  • Speech of Mamata Banerjee Introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25Th February 2011
    Speech of Mamata Banerjee introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25th February 2011 1. Madam Speaker, I rise to present before this august House the Revised Estimates for 2010-11 and the estimated receipts and expenditure for 2011-12. I deem it an honour to present the third Railway Budget under the kind guidance of the hon'ble Prime Minister. I profusely thank the Finance Minster for his continued support and encouragement to the railways. 2. As the hon’ble members are aware, the wheels of the railways continue to move 24 hours, all 365 days. Railway’s services are comparable to emergency services, required all the time. I am proud of the 14 lakh members of my railway family, who toil day and night with unparalleled dedication. I am also grateful to all passengers without whose cooperation and consideration, we could not have run this vast system. I have also received unstinted support from our two recognised federations and staff and officers’ associations. 3. Madam, rail transportation is vitally interlinked with the economic development of the country. With the economy slated to grow at a rate of 8-9%, it is imperative that the railways grow at an even faster pace. I see the railways as an artery of this pulsating nation. Our lines touch the lives of humble people in tiny villages, as they touch the lives of those in the bustling metropolises. 4. We are taking a two-pronged approach, scripted on the one hand, by a sustainable, efficient and rapidly growing Indian Railways, and on the other, by an acute sense of social responsibility towards the common people of this nation.

Anantalal was one of the later disciples of Ram Shankar Bhattacharya, who is regarded by many as the founder of this Gharana. That Ram Shankar was a great musician there is no doubt. Quite a number of his disciples became famous in course of time. One was Kshetramohan Goswami whose books were eagerly studied by Pandit Bhatkhande, and who guided Raja Shourindra Mohan Tagore in his innumerable publica­ tions. Another was the famous Jadu Bhatta who took his early lessons from Ram Shankar. A third was Anantalal, the father of Gopeshwar Babu. Ram Shankar's anniversary is still regularly celebrated at Vishnupur. But it is difficult to determine from whom Ram Shankar had his training in music. One story that has gained some ground is that the real founder of the Vishnupur Gharana was Gadadhar Chakravarti who was Anantalal Banerjee's grandfather on the maternal side. This Gadadhar is said to be the first and chief disciple of Bahadur Shah or Bahadur Khan, a descendant of Tansen. King Raghunath II is said to have brought him to Vishnupur for the propagation of music in the State. Previously the rulers of Vishnupur were worshippers of Sakti but the Vaishnava trend of art and culture came to influence Vishnupur more and more, as it spread all over Bengal since the time of Sree Sree Chaitannya Mahaprabhu, particularly from the time of King Hambir (Bir Hambir) who became a disciple of Sreenivas Acharya.
