Many of us know the story of the Trojan Horse.
The Trojan Horse was a wooden horse used by the Greeks,during the Trojan War,to enter the walled city of Troy and win the war. After a fruitless 10-year siege,the Greeks at the behest of Odysseus constructed a huge
wooden horse and hid a select force of men inside,including Odysseus himself. The Greeks pretended to sail away,and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. That night the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the
rest of the Greek army,which had sailed back under cover of night. The Greeks entered and destroyed the city of Troy,ending the war.

Metaphorically, a "Trojan horse" has come to mean any trick or stratagem that causes a target to invite a foe into a securely protected
bastion or place.

Clearly Mukul Roy was a Trojan Horse. After having been welcomed into the BJP,gained access to its all-India leaders and hobnobbed with state BJP’s gullible and ??? leaders and learnt all about the party and its innermost detail, he went back and
leaked everything to Mamata.

But what’s done is done. Now the big question is,did Mukul leave back Trojan Horses within this Trojan Horse?

BTW I used to wonder why Mukul always avoided meeting me. Now it all figures.

Today is the death anniversary of S Wajed Ali,outstanding liberal thinker among Bengali Muslims from Vill Boro Tajpur,Hooghly. His anecdote ‘Bharatvarsha’ contains a sentence that has passed into the language “সেই Tradition সমানে চলেছে”.
The circumstances in which Ali had
written of his experience are these: When he was a child he used to pass a grocer’s shop where he would see the grocer reading the Ramayana to his young son in a mellifluous voice (Ali called it সাপখেলানো সুরে, the tune of a snake-charmer).
Then he moved away from that
area but happened to come back to it some thirty years later. The look of the locality had changed drastically. But he was happy to see that that grocer’s shop still remained. And on approaching it he found the same grocer reading the Ramayana to his young son in that

Today,20th May,is the 50th anniversary of the Chuknagar massacre. Undoubtedly the worst case of mass murder in South Asia-even Jallianwala Bagh pales in comparison. The victims are estimated to be 10,000,all Bengali Hindus,mostly scheduled castes. The mass murderers were the
Pakistani Army and Razakars,Bengali Muslim collaborators of the Pakis. Read on.

Chuknagar is a small market town in Khulna Zilla,Dumuria Upazilla of present-day Bangladesh. It is hardly 40 kms away from Basirhat,North 24-Parganas of West Bengal. A huge crowd of Bengali Hindus
had assembled there to escape to India. All bone-poor,defenceless,unarmed men women and children who only wanted to save themselves from the bestial Pakis.
The Bengali Muslim Razakars informed the Army of the gathering. The Army arrived,began to shoot at the defenceless crowd

Today is 25th Baisakh according to the Bengali calendar. The birthday of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. Not just a Nobel Laureate or a poet whose compositions hv bn adopted by India,Bangladesh and Sri Lanka as National Anthem; but a poet of extraordinary profundity. Pranam,Pranam
Facts not widely known: Gurudev’s elder brother Satyendranath was the first Indian in the ICS,allotted to Bombay Presidency. In the house of a friend of his at Bombay the poet met the Maharashtrian girl,Anna Tarkhade. The poet’s first love. He was 17 then. Anna died prematurely.
Satyendranath’s wife Gyanadanandinee imported the Gujarati style of draping a saree and made it popular among Bengali women.
That India’s National Anthem and Bangladesh’s ‘Amar Sonar Bangla’ were composed by Tagore is fairly well known. But Sri Lanka’s anthem

Kailash-Dilip-Shiv-Arvind (KDSA) foursome have dragged the names of our respected Prime Minister and Home Minister through mud and have sullied the name of the biggest political party in the world. Sitting atop Agarwal Bhavan of Hastings (W Bengal BJP’s election headquarters)
and 7-star hotels they have distributed tickets to incoming garbage from Trinamool. Now faced with abuse from party workers they’re staying put there,hoping the storm will blow over.
These people have heaped the worst possible insults on ideologically driven BJP workers and
devout Swayamsevaks who had been relentlessly working for the party since 1980s. Now those very people are suffering the worst persecution from Trinamoolis. But KDSA won’t go to their rescue,won’t even exhort them to fight back. Instead they are trying to draw comfort from

Film and TV actors who never had anything to do with politics,let alone BJP,were handed tickets by BJP’s election management team. Parno Mitra (Baranagar),Srabanti Chatterjee (Behala West),Payel Sarkar (Behala East). These women were so politically stupid that they had gone on
a steamer trip with TMC’s playboy-politician Madan Mitra less than a month before elections and shot selfies with him. All were roundly defeated. What great qualities were these women possessed of? Kailash Vijayvargiya,Dilip Ghosh & Co must answer 🙄🙄🙄
It must not be forgotten that a BJP electoral ticket carries with it substantial money for running the election. Or for other purposes!

Yesterday a bunch of Mamata-paid busybodies did a lot of Nautanki in Kolkata Maidan in protest against the death by firing by central forces of four young men called Hamidul,Samiul,Maniruzzaman and Noor. The SP of Koch Behar district stated that these four,among others,had tried
to snatch rifles from CISF personnel and force their way into booths. The local villagers had also started a rumour that the forces had kidnapped a boy when they had merely taken him for treatment when he had fallen ill. Mamata has,predictably,termed the shooting of
these four as ‘Genocide’-which,given her knowledge of English, is excusable. But what is not is that she had,over the last few days,trying to instigate her supporters to gherao the central forces. This incident is seen is a direct consequence of her instigation.
Incidentally,
