BHU still numero uno
In the survey, the BHU was adjudged better than Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), University of Delhi, University of Calcutta and other prestigious universities on a number of parameters including reputation of the university, quality of academic input, faculty, research publications/reports, projects, infrastructure and placements.
The main campus of this premier central university spreads over 1,300 acres, and has well-maintained roads, extensive greenery, a temple, an air-strip and buildings with unique architecture. The BHU today has nearly 20,000 students including 2,500 research scholars and 650 foreign students from 34 nations under one roof.

On Tagore's trail ... rare photograph

The mayhem on our National Anthem
The wikipedia article on Jana Gana Mana... sports a controversy on the Indian national anthem which is doing rounds on the net. Some blogs question the timing of the song (the Coronation of George V) where the song actually is a clandestine attack on British Imperialism. It is but natural that Tagore had to be surreptitious writing the song in 1911. There are even lesser mortals who question the absence of names of few states and accuse the poem to be regionalistic. This is my attempt to educate such blissfully ignorant brethren.
Its quite common among us Indians to babble on subjects little known to us. People who talk of Nehru in not so favorable terms, especially about his plans for India – have little knowledge of the socio-political situation of India at the time of Independence; his vast knowledge as exemplified by his two epics – ‘Discovery of India’ and ‘Glimpses of World History’(which BTW are one of the most authoritative works of history and regarded worldwide); and are unable to compare the two states – Pakistan and India liberated on the same ‘night’ but our neighbours not having the IITs, SAILs, BHELs and the contributions (of these institutions established by Nehru) to India’s development. Similar is the case with Gandhi and Netaji. People just love to talk.
Without knowing for example, that Tagore was the greatest writer in modern Indian literature, poet, novelist, educator, and an early advocate of Independence for India, was instrumental in setting up Universities (not limited to Santiniketan whose illustrious alumni include the other Nobel laureate of India – Amartya Sen), and gave up his Knighthood to protest the Jallianwala Bagh incident. Much of Tagore’s ideology come from the teaching of the Upanishads.
I am not sure how many of the above even understand and appreciate poetry. Have anyone of you even attempted writing one in your childhood? To imagine that the names of every Indian state should be captured in a poem to express the expanse of our motherland! Crib and question the artistic ability of the only Indian blessed with a Nobel in literature! Its both irritating and amusing at the same time. I wonder who these critics are who have today tried to measure-up Tagore – a name revered by the greatest litterateurs of the world.
Glorifying our pasts seems to be the favorite pastime for us, since we are a frustrated with our politicians lacking vision for the future – without a true attempt to research the real history of our civilization, dominated and enslaved by centuries of Muslim and British rule. Today some religious radicals talk of racial conservatism without realizing how open our culture was before these invasions. They would cover the temple architectures with burkhas if they had their way. The best works on Indian history (atleast those easily accessible) are those written by the British – obviously through their looking glasses.
The complete poem goes thus. At places Tagore refers to "the Mother" (Was George a transgender!)
I’d like to draw the attention of of Tagore's critics to the following :

In a letter to Pulin Behari Sen, Tagore later wrote, "A certain high official in His Majesty's service, who was also my friend, had requested that I write a song of felicitation towards the Emperor. The request simply amazed me. It caused a great stir in my heart. In response to that great mental turmoil, I pronounced the victory in Jana Gana Mana of that Bhagya Vidhata (ed. God of Destiny) of India who has from age after age held steadfast the reins of India's chariot through rise and fall, through the straight path and the curved. That Lord of Destiny, that Reader of the Collective Mind of India, that Perennial Guide, could never be George V, George VI, or any other George. Even my official friend understood this about the song. After all, even if his admiration for the crown was excessive, he was not lacking in simple common sense."
Hope some sense dawns on our confused brethren. Let me also repeat those golden words from Geetanjali:
Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been
broken up into fragments
by narrow domestic walls; …
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the
dreary desert sand of dead habit; …
Into that heaven of freedom,
my Father, let my country awake.
Let not your reason and intellect be lost in the dreary desert sands ...

Amba @ Durshet
A Panorama shot of River Amba near Durshet Forest Lodge ... 15 km from Khopoli into the interiors ...
We went there as a biggish group - 4+ 1 families (the +1 is in the making .... !) for a day picnic. Rustic upkeep, quite well maintained, clean amenities, hygenic food. Thus a nice outing on a weekend - a good 80 km drive from home at Pune.
The day was sunny (although early morning the overcast threatened to mar the day). Breakfast, Kayaking, Rappelling, Waterfalls, swimming etc made us hungry enough for the lunch and snacks afterwards.
A nice getaway from the maddening crowd for the Mumbaikars in the group !

About Dadu
Diptendu Pramanick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born : 1910 Calcutta Died :1989 Kolkata Residence: New Alipore, Kolkata
Ethnicity: Bengali Home town: Shantipur Children: Subrata Pramanick, Eva Kundu
Diptendu Pramanick (July 1910 – Dec 1989) ( দীপ্তেন্দু প্রামাণিক ) was a bengali film personality from Calcutta. He was the founder secretary of the Eastern India Motion Pictures Association [1] in Calcutta, India - a fraternity of film personnel which is an interface between the entertainment industry of eastern India and the Government. During his multifarious career he came in contact with eminent personalities and saw the evolution of this organization from its initial days to being a regionwide entity.
Early life and education
He was born on July 18, 1910 in Calcutta. He was the eldest son of Sudhamoy Pramanick from Shantipur. He did his early schooling in Calcutta and then at Raiganj where his father practised as a lawyer.
In 1926 he returned to Calcutta and cleared Matriculation followed by the Intermediate examinations in Science in 1928. He then joined the Scottish Church College, Calcutta. His interactions with many a revolutionary, the explosive air of the times, and the inspiration from a famous alumni [Subhas Chandra Bose assaults Oaten, 1916] probably drove him to antagonize an Indian-loathing teacher at Scottish Church College, and follow Bose's suit. He later graduated from Asutosh College, and earned a bachelor's degree in science from the University of Calcutta in 1931.
Career
After leaving college he worked as the Secretary to the then Mayor of Calcutta Sri Santosh Kumar Basu [2]. Out of his literary inclinations, he associated with literary conferences and Bengali literature fora. [3] The 12th Prabasi Banga-Sahitya Sammelan was inaugurated by Rabindranath Tagore in Calcutta, Dec 1934 (Photo : The Reception Committee was chaired by Ramananda Chatterjee).
On completion of Mr Basu’s term as Mayor he became the Liaison Officer of Civil Defense and in the Publicity Section of the Commercial Museum. In 1942 he moved to the Home Department of the then Bengal Government as Liaison Officer, Civil Defense.
At this time, Japan had overrun Burma and the threat of bombing was looming large on Calcutta. Eventually Japanese aircraft bombed Budge Budge (south of Calcutta).
The bombing led to widespread panic - over a million people fled from
the city and there was a huge pressure on civic authorities to control
the situation. Indian Civil Defence Department expanded at a rapid pace
to counter these threats and planned lighting restrictions, medical
platoons, fire-fighting and rescue units.[6] At the end of the war, the department was wound down starting 1947.
Subsequently, he tested his skills of entrepreneurship through a venture (Cine Furnishers Limited) with a couple of friends . It is here that he came in close contact with people of the Bengali film industry of Kolkata
It is here that he came in close contact with people of the Bengali film industry of Kolkata.
Enthused with these contacts, he joined an association of producers, distributors and exhibitors of Bengal (Bengal Motion Pictures Association) in 1948 as Secretary [7][8] while Sri B. N. Sircar was the President. Next year he started the BMPA journal[9][10] and was the editor [11][12] for more than two decades.[13][14][15] The Association was working on a rented premises at 125, Dharamtolla Street (now Lenin Sarani) which was moved to 2, Madan Street, Calcutta. The association grew under his leadership and moved into 98E Chowringhee Square (now 98E B.N. Sircar Sarani – EIMPA house - its present location ).
He was the first secretary of the then expanded Eastern India Motion Picture Association (EIMPA) and was instrumental in opening the EIMPA offices in Patna and Guwahati.[16] In this period the uncertainties of war led to severe shortage of raw film stock in the country. A Film Advisory Committee was formed under the Government of India, and was given control of raw film stock distribution.[17] EIMPA played an important role as a trade representative, negotiating materials for the film industry of eastern India and much of Diptendu's efforts were directed for the same. During his tenure he also served as the Secretary of Film Federation of India (1953–1954) [18]. In 1956, Diptendu and other stalwarts like Satyajit Ray, Robert Hawkins, Vijaya Mulay and Dasgupta revived the Calcutta Film Society which witnessed the joining of 300 members.[19]
The same team were then the prime movers behind the formation of the Federation of Film Societies of India (FFSI) in 1959 which was presided by Satyajit Ray, with Diptendu as the Jt. Treasurer [20][21][22] during which Indira Gandhi was a member of the FFSI (till 1964).[23]
First International Film Festival, 1952
First Film Seminar, 1955
Sangeet Natak Akademi convened the first film seminar at Delhi and it was inaugurated by Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru [14]. Prominent film personality attended this seminar [15]
The elaborate report by the 1973 Committee raised issues about
institutional finances, cess based state funding of cinema, creating a
generation of ‘low-budget’ stars to counter the lopsided economics of a
star-heavy industry and censorship reforms. In that sense the report
anticipated the birth of a generation of stars from the state-driven FTII in the Naseeruddin Shah and Smita Patil era.[30]
Legacy
Children from many underprivileged families of Dahuka, a remote village in Bardhaman district, receive school books from the Diptendu Pramanick Book fund every year, during a ceremony held on the occasion of the Saraswati Puja.

With Frank Capra in 1952, Diptendu Pramanick - 2nd from left
The Films Division of the Government of India sponsored and organized the First International Film Festival of India in 1952. BMPA played a pivotal role in organizing the festival in Calcutta. Frank Capra, the famous American director flew in [12] and was overwhelmed by the reception he got at Calcutta after visiting Bombay and Delhi. In his autobiography he wrote " .. Was deluged with garlands ... Bengali people are quite different from the rest of India. They are like the Irish, emotional, sentimental. All riots and revolutions start in Bengal. I can understand it. It took me an hour to leave the airport, what with the crowds and the photographers..." [18]Here he is seen at the Dum Dum Airport with the who's who of Calcutta Filmdom.

In the early 1970s, he was still getting nominated to committees [16][28] - representing the Cinema trade for their infrastructural and legal issues, including the significant 1967-68 and 1973-74 Parliamentary Estimates Committee.[29]
