Pratpaditya Utsav starts afresh

Gap of century fails to be any hindrance

Pratpaditya Utsav, under the aegis of Atmabikash Samiti – a nationalist youth organization meant to impart physical, mental and spiritual attributes through abiding by conformist Hindu disciplines – was held on May 6, 2012, in Kolkata, to idolize gallantry of Maharaja Pratapaditya in public, unearth the lost martial traditions of Bengali Hindus and make youths valorous to get active and serve the nation better. The meeting was attended by an assortment of dignitaries from different walks of life. 

It is worthwhile to mention Pratpaditya Utsav that started in 1903 by Smt. Sarala Devi Chowdhurani, niece of Sri Rabindranath Tagore, to venerate valor of Maharaja (monarch) Pratapaditya in public made a profound impact on contemporary political scenario, especially the then rising revolutionary movement in Bengal. However, the celebration ended soon owing to several developments.

The convention was inaugurated by sacred Vedic chants of Sri Animitra Chakraborty followed by adoration of Sacred Swords by all. A succinct description of the life of Maharaja Pratapaditya, his love for the motherland and struggles for its sovereignty was narrated by Sri Kalyan Sarkar. 

The description was followed by the substantial address on two different topics – Significance of Pratpaditya Utsav in modern times and Role of Pratpaditya Utsav in the revolutionary movement in Bengal – by Sri Upananda Brahmachari and Sri Sujoy Chatterjee respectively.

Sri Animitra Chakraborty was also witnessed to speak on different occasions; however, his thrust was the need to lionize Pratpaditya Utsav by Bengali Hindus more than ever before and the crisis that may befall to them in its absence.

In a word, Pratpaditya Utsav, after a gap of more than a century, has been revived to inculcate martial spirit among Bengali Hindus (these days) so that they can follow footsteps of their valiant ancestors and ameliorate the entire nation.

The convention ended thanking all to partake in it and announcing formation of Pratpaditya Utsav Committee with Sri Arabinda Patra as its president.

Remembering Dhantala gang-rape of Hindu women ----10 years Later........

Image
When Hindu persecution is rampant in Bangladesh now, a question haunts whether the Indian state of Bengal is free of all these. Myriad incidents manifested do authenticate that Hindu persecution in this side of the border is on the rise too and at this hour, the Hindu persecution in Dhantala, Nadia in 2003 that rocked the state’s political and social arena then deserve special mention. On February 5, 2003, two buses containing large number of Hindu women and returning from a marriage festival were blocked by Muslim radicals at village: Aismali, Dhantala, District: Nadia. Hindu women were taken to nearby Dhantala Madrasa forcibly and were gang-raped mercilessly by the same perpetrators. The gruesome incident continued for hours while Hindu men and women tried their best to raise alarms.  However, the police station (P.S. Dhantala), close at hand, preferred to remain silent. Even the endeavors made by tortured Hindus to lodge FIR against the ghastly incident were snubbed....

Communal Clash in Kolkata Area (May 9)

Image
A Serious Communal Clash took place on 9th May 2016 night in Kolkata at Dakshin Dari area near Bidhan Nagar.  Mosque loudspeakers were used to mobilise the religious Muslim mob.  Police force was attacked.  Three police vehicles were torched.  Influential local TMC MLA Sujit Bose was severely injured, now in the hospital.  In late night a very big contingent of police/RAF took control of the area. But no arrest till now.  Hindus in the geographic are scared. The dispute was started between two groups of 'syndicates'. But quickly it turned into a communal institute. As usual Kolkata and the biased media ‪ look other way.  MSM suppressed the report. Only 'Dainik Jugasankha'  ( http://www.dainikjugasankha.in) had the guts to report it. ============================= Hindu Samhati Global Media Email : media@hindusamhati.com Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/hindu.samhati.global.media Twitter : @HinduGlobe Websites www.h...
