[mukto-mona] Sibnarayan Ray Memorial Reading and Open Discussion

Dear Friends,

 

The memorial reading and the open discussion on the late Sibnarayan Ray, organized by Shabdaguchha and Muktodhara, was held on March 15, Saturday, in Jackson Heights, New York. The meeting was presided over by Syed Muhammad Ullah, where the opening remarks were made by Biswajit Saha, the proprietor of Muktodhara. Naznin Seamon, the assistant editor of Shabdaguchha, spoke about her acquaintance with Prof. Ray and how he came into publishing her first short story on Jijnasa, the literary journal that Sibnarayan Ray edited for more than 25 years. She also read from Dr. Goalm Murshid's article on Prof. Ray to give a clear picture about who Prof. Ray was and what was his contribution. 

    Prof. Husna Ara, Khorshedul Islam, Mohon Gomez, Tusher Gayen and Hassanal Abdullah were among the others who also took part in the discussion. They all emphasised on Prof. Ray's life-long dedication on freethinking, critical writings, radical humanism, poetry and philosophical essays along with his contribution to the Bengali literature as the editor of Jijnasa.  Rekha Ahmed, Sakina Deni and Hassanal Abdullah read from Prof. Ray's poetry.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Editor, Shabdaguchha
