Context: Rabindranath Tagore, the first king of Bangladesh and the national anthem of Bangladesh!
1) In 1905, the man who took to the streets wearing a dhoti was Sri Sri Rabindranath Tagore. As a result of the partition of Bengal, Calcutta lost its authority as the capital and Dhaka was made the capital of East Bengal, today's Bangladesh and Assam.
Other Indian zamindars and tradersBy tying a towel, they came down in opposition to East Bengal i.e. today's Bangladesh and they were successful in this. As a result of their opposition, the partition of Bengal was canceled in 1911 and East Bengal i.e.
Bangladesh was reunited with India and East Bengal lost its independence. 2) Dhaka University was established in Dhaka in 1921 considering the dire situation of the education system of East Bengal and Bangladesh at that time.
But the establishment of this Dhaka University alsoIndian poet Sri Sri Ravi Tagore opposed! On March 18, 1912, Rabindranath Tagore, protesting the decision to establish the University of Dhaka on the Gad ground in Calcutta, insulted the Muslims and said,
"If farm boys go to university, who will work in the fields?" Source: goo.gl/H9HnoL The Tagore family's zamindari was huge in East Bengal.
In 1912, the establishment of Dhaka University was announced in East BengalOn 2 February, the Hindus began to strongly oppose it. And Rabindranath also joined their party.
He never once thought that his Muslim subjects should get the opportunity of education. On March 18, 1912, the poet Rabindranath himself presided over the meeting held by the Hindus protesting the decision to establish Dhaka University in Calcutta Gar field.
Hindus came against Dhaka University that dayNewspapers, Hindu intellectuals and leaders. The elites of Bengal led by Girish Chandra Banerjee, Rasbihari Ghosh and even Calcutta University Vice Chancellor Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee gave 18 memorandums to Lord Hardinge against the establishment of Dhaka University and met Baralat to prevent the establishment of Dhaka University.
(Reference :- Calcutta University Commission Report, B-4, p. 130) so muchEven after doing Dhaka University was established. Yet opposition and hatred persisted. For a long time, Dhaka University was ridiculed as a 'Mecca' school. See who Razakar says!!
But the song written by this Indian poet against the partition of Bengal is our national anthem!! Where is this shame?
