AGARTALA, June 17 (TIWN): Both are Nobel laureates! When Rabindranath Tagore received the Nobel Prize in 1913 for his Gitanjali, he preached for divinity and real peace. In contrast, Muhammad Yunus, the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize winner and current chief advisor of Bangladesh's interim government, came to power after a violent mob ousted Sheikh Hasina. Since then, Bangladesh's Hindus and opposition have faced severe existential crises under the Yunus-led government. Recently, Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral home in Bangladesh, considered the "heart" of Bengali modern civilization, was vandalized, triggering protests across India, including in Tripura.
On Tuesday, common men walked through Agartala streets condemning the violent attack on Tagore’s home.
The ruling BJP party also staged several protests against the incident, expressed surprise over the silence of the Yunus government.
Meanwhile, little action was taken against the violent people who thronged to Rabindranath Tagore’s home and vandalized it. The government of Bangladesh stated that it arrested two people and the protest was a result of “altercation between two visitors and the caretaker of the property.”
