Ulanga Raja

“Ekbar Matir dike takao,ekbar Manusher dike” Once you see towards the soil and then to the people. It was written by great poet Birendra Chattopadhyay. The kind of politics originated in India in last ten years only revolves around soil. While the population increasing, necessities and priorities changing in India. So Endeavor for industrialization was imminent. But the leaders who took initiatives opposition reminded them the above line. It started in Andhra Pradesh.Mr.Chandrababu Naidu changed the entire industrial Map of the state. Vishakhapattanam got a flurry of business, so go Hyderabad. The kind of change these two cities got is unimaginable, like a fairy tale. But there was a leader called YSR, Who reminded people that CM is looking towards your soil only, not towards you.. So Naidu lost and new style of politics born in India. But he gave enthusiasm to many rulers afterwards. When one started new initiative opposition pulled up their socks. Only exception was Gujrat, where industrial lands distributed with direct negotiation with owners & industrialist with unexpected pace.

For 30 years there was no initiative of industrialization in Bengal, but when took initiative government lost power. In Maharashtra & Haryana one party is taking land forcibly, where as same party is protesting for land acquisition in UP. Most sad part is responsible leaders taking irresponsible claim on lives of people. All political leaders have right to protest. If their protest makes people to get livelihood it is always welcome. But once you start politics with death it only reflects ill intention & betrayal to the progress of nation. Is it ever possible 74 people are being killed and burnt alive and the leader sitting just beside the spot demonstration. If there were 4 burnt bodies present the stink makes unbearable to be present there. But the prince is telling 74? Could he make a list of 74 missing persons from the village?  It only gives a reflection of dirty political culture we are indulging. Poet Biren Chatterji said,”Mati to aguner moto hobei,jodi tumi fashal falate na jano”(If you do not know how to harvest you soil will be like fire). Family of the same prince representing Raiberilly for generations and remained in the center of power mostly. Raiberilly is a place Where Poverty is 50%, NeoNatal deaths 8.3%, PerCapita expenditure Rs.385 & only 14% have electricity. “Ulanga Raja”(Naked king) always chose to play with plight of the poor men. When opportunity comes they try to ignite soil. There was an “Ulnga Raja” in West Bengal. His name was Jyoti Basu. He represented Satgachia as long he was Chief Minister. But condition of his constituency was the worst in West Bengal. When he understood people of his constituency are furious he left politics and last two election his party is losing from there miserably.  These Rajas remind me poet Niren Chakraborty,”Shobai dekhche Raja Ulanga,tabuo shobai Hattali dichche.Shobai chechie bolche Shabash Shabash”(Every body is seeing King is naked but clapping and Shouting with appreciation).

Now this is the time of New Raja in West Bengal. But the indications reflects that this Raja will be worse than anybody else.Now the time has come in West Bengal when every person will be judged by the color of shirt he is wearing. Is there any better person than Mr.Nirendra Chakrabory to head Bangla Academy?But he is leaving.Most likely Joy Goswami who is Mamatas good book will take over.It is not required to see whether one is capable or not but the color of shirt is important. Bratya Basuor Saoli Mitra  will surely take over Natya Academy from Mr.Ashoke Mukherji. Dr.Pabitra Sarkar has left as well.Once the Bengal was known for educated people,but not any more.Now they are known for whether he is having mobile number of particular leaders. Chief of Secondary education has left as well.So we are punishing our kids as well.New chief will ensure more Gandhan(including new Gandhis as well) article feature in course. Again after five years they will be removed. Raja(read Rani) has not taken oath but suddenly police finding huge arms from all over Bengal.It only showing that how Bengal is living on the mountains of amunitions. I am only getting “Batashe Baruder Gandha”(smell of phosphorus in air). After the arrest of their top commandant from Sarsuna in South Kolkata Home ministry  says now Maoists has taken shelter in Kolkata itself.  So no wonder Managing director of SPS group is getting threat call to leave Bengal. One by one Lux and other companies will be targetted in natural course,so we are ensuring a black period again. We are ensuring more & more jobless persons in Bengal which will create chaos. Bengal is deep in mud.We have forgotten respect soil first than party. But it reminds me a line from Ulanga Raja again,

“Shudhui prroshosti bakyo uchcharok kichu

apadmostok bhitu,fandibaj athoba nirbodh

stabak chilo na

ekti shishuo chilo

satyabadi,saral shahashi ekti shishu”

(There is not only opportunist,coward & plotter in the crowd,there is a as well  who is honest,simple,brave child who can see the truth”)

I am sure all these children will come out to expose “Ulanga Raja”s
