Subject: Tagore Deification
"Tagore speaks of the " Heavenly Kingdom "---the "almighty God" and "Soul". If these could remove us from misery what would be the use of man's Endeavour to reform the world? We oppose Tagore, who tries to stunt the growth of self-determination and the struggle of oppressed classes and races". Chinese Communist Party
What is this near absolute cult-like blanket status granted to Tagore by the educated sheeps of Aipaar and Oyeepaar Bangla? What is this about the Bengalees who love to deify anything or anybody they fall in love with?
Sujit K. Bhattacharjee, the great Tagore lover opines, "he is the greatest literary genius the world has ever seen". Greatest genius? Let's try this. Was he a better short story writer than Leo Tolstoy? Was his Geetanjali better than Tolstoy's War and Peace? Did he write anything comparable to Dostoevsky's Crime & Punishment? How can the Nobel committee chose Geetanjali over that epic War & Peace? Was he better than Shakespeare in poetry? Was he better than George Bernard Shaw as a playwright? Was he better than Shakespeare as a dramatist? Honestly tell me, is he better than Ludwig Van Beethoven or Wolfgang Mozart as a composer? Are you telling me that Tagore as an Essayist surpassed the Essayist, E.B White? In fact, Hazrat Google informed me that Tagore's name is not even included in the list of 100 greatest novelists of all time! Why do these Bengalees get all touchy and feely when anything about Robindronath is questioned? What is this inveterate admiration of Tagore by the second rate Bangla-Babus of this world? Wasn't he a mere mortal ? What is this tendency among the Bengalees for deification of a personality? What is this cult mentality? As long as we keep on deifying him, how can we ever judge him as a human being? Where is the difference between blind Mohammed lovers and blind Tagore lovers? Where is the difference between those who recite holly Quran to get their cancer cured and those who listen to Robindroshongeet to get cured from their deadly earthly sojourn? In Calcutta , on December 16, 1911, Robindronath sung Jana Gana Mana to welcome King George V. This poem sung high praises of the King of England—calling him the Bharat Bhaggyyaa Vidhaata-Dispenser of India 's Destiny! Next day all the newspapers reported it was a magnificent salute to a mighty King. There is no doubt in my mind that he had written the song to felicitate the King Emperor of England and his Colonial Empire. Who is this Bharat Bhagya Vidhata? Who is this Adhinaayek? When attacked viciously by the nationalist forces of India , Tagore clarified that the song was written in praise of God. Alas the damage was already done! Nehrujee did admit that the song was in praise of the King!!! I am astounded by the behavior of Tagore lovers. Most of them have only herd instinct like the members of the jealous desert cults. You see, until we chose to slay the gods—we shall never be free as people.
