KOLKATA 71 !!!

'Haazaar bachor dhore, dekhchi itihaas.' 'Aami darsak !' 'The whole system has gone wrong.' 'Thik oi katha ee bolchilaam Sir.' 'Bangaali r chele, dhuti punjabi, chaakri taa holo na.' 'Bhaggyish murti taa jyaanto chilo naa !' 'Fan taa baddo awaaz korche Sir.' 'Bandbox' Bandh ! 'Duniya r shashak ek hayo.' A dead body with bullets in his body ! In the year of 1933, due to heavy rainfall, Shyama, Bhanu and Nimu as well as their parents had to suffer a lot. 'Bhugbe, kintu morbena.' 'Er por e toh akash dhoya jwal.' They took shelter in a safe place nearby. Even Bhulu, the innocent dog was also there with those helpless humans. 'Daaridro, maalinyo aar mrityu r bheerh theley, aami paaye paaye cholechi.' 

In 1943, the entire Bengal province totally collapsed due to the man made famine. People begged for rice here and there. So many people died due to starvation. 'Ekhan khaali kanna aar kanna.' 'Ei Gour, bhaath er fyan dicche.' Nalinakkho is a government servant and is posted in Delhi. 'Pisima r opor besh darad ache dekhchi.' Minu became a scapegoat due to family pressure influenced by extreme poverty and Binodbala. 'Merey tumi or kalanka ghochaate paarbe, taate tomaar kalanka ghuchbe ?' 'Shovona chaakri kore ?' 'Saree taa tola ache toh, sandhye bela jete boleche.' Shovona is a divorcee and her son stays with her ex-husband. The school master became jobless as the school got closed. 

Why Haru lost his job at a tea shop ? Nutu hardly visits at his own house ! Nalinakkho understood how ruthless can be, the word, 'Poverty'. 'Aamake aajkeyi Delhi choley jete hobe.' In 1953, the 'rice smuggling' started in rural Bengal. Mr. Biswas experienced the equal and opposite reaction. Mobile Police on patrol !  'Gourango ! Gourango re !' In 1971, a black marketer, Mr.Banerjee became a businessman as well as politician. 'Ek taa notun jaati r janmo hocche !' 'Asha, hatasha, nirasha, kkhuda aar purbapurush er biswasghatakota.' Bengali people ruined everything by ignoring the anti-social activities and that ignorance became a curse. 'Aaj baachlen, kintu kal, porshu, taar por er din !' 'Baaire jharh baarche', ei chilo "KOLKATA 71".
