Great personalities
Throughout the country, Tagore's 150th birth anniversary is being observed with great enthusiasm. He is the creator of many masterpieces of literature. I revere him for his immortal songs and short stories, especially Chuti, Shasti and Kabuliwala. In Chuti, he portrayed the life and tragedy of a restless teenager named Phatik. In Shasti, he raised his voice against the negative effect of feudalism and in Kabuliwala, he depicted fatherhood.
The same thing can be seen in case of Nazrul and Saratchandra too. They all have become are our national icons. They have a permanent place in the hearts of the non-Bengali readers too. They have tremendous influence upon our daily life. Their mistakes too teach us a lesson. Their contribution made our language richer.
There are many people among us who recite Tagore's and Nazrul's poems, sing their songs and read their novels. Here and there, many competitions are being held. But could we really accept them from the core of our hearts? Why can't we love every section of people around us?
