On the Birthday of the Mahanayak, Remember Another Dark Chapter of the Communists:

Today is the birthday of Mahanayak Uttam Kumar. He was not just a great actor in the history of Bengali cinema; he was an inseparable part of Bengali emotions, pride and culture. His acting made him immortal, but as a human being too, he was an extraordinary person.

He stood by many artists and technicians in their difficult times. He helped people in need without hesitation. Yet even a person like him was not spared from the politics and dominance of the Left at that time.

As the influence of the Left grew within the film artists' organisation, Actors' Association, a campaign was launched to defame Uttam Kumar. Posters calling him a "thief" were even put up outside his house on Moira Street. A man who stayed away from active politics was also targeted and politically humiliated.

It was after these experiences that Uttam Kumar formed Shilpi Sansad. Its purpose was to help poor and helpless artists and technicians of Bengal. He remained the president of the organisation until his death. This itself shows that Uttam Kumar was not only great on screen --he was an extraordinary human being as well.

But the disrespect shown towards him did not end during his lifetime.

On 24 July 1980, Bengal was shocked by the sudden death of Mahanayak Uttam Kumar. The streets of Kolkata were filled with an ocean of people. Millions of admirers wanted to pay their last respects to their beloved Mahanayak.

Despite the demand to keep his body at Rabindra Sadan so that ordinary people could pay their final respects, permission was not given by the then Left Front government. In the end, his body was kept at Purna Cinema Hall.

The role of the then CPI(M) leadership in this incident has also been discussed by various writers and researchers. Professor and writer Sayandeb Chowdhury of Ambedkar University Delhi has written about the role of Pramode Dasgupta, raising questions that are still remembered today.

On the birthday of the Mahanayak, those questions come back to mind.

Should an artist's political identity, or whether he is close to a particular political party, decide the respect he deserves? Should the love of millions of people for a man be judged through the lens of political ideology?

Uttam Kumar is no longer with us, but the love Bengalis have for him remains. Attempts to belittle him, insult him or deny his popularity for political reasons could never remove him from the hearts of the people.

On the birthday of the Mahanayak, we pay our respects to him.

And at the same time, we must remember history--how the great artists, culture and cultural icons of Bengal were treated in the past.

Forgive us, Mahanayak. Attempts were made to insult you, but no one could ever take away your place in the hearts of Bengalis. The Mahanayak was there, the Mahanayak is here, and the Mahanayak will remain forever.

@JioMart_Support Due to a old customer I trusted @JioMart and ordered. I was surprised that the product was damaged upon opening the pack. Now received such poor response/support from customer care for the damaged product ensured me to think again before buying anything again from this platform.

@CESCLimited @CESCLimited As informed over call Complaint 0326064855 raised in 1:42am is basically closed by technician as it seems as malpractice to show shorter response time to close a complaint. You have now raised a fresh ticket with a fresh TAT. Very Dissapointed

[Sujay Kumar Das @sujaykdas]

@CESCLimited Power yet to be restored however call is closed. Technician's visited and informed more ppl will come and then after few minute I got this sms. Kindly let me know if it's a standard process you are following to resolve Power related issues.
