism." After the discussion, elocutionist Bhaswar Banerjee recited a poem. Noted Tagore singers Iffat Ara Dewan, Bulbul Islam, Shama Rahman and Nargis Rahman rendered songs.
