A brief biography of Nazrul

Kazi Nazrul Islam (24 May 1899 – 29 August 1976) was a Bengali poet, writer, musician, and revolutionary from the Indian subcontinent. He is the national poet of Bangladesh. Popularly known as Nazrul, he produced a large body of poetry and music with themes that included religious devotion and spiritual rebellion against fascism and oppression. Nazrul's activism for political and social justice earned him the title of "Rebel Poet" (Bidrohi Kobi).His compositions form the avant-garde genre of Nazrul Sangeet (Music of Nazrul). Nazrul and his works are equally commemorated and celebrated in Bangladesh and India, particularly in India's Bengali-speaking states such as West Bengal, parts of Assam, and Tripura.

Born in a Bengali Muslim Kazi family, Nazrul Islam received religious education and as a young man worked as a muezzin at a local mosque. He learned about poetry, drama, and literature while working with the rural theatrical group Letor Dal. He joined the British Indian Army in 1917. After serving in the British Indian Army in the Middle East (Mesopotamian campaign) during World War I, Nazrul established himself as a journalist in Calcutta. He criticised the British Raj and called for revolution through his poetic works, such as "Bidrohi" (The Rebel) and "Bhangar Gaan" (The Song of Destruction) as well as in his publication Dhumketu ('The Comet'). His nationalist activism in Indian independence movement led to his frequent imprisonment by the colonial British authorities. While in prison, Nazrul wrote the "Rajbandir Jabanbandi" (Deposition of a Political Prisoner). His writings greatly inspired Bengalis of East Pakistan during the Bangladesh Liberation War.

Nazrul's writings explored themes such as love, freedom, humanity, and revolution. He opposed all forms of bigotry and fundamentalism, including religious, caste-based and gender-based. Nazrul wrote short stories, novels, and essays but is best known for his songs and poems. He created the first Bengali language ghazals. He is also known to have experimented with Arabic, Persian, and Sanskrit words in his works to produce rhythmic effects.

Nazrul wrote and composed music for nearly 4,000 songs (many recorded on HMV and gramophone records), collectively known as Nazrul Geeti. In 1942 at the age of 43, he began to suffer from an unknown disease, losing his voice and memory. A medical team in Vienna diagnosed the disease as Morbus Pick, a rare incurable neurodegenerative disease. It caused Nazrul's health to decline steadily and forced him to live in isolation in India. He was also admitted in Ranchi(Jharkhand) psychiatric hospital for many years. At the invitation of the Government of Bangladesh, Nazrul and his family moved to Dhaka in 1972. He died four years later on 29 August 1976 in Bangladesh.

Car Crash Takes a Heavy Toll

---- By Wadud Khan

DEMANDING  ‘safety roads’ has become a common expectation in Bangladesh for all walks of life irrespective of caste, creed, religion and political parties. Each year innumerable innocent people are falling a great victim to car crash. No measure is still looking effective to prevent such devastating incidents. No light of hope is still vivid in the gloomy sky of Bangladesh regrading road accidents.

There are many reasons to cause road accidents. Reckless driving is one of the most fatal causes of it. Narrow roads, disobeying traffic rules, lack of proper training for driving, unnecessary overtaking tendency, mismanagement in highways are also responsible for car crashes. Some motor-bikers look desperate while driving in the busy roads. 

If we closely imagine how much sufferings are brought about by road accidents, we cannot but shed our tears silently. Many people have become crippled, many wives have become widows, many innocent kids have become orphans, many parents have lost their only child and become hopeless due to road accidents. Man must die today or tomorrow. There is no way to escape death. But as a human being, everybody wants to die a natural death. No unnatural death is acceptable to anybody. But who cares?

There are some laws regarding road accidents but no drivers, passersby is willing to follow the existing laws. Some experts and researchers like Illias Kanchon propose many ideas to decrease road accidents and lessen the loss of it. The general people are quite ignorant of traffic rules. That’s why they do not abide by the rules. Even in many cases, the helpers of a car often drive in absence of the main drivers.
Some days ago, in August, 2018, many school children throughout the country have come out of their classrooms to protest against road accidents because their two classmates have been killed by a careless driver. The guardians, university students also support their non-violent movement. The school kids stand on the highways and check many cars and find out that most of the cars have no fitness, no road permission, no driving licenses. Even the Members of Parliament, govt officials, actors or actresses, intellectuals, journalists do not abide by the traffic rules. The whole nation becomes speechless to see the terrific situation of the traffic. In spite of having a lot of over bridge in Dhaka or other mega city, the common people are very reluctant to use that to avoid road crashes.     

A new law has recently been passed to lessen the road accidents and to ensure the safety roads. This law will also control the unlawful activities of the drivers and the car-owners. It will ensure severe punishment for those who intentionally cause road accidents. Though the law is now active, road accidents still continue. Even yesterday, on 25 August, 2018, at least 25 people have been killed and many were severely injured due to several road crashes all over the country. No laws can save us if all kinds of people do not become aware of the severe sufferings of road accidents. We all are waiting for a better Bangladesh having safety roads.

Kurbani requires sacrifice from heart

 Facebook Live Telecast with the Cow

Eid-ul-Azha, one of the biggest Muslim festivals, is knocking at the door, just three more days away. Most of the economically solvent Muslims are buying their sacrificial animals, especially cows, buffalos, goats. The richest persons of the country are trying to buy exceptional animals like camels with a heavy amount of money. 

Actually, Kurbani is a Arabic word which basically means sacrifice from the core of one’s heart in the name of Almighty Allah. But unfortunately, nowadays we come to see that many of us are trying to draw others’ attention regarding their purchased animals. 

Showing others-I am this, I am that– has become our main motto. Ikhlas is another Arabic term which basically means performing any good deeds should be for the satisfaction of Allah Tala and his messenger Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), is totally absent from us.

If we buy our sacrificial animals in order to show our social status to others, or if our target becomes to have the tasty meat of the slaughtered animals, our sacrifices will neither be holly nor be acceptable to Allah. In that case, we will get no reword from Allah Subhanahu Tala. 

The flesh or blood of the slaughtered animals never goes to Allah, only the sacred will of the Muslims goes to Him. Undoubtedly, Allah Jalla Shanhu never expects anything from His slaves except Ikhlas, He just observes His slaves’s sacrifices from the core of heart for Him. Among us who have decided to sacrifice animals, should look at our hearts closely. Why are we sacrificing? Is it to make the common people happy or to get compliments from others? If so, our sacrifices will bring nothing from our Kind Creator. But, if we sacrifice our animals for the sole satisfaction of our Creator, we will get uncountable, unbelievable rewards from Him after death.   

Islamic scholars and researchers always advise ordinary Muslims to be loyal to Allah unconditionally. Uploading pictures of the sacrificial animals on the social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram or taking selfies with cows, buffalos, goats completely ruin our sincerity, integrity, honesty and holly will.

Dhaka Attack certainly a quality movie

A scene from Dhaka Attack

Reviewed by Wadud Khan

Finally, I have enjoyed full length Bangla action thriller movie entitled Dhaka Attack written by Sunny Sanwar and directed by Dipankar Dipon.

The theme, plot, setting, diction, acting- all are outstanding. This movie proves that Bangladeshi film makers can make special movies if they get proper logistic supports.

Especially, the protagonist, Arifin Shuvoo's acting and his exceptional role charm us a lot. The presence of some veteran actors like Alamgir, Afzal Hossain, Shatabdi Wadud  widens this movie's appeal to all. Nonetheless, Taskeen Rahman has proved his worth. He deserves to be a promising villain in near future. Mahiya Mahi's role as a journalist is also praiseworthy. Both ABM Sumon and Quazi Nawshaba Ahmed have acted better than before.

Bangladeshi film-viewers are nowadays not going to the cinemas due to many logical reasons. The environment of the cinema halls is not family friendly. Dust, waste, trash, rubbish, mosquitoes often disturb the viewers in many local cinemas.

Neither the educated nor the uneducated is enjoying Bangla movies these days. The film makers, producers, actors, actresses feel utter helpless when they see their films are becoming a super flop, a time-wasting effort.

The film makers condemn the viewers. On the other hand, the viewers condemn the film makers. If the viewers don't respond to Bangladeshi movies, how can the directors dare make a big-budget movies? If the Bangladeshi movies don't ensure qualities like Bollywood or Hollywood or even like Tollywood, why will the viewers spend money or time on watching Bangla movies?

In a nutshell, we may conclude that the film like Dhaka Attack may bring the movie-viewers back to the cinemas and Bangladeshi films may get back its lost reputation, appeal, acceptability to all classes of movie-viewers.

একালের সেকেলে শিক্ষক : প্রতি পদে বঞ্চনা | ওয়াদুদ খান

সম্প্রতি (০৪ জুন ২০১৮ খ্রিষ্টাব্দ) জনপ্রশাসন মন্ত্রণালয় থেকে "সরকারি টেলিফোন, সেলুলার, ফ্যাক্স ও ইন্টারনেট নীতিমালা, ২০১৮" শিরোনামে একটি সময়োপযোগী নীতিমালা জারি করা হয়েছে। সঙ্গত কারণেই প্রজাতন্ত্রের কর্মচারীরা (বর্তমানে 'কর্মকর্তা' শব্দটি আর ব্যবহার করা হচ্ছে না। একারণে কর্মকর্তার স্থলে ইচ্ছে করেই 'কর্মচারী' লেখা হয়েছে।) এতে খুশি হয়েছেন। কেননা, গ্রেড-১ থেকে শুরু করে গ্রেড-৯ পর্যন্ত সরকারি কর্মচারীরারা মাসিক "মোবাইল ও ইন্টারনেট ভাতা" পাবেন। এতে অন্তর্ভুক্ত হয়েছেন বিভিন্ন দপ্তর, অধিদপ্তর, পরিদপ্তরের প্রধানগণ। সবই শুভ উদ্যোগ। সরকার নিঃসন্দেহে প্রশংসার দাবিদার।

বরাবরের মতো এই নীতিমালাতেও উপেক্ষিত থেকে গেছেন শিক্ষা ক্যাডারের কর্মচারীবৃন্দ। অধ্যক্ষ, উপাধ্যক্ষ  ও অধ্যাপক ছাড়া শিক্ষা ক্যাডারের আর কোনো কর্মচারী এই সুবিধা পাবেন না। কারণ, তাঁরা প্রতিষ্ঠানের প্রধান নন। অথচ, অন্যান্য ক্যাডারের ক্ষেত্রে এই সুবিধা পাচ্ছেন গ্রেড-৭ থেকে গ্রেড-৯ এর কর্মচারীগণ। যেমন: উপজেলা পর্যায়ের সহকারী কমিশনার (ভূমি) এই সুবিধা পাচ্ছেন, কেননা তাঁর একটি অফিস রয়েছে যদিও তাঁর বেতন গ্রেড-৯।

যেহেতু ক্যাডার শিক্ষক কর্মচারীদের নিজস্ব কোনো অফিস নেই, তাই তাঁরা গ্রেড-৫ কিংবা গ্রেড-৬ এর কর্মচারী হয়েও "মোবাইল ও ইন্টারনেট ভাতা" প্রাপ্য হবেন  না। একটি সরকারি কলেজে ২০০জন শিক্ষক কর্মচারী (ক্যাডার শিক্ষক) কর্মরত থাকলেও অফিস পরিচালনা করে থাকেন মাত্র দুজন- অধ্যক্ষ ও উপাধ্যক্ষ। কাজেই এই দুজন কর্মচারী ও পদমর্যাদার কারণে অধ্যাপকদের উপরিউক্ত সুবিধা প্রদানই কর্তৃপক্ষের নিকট যথেষ্ট মনে হয়েছে।

শিক্ষকদের মাল্টিমিডিয়া ক্লাসরুমে পাঠদানে দক্ষ করার মানসে সরকার আইসিটি কোর্সের পেছনে  ইতোমধ্যে কোটি কোটি টাকা খরচ করে ফেলেছে। অথচ, শিক্ষকদের একটি করে আধুনিক ল্যাপটপ কিনে দিতে পারেনি। শিক্ষকদের ল্যাপটপ নেই, ট্যাবলেট পিসি নেই, এমনকি অনেকের মোডেম কিংবা স্মার্ট ফোনও নেই। অথচ, কোনও কোনও শিক্ষক তিন-চারবার আইসিটি ট্রেনিং সম্পন্ন করে ফেলেছেন।

শিক্ষকদের মাল্টিমিডিয়া ক্লাসরুমে পাঠদানে দক্ষ করার অভিপ্রায়ে প্রায়শ বলা হয়ে থাকে, "একজন শিক্ষক হবেন পুরোপুরি ডিজিটাল। তিনি গুগলে সার্চ দিয়ে বের করে আনবেন হালনাগাদ কিন্তু সঠিক ও নির্ভুল সকল তথ্য। তিনি ইউটিউবে সার্চ দিয়ে ডাউনলোড করে নিবেন তার প্রয়োজনীয় ভিডিও ম্যাটেরিয়ালস। ভিডিও এডিটিং, কাটিং, পেস্টিং খুব সুন্দর করে শিখে নিবেন। একজন শিক্ষক মাইক্রোসফট পাওয়ার পয়েন্টে হবেন সুদক্ষ। ক্লাসরুমে বড়ো মনিটরে ক্লাস নিতে পারঙ্গম হবেন একজন শিক্ষক কর্মচারী।"

আইসিটি ট্রেনিংয়ের কল্যাণে অনেক শিক্ষক যুগোপযোগী ডিজিটাল কন্টেন্ট তৈরি করে ইতোমধ্যে সাড়াও ফেলেছেন। কিন্তু অত্যন্ত পরিতাপের বিষয় হলো- সরকার শিক্ষকদের "মোবাইল ও ইন্টারনেট ভাতা" থেকে উপরিউক্ত নীতিমালায় বঞ্চিত করেছে।

আমরা যদি একটু গভীরভাবে অনুধাবন করি, তাহলে দেখতে পাবো- থানার একজন ভারপ্রাপ্ত কর্মকর্তার (ওসি) চেয়ে একজন শিক্ষকের মোবাইল ও ইন্টারনেট ব্যবহার কম প্রয়োজনীয় নয়। একজন শিক্ষককে যোগাযোগ রক্ষা করতে শিক্ষার্থী ও অভিভাবকদের সাথে।

একজন শিক্ষক কেন নিজ পকেটের টাকা খরচ করে গুগলে ঢুকবেন, ইউটিউবে সাঁতরাবেন, রাত জেগে ডিজিটাল কন্টেন্ট তৈরি করবেন, যেখানে সেই শিক্ষকটিকে দেয়া হয়নি একটি ল্যাপটপ, ট্যাবলেট কিংবা কম্পিউটার? আবার শিক্ষকদের বাড়তি উৎসাহ দেওয়ার জন্য দেয়া হচ্ছে না "মোবাইল ও ইন্টারনেট ভাতা"।

শিক্ষকদের কর্ম পরিবেশের বৈশিষ্ট্যই এমন যে, সবাই একই সাথে অফিস প্রধান হবেন না। সবার অফিস থাকা জরুরিও নয়। এর মানে নয় যে তাঁদের মোবাইল ও ইন্টারনেট চালানোর প্রয়োজন নেই।

আশাকরি, আমার লেখাটি সংশ্লিষ্ট কর্তৃপক্ষের নজরে আসবে এবং তাঁরা দ্রুততম সময়ে নীতিমালাটির সংশোধনী এনে সকল শিক্ষক কর্মচারীদের "মোবাইল ও ইন্টারনেট ভাতা" প্রদান করা হবে।

ভুলে গেলে চলবে না, এটি শিক্ষকদের প্রতি কোনো দয়া নয়; বরং তাঁদের ন্যায়সঙ্গত অধিকার।

আর কতকাল হাজারো বঞ্চনার শিকার একালের শিক্ষকরা থেকে যাবেন সেকেলে?

সড়ক দুর্ঘটার ছবি

Road Accidents

At present  (বর্তমানে), road accidents have become regular incidents (দৈনন্দিন ঘটনা) in all over the world (সারা পৃথিবীতে), especially (বিশেষ করে) in Bangladesh. It is increasing day by day  (দিনে দিনে বাড়ছে). Thousands of people are dying every year due to road accident (সড়ক দুর্ঘটনায় প্রতিবছর হাজার হাজার লোক মারা যাচ্ছে). Most of the road accidents take place (ঘটে) in the urban areas  ( শহর এলাকায়) and in the highways (মহাসড়কে). Buses, trucks, rickshaws, baby-taxies etc mainly cause road accidents.The causes of road accidents are reckless driving  (বেপরোয়া গাড়ি চালানো), brake failures of vehicles, over-taking of one vehicle by another, driving by unskilled (অদক্ষ) drivers. Another reason is violation of traffic rules ( ট্রাফিক নিয়মের লঙ্ঘ). Even the police cannot control     the traffic rule breakers (পুলিশ নিয়ম ভঙ্গকারীদের নিয়ন্ত্রণ করতে পারে না). They dash  (ধাক্কা দেয়) the small vehicles and cause accidents. Sometimes pedestrians (পথচারীরা) are crashed (দুর্ঘটনার শিকার হয়) under the wheels of heavy vehicles (ভারী যানবাহনের চাকার নিচে). Sometimes the speedy vehicles fall into the roadside ditch  (রাস্তার পাশের খাদে) or into the river and thus kill the passengers  (যাত্রীরা) on the spot (ঘটনাস্থলে). Many lives are nipped in the bud (অঙ্কুরে বিনষ্ট হয়). Many a family loses the only earning member (একমাত্র উপার্জনক্ষম ব্যক্তি). Many people become crippled (পঙ্গু). Road accidents make many children orphans (এতিম). Many wives become windows (বিধবা). This problem can be solved by all out efforts  (সর্বাাত্মক) from both the authority and the general people. To do so, first our general people have to be made aware (সচেতন). The drivers have to be skilled and they also have to avoid their overtaking tendency (ওভারটেক করার প্রবনতা). And the authority should be more strict (আরও কড়া হতে হবে) to enforce the existing laws (বিদ্যমান আইন প্রয়োগের বেলায়). However, this problem should be solved by taking necessary (প্রয়োজনীয়) steps. Traffic rules should be imposed strictly (জোরালোভাবে প্রয়োগ করতে হবে). Radio and television can play a vital role  (রেডিও, টেলিভিশন গুরুত্বপূর্ন ভূমিকা পালন করতে পারে) in this regard.

ল্যাংস্টন হিউজের ( Langston Hughes) একটি অসাধারণ কবিতার সরল থিম | ওয়াদুদ খান

Dreams

By Langston Hughes 

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

সরল থিম 

By Wadud Khan

Using very easy and lucid language, Hughes tries to define what a true dream is. Dreams habitually come while we are fast asleep. But these dreams are not dreams at all. True dreams are those which actually take away our sleep. If a person desires to reach his vision and mission, he/she should have a dream. Dream is a mental energy, an inner inspiration. If a person doesn't have any dream, he/she is just like a wingless bird which cannot fly and cannot enjoy freedom. So, human beings should hold fast to dreams. Life becomes like a barren field if there is no true dream. A person loses his hope, ambition, future, career if he/she does not possess any dream. Dream is a will power, a mental strength which moves a person forward.

ইয়েটসের একটি বিখ্যাত কবিতার থিম | ওয়াদুদ খান

উইলিয়াম বাটলার ইয়েটস

মূল কবিতা: 

The Lake Isle of Innisfree

BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;

Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,

And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,

Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;

There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,

And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day

I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;

While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,

I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

কবিতার থিম: 

BY WADUD KHAN (khanwadud2@gmail.com)

W.B. Yeats, at the beginning of this peom, makes a decision to leave the busy city life. He wants to arise and go now. He has decided to make the break from modern society and go to a place he loves, Innisfree. He decides to build a cabin of clay and wattles to live in there. He imagines his garden with exactly nine rows for growing beans, and he wants to have a beehive for honey. He then will live alone in the bee-loud glade. Here Yeats wonderfully expresses that all he will hear is the loud drone of bees, not the drone of civilization. There will be no stress, no noise, no tiresome activities. Peace will come here slowly. From the time the morning dawns until the evening when the cricket sings, there will be unmixed pleasure.
