Mamata sought RSS's help to defeat Left in West Bengal By : INVC Team Published On : 6 Oct, 2018 12:00 AM IST INVC NEWS Kolkata, Mamata Banerjee is the greatest invention of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Communist Party of India (Marxist)'s leader Mohammed Salim said today as he, along with BJP MP Roopa Ganguly, launched a strident attack on the TMC-led West Bengal government. Mamata asked the RSS to lend her support in order to oust the Left parties in West Bengal, Salim said as a justiﬁcation for his allegation. Salim was speaking at the India Today Conclave East 2018 where he was part of a debate titled 'Bengal Tiger and 2019: Will it Roar'. Bharatiya Janata Party MP Roopa Ganguly was also part of the session. Most of the session was focussed on the Mamata Banerjee government, with Salim and Ganguly diﬀering on only one aspect -- that of whether the BJP was responsible for polarising West Bengal on religious lines. Mohammed Salim felt that the BJP indeed was to blame for politicising religion while Roopa Ganguly, expectedly, said it did not. The topic of religious polarisation featured both Salim and Ganguly talk about religious procession being taken out on the streets of Bengal and the role they played in fanning communal violence. "Bengal has always seen religious processions. But the polarisation has started under Mamata Banerjee's rule. She is responsible for law and order problems in the state," Roopa Ganguly said. Mohammed Salim agreed that politicisation of religion had happened under Mamata but added that PM Narendra Modi too was to blame. "Politicisation of religion happened after Modi and Mamata came to power," he said. Roopa Ganguly also criticised Mamata Banerjee for "harming West Bengal to the core" and said that under her chief ministership democracy has been destroyed in the state.

Masculinity and Transnational Hindu Identity
Nidān, Volume 3, No. 2, December 2018, pp. 18-39 ISSN 2414-8636 Muscular Mahabharatas: Masculinity and Transnational Hindu Identity Sucheta Kanjilal University of Tampa [email protected] "Hence it is called Bharata. And because of its grave import, as also of the Bharatas being its topic, it is called Mahabharata. He who is versed in interpretations of this great treatise, becomes cleansed of every sin. Such a man lives in righteousness, wealth, and pleasure, and attains to Emancipation.” - Mahābhārata (18.5) translation by K. M. Ganguli Abstract The climax of the Sanskrit Mahābhārata is undeniably muscular, since it involves a kṣatriya family fighting a brutal but righteous war. Many 21st century Mahabharata adaptations not only emphasize the muscularity of the epic, but also flex these muscles in an arena beyond the Kurukṣetra battlefield: the world. Through an analysis of texts such as Chindu Sreedharan’s Epic Retold (2015) and Prem Panicker’s Bhimsen (2009), I suggest that the increased visibility of epic warrior narratives across global platforms indicates a desire to re-fashion a hypermasculine identity for Hindus in the transnational religio-political sphere. I see this as an attempt to distance Hinduism from Gandhi’s ‘passive resistance’ and colonial conceptions of the ‘effeminate native’. Instead, it aligns with the nationalist and global aims of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who emphasizes the importance of Hindu traditions and physical fitness for collective prosperity. While these new epic adaptations certainly broaden the reach of Hindu culture beyond national boundaries, I suggest exhuming only warrior narratives from the epic texts oversimplifies Hindu values and threatens a range of gender identities and religious affiliations.

Who Stole the Nobel? Page 1 of 2 the Telegraph 7/27/2011
The Telegraph Page 1 of 2 Issue Date: Saturday , February 26 , 2011 Who stole the nobel? Suman Ghosh gears up for a satirical thriller on the nobel theft Come March and Suman Ghosh will start to steer his third film Nobel Chor, a satirical look at Tagore’s stolen medal, with Mithun in the title role. A t2 chat with the Miami-based economist-turned-director about the urban-rural divide and more... When and where do you begin Nobel Chor? The theft of the Nobel happened in Santiniketan and our protagonist Bhanu, played by Mithunda, is based in Bolpur. We went to Bolpur twice, saw a lot of places. Given the story, I wanted everything to have that feel, his house to have a certain structure, and ultimately identified a hut that belongs to someone else where we will shoot. Sudipta Chakraborty We have a lot of outdoor all over Calcutta and that’s a huge tension because of the logistics and permissions involved in filming at Gorky Sadan, Dharamtala, south Calcutta.... It’s Calcutta in 2004 because that’s when the theft happened. The character roughly remains the same but I have to be careful not to bring in the new malls and flyovers. It’s not about capturing the city but to bring out the stark contrast with a village in the interiors. How Bhanu is almost like fish out of water when he comes to Calcutta. There were some changes in the final casting… The film is entirely centred around Mithun Chakraborty. I try to keep track of actors but when I’m in Calcutta I don’t get time to watch too many television serials.

SYNOPSIS of DEBATE ______(Proceedings Other Than Questions and Answers) ______Thursday, August 10, 2017/ Shravana 19, 1939 (Saka)
RAJYA SABHA _______ SYNOPSIS OF DEBATE _______ (Proceedings other than Questions and Answers) _______ Thursday, August 10, 2017/ Shravana 19, 1939 (Saka) _______ FAREWELL TO THE HON'BLE CHAIRMAN THE LEADER OF THE HOUSE (SHRI ARUN JAITLEY): Ten years is indeed, a very long association. Before becoming the Chairperson of this House as the Vice-President of India, you had experience in various fields of public life. You had been a very distinguished diplomat; you had chaired important commissions, committees and universities but dealing with political fraternity was a different experience altogether. The Chairperson's job is very challenging in this House for the reason that this House, now has a changed character. Things start with a lot of acrimonious debate but nothing remains indefinitely held up. The Chair does play a role, which eventually does force the consensus. Chairman’s job is a mixed job because you take the good with the not so good. Your tenure might have seen disturbances but also very high quality of debates on several occasions. I am sure we will all relish those debates and you will carry with you memories of those debates. Your tenure had many interesting anecdotes. I am sure, you retire from this House with great memories. We all recollect the sage advice that you kept giving to us and through us, to the country from time to time. We will always have memories of you as the Chair and how you lent dignity to the quality ___________________________________________________ This Synopsis is not an authoritative record of the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha.
