Animalia Humorosum: Aesop's animal fables made more believable with a modern twist
No full textThere is much that is unusual about this 8½” square booklet of 28 pages followed by two pages of advertisements for other books by Óla. For starters, the pages are purple with light-colored typeface and cutout colored characters in partial-page illustrations. The T of C uses superscript to indicate page numbers for the twelve fables. That same page clarifies that Ólafia L. Óla is a pseudonym for V. Subhash. In TH, the hare, not the tortoise, challenges to a race upon no provocation. The author turns this tale into the more usual “Rabbit Races the Hedgehog,” famous among Grimm’s fairytales. Every one of the species looks the same to the superficial hare. In LM, after the mouse frees the lion, the hungry lion eats the mouse. “Steer clear of known dangers.” DW is told just as in the tradition. “Better die on your feet than live on your knees.” In TB, the second traveler takes off his socks; the smell of them revolts the bear, who departs. What did the bear whisper to him? “Tell that fellow that trees offer no safety because bears are good climbers.” The ox makes up a snake friend to worry the dog out of his manger. A passing hunter saves the shepherd boy attacked by a real wolf. The mice do manage to get a bell around the cat’s neck by having it ready around their hole when the cat pokes in its head. Two foxes jump for grapes. One reacts according to the tradition. The other says the effort has been stupid. “We are foxes. We don’t eat grapes. Let’s go and catch some rabbits.” One of two crows suggests the traditional pebble approach. The other says that will take too much time and too many pebbles and will dirty the water. He manages to knock over the pitcher and they can drink both from the water spilled and the water still in the overturned pitcher. The owner of the golden goose eventually stops reading his mail, misses paying taxes, loses his property, and has to give up the goose as compensation for the unpaid taxes. The wolf escapes the lambskin and never comes back. The crow removes the doughnut from his mouth and tells the fox to move along.Ólafia L. Óla (V. Subhash
Evolved Infantry Subhash Mukhopadhyay/ বিবর্তিত পদাতিক সুভাষ মুখোপাধ্যায়
No full textWhen the present moves towards the future, leaving the past as a witness, it changes itself and reaches its end. In this change, even if the external structure changes, the ideological infrastructure remains intact. Then we do not call it change, but evolution. However, this evolution is not only an evolution of spatial geography and temporal dimensions; it is also an evolution of the mind and mood of the evolved person. Subhash Mukherjee is no exception of this thinking. He is a real example of such evolution. Not only in his political philosophy of life, but also in his literary-centered meditations, poet Subhash Mukhopadhyay did not follow a set path. He changed his opinion, but remained steadfast in his goal. He moved away from leftism ideology and joined hands
with Gandhism. That is true. However, he did not abandon communism. Evolution is the law of the ideological universe. But we must see to it that, that evolved consciousness does not hurt the collective convictions. Subhash Mukhopadhyay is a skilled thinker-artist in this work.
Therefore, in the article under discussion, the primary intention of the author will be to create an outline of evolution in terms of Subhash Mukhopadhyay’s criticism of life, social consciousness, political thought, poetic thought, poetic justice, linguistic thought, aesthetic sense etc. It is to be noted that more examples will be provided from the poet\u27s various poems to authenticate the logical tradition of the discussion. However, for the purpose of presenting the subject matter of the article, various literary forms such as novels, letters or songs will also be used in addition to the poet\u27s poems. And by the end of the article, following these steps, we will reach the evolved consciousness of poet Subhash Mukhopadhyay
Decoding "Public authority" under the RTI act: a comment on Subhash Chandra Aggarwal v. Indian national congress
No full textThe June, 2013 order of the Central Information Commission ("CIC") in Subhash Chandra Aggarwal v. Indian National Congress which brought political parties within the scope of the Right to Information ("RTI") Act, has highlighted some issues regarding the drafting and interpretation of the RTI Act. The CIC held that the six national political parties which were respondents
in the case, have the ingredients that qualify them as "public authorities" within the meaning of section 2(h) of the RTI Act. In this comment the author argues that the reasoning for holding what constitutes substantial financing that makes a body a "public authority" is not clear and the interpretation of the definition of "public authority" is inconsisten
