Preface A project bordering on the impossible, one that was worked on sporadically over a very long time is at long last ready to awaken to its life in print. When I decided in the 1980s that Bengal's priceless literature ought to be given its rightful place in the world of letters in order for readers outside the Bengali language to have access to it, and that even a practitioner of engineering and science might summon the courage and commitment to offer his labors to it, I was most apprehensive about taking on what to me was the most sacred treasure in that domain - the lyrical songs of Rabindranath Tagore known to all beholden Bengalis collectively as Rabindra Sangeet.

    Vol. 1. Issue 2. April – June, 2020 During the second quarter of 2020 Autism Society West Bengal (ASWB) embarked on a new journey. Nationwide Lockdown had been announced from 25th March, 2020. As the Life that all of us knew came to a grinding standstill we were faced with the challenge of dealing with this sudden, unprecedented change in our lives. Autism Society West Bengal is a parent initiated non-profit organization in Kolkata that champions the right of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to participation in areas of education, employment, and social events. It is known that most individuals with autism have difficulties adapting to change. This change was huge so new strategies had to be envisaged and implemented. In this newsletter we share a brief account our new journey. Someone once said change is the only constant. Special educators of ASWB were trying to adapt to the changes that lockdown had brought into our lives. ASWB started online classes for all students of the Dikshan & Aarohan units in early April, 2020. Teachers, students, office staff, parents all adapted themselves with the technology available. Our students, for whom any change is quite stressful, have shown us they can cope up with reasonable accommodations. On 2nd April, 2020, World Autism Physical distancing in the times of Corona could not dampen Awareness Day (WAAD) was the spirit of the YAAR (Young Adults with Autism Reach celebrated differently. Students out) participants. The 1st online YAAR held on 2nd May, 2020 made posters which were posted in was a great success. It paved the way for more online events.

  • Kazi Nazrul Islam - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Kazi Nazrul Islam - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Kazi Nazrul Islam(24 May 1899 - 29 August 1976) Kazi Nazrul Islam was a Bengali poet, musician and revolutionary who pioneered poetic works espousing intense spiritual rebellion against fascism and oppression. His poetry and nationalist activism earned him the popular title of Bidrohi Kobi (Rebel Poet). Accomplishing a large body of acclaimed works through his life, Nazrul is officially recognised as the national poet of Bangladesh and commemorated in India. Born into a Muslim quazi (justice) family in India, Nazrul received religious education and worked as a muezzin at a local mosque. He learned of poetry, drama, and literature while working with theatrical groups. After serving in the British Indian Army, Nazrul established himself as a journalist in Kolkata (then Calcutta). He assailed the British Raj in India and preached revolution through his poetic works, such as 'Bidrohi' ('The Rebel') and 'Bhangar Gaan' ('The Song of Destruction'), as well as his publication 'Dhumketu' ('The Comet'). His impassioned activism in the Indian independence movement often led to his imprisonment by British authorities. While in prison, Nazrul wrote the 'Rajbandir Jabanbandi' ('Deposition of a Political Prisoner'). Exploring the life and conditions of the downtrodden masses of India, Nazrul worked for their emancipation. Nazrul's writings explore themes such as love, freedom, and revolution; he opposed all bigotry, including religious and gender. Throughout his career, Nazrul wrote short stories, novels, and essays but is best-known for his poems, in which he pioneered new forms such as Bengali ghazals.

  • About Kazi Nazrul Islam (1899-1976)
    ABOUT KAZI NAZRUL ISLAM (1899-1976) Kazi Nazrul Islam was a poet of love, humanity and rebellion. The genius Nazrul left the imprints of his talent both on music and literature equally. His versatility was outstanding – he was a poet, short-story writer, novelist, essayist, play writer, dramatist, singer, musician, lyricist, composer, director, actor, activist, journalist, editor, soldier, humanist and a philosopher. He was born on 25th May, 1899 at Churulia of Burdwan in West Bengal, India and dies in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on August 29, 1976, at the age of 77. THE BOY NAZRUL Following the unexpected death of his father, the nine years old Nazrul had to shoulder the responsibility of his mother, younger sister and brothers. He was nicknamed “Dhukhu Miah” (The grief-stricken boy) by the village people for his battling poverty in the childhood. At the age of ten Nazrul wrote many lyrics and poems for the plays of a moving theatrical group (Leto) he worked for. He learned a lot of Bengali and Sanskrit literature and Hindu scriptures when he was at that age. During that time he composed a number of folk plays for his theatrical group. In the year 1911 he left the group and took admission in a high school in a town near his village. Being unable to pay school’s tuition fees he frequently quit schools and enrolled again. But he continued his schooling up to class X (the final year of the school) through extreme hardship. THE SOLDIER NAZRUL Instead of preparing himself for the Pre-Test to qualify for the final Entrance Examination in the school, he joined the 49th Bengal Regiment under the British Army in India in December, 1917.

  • Musical Diversity in Kazi Nazrul Islam's Song Mehfuj Al Fahad Lecturer, Department of Music, University of Dhaka
    International Centre for Bengali Music AvšÍR©vwZK evsjv m½xZ †K›`ª Musical diversity in Kazi Nazrul Islam's Song Mehfuj Al Fahad Lecturer, Department of Music, University of Dhaka Abstract If we analyze the history of world music we can see that one person owns the crown of the arts, culture and music of a certain region in a certain time frame. This is where the genre of Bengali music is different from others. In the genre of Bengali music we must mention the names of ‘Five Lyrical Poet’ as our crown king. They are- Rabindranath Tagore, Dwijendralal Roy, Atul Prasad, Rajanikanta Sen and Kazi Nazrul Islam. This is the uniqueness of Bengali music. When Rabindranath along with the other musical writers have been dominating the thousand year old ancient Bengali songs that is when the emergence of Kazi Nazrul Islam took place. Although he stayed with the ‘Leto’ team from childhood, his musical intellects came out from 1920 to 1942 in these 22 years. In this short span of time he made coalescence of the tunes with the lyrics by enriching the emphasis of lyrics in Bengali music, which is its main characteristics. Sometimes he took grasp of the tunes and created lyrics based on that. On the other hand sometimes he created the lyrics and gave tunes to it. Tunes, lyrics, songs and Nazrul are one and inseparable. The intellect of Nazrul mainly orbits around music. In terms of writing music, his writings were beyond any boundary. These were not result of any kind of forced imagination, rather he wrote songs one after another, spontaneously, and added variety of tunes to them.
