आप हमारा गला भले काट दो,सर कलम कर दो लब आजाद रहेंगे! क्योंकि हिटलर के राजकाज में भी जर्मनी के संस्कृतिकर्मी भी प्रतिरोध के मोर्चे पर लामबंद सर कटवाने को तैयार थे।जो भी सर कटवाने को हमारे कारवां में शामिल होने को तैयार हैं,अपने मोर्चे पर उनका स्वागत है।स्वागत है।

Why do I quote Nabarun Bhattacharya so often?
এই মৃত্যু উপত্যকা আমার দেশ নয়!
এই মৃত্যু উপত্যকা আমার দেশ নয়!Nabarun Da declared it in seventies!

Bengal has no courage to raise voice against the fascist racist HIT LIST or the governance of Fascism,I am afraid to speak out.Rest of India follows Nabarunda in creativity as creativity is all about the acts activated to sustain humanity and nature.Reactionaries have taken over the world and Bengal remains the colony!
