RABINDRANATH and WEST BENGAL

"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,( a handicapped title-name since 1947) Panchishey Baisakh and Baishey sravan are the only two 'darling dates' of high-pitch Festival-time and more important than even the life-time-works of the BARD .
I stiil remember the day in 1960s(my own experience ) when on occassion of Rabindra Centinary at a local 'centinary Festival', the invited President ( of course a poitical figure ) brought out a book 'Sanchita' of Nazrul, to recite a Tagore poem , until and soon some one pointed out that Tagore's book was named SANCHAYITA" - not 'Sanchit'a.

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 nt smart enough to write some very popular songs; nor had the rare great luck of winning NOBEL PRIZE..[The retorts and revulsions of 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 on 500 years.
But he did not write any 'SAGR-SONGs ' and we all know that. Yet only a Nobel Prize could have made him IMMORTAl' ! but how sad for the posterity !
And even if, WEST BENGAL forgets to change the 'Distorted Name [Some even mis-spells it as Waste Bengal] ',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 MUSUC.
And I think, SATYEN BOSE is now more known and famous on GLOBAL Scale ( W-,Boson Z-Boson0 & Hiiggs Boson-of Quantum Science & Cosmology) than Rabindranath. And one should first read his Bengali-writings before negeting me to any degree .
