Agree with your views and it is not just about one's own integrity and doing what is right. It is also about standing up against or raising voice against what is wrong and in the process many a times going against the tide. This can lead to difficult situations like being framed or being a social outcast or spoken ill of. A person's reputation can not depend on that either.At the end of the day a person is known by what he is and not what he is made out to be!

Police is pressurised, that's true but the way police treated the dalit couple is a deed of a shameless creature. They have lost even the basic morality and still he is enjoying his chair. It's a real tragedy for India. If it's not curbed now then as Indians we should be prepared to see much more worse than this.

I agree with what you say, but such people as Raja Ram Mohan Roy , Vidyasagar and others who have worked tirelessly without bothering about the insults and oppositions are very few ...For the vast majority of the people it is a matter of compromise and sycophancy if necessary to get their work done or make their positions secure. I also feel that today it is very difficult to distinguish between the really committed people and the ones that pretend to be so. I guess it is beacuse we have become so cynical with our society and people in general!

Very true. The Movies of Uttam Kunmar are all a treat to the eye. Bengali movie goers are very lucky to have seen him from youth to his mature days to veteran days. That's because Bengali movies are regularly exhibited in Bengal. But we the non Bengali movie lovers get that chance rarely. That too in the morning shows.

Not only backwards and dalits are sufferers, all common person is sufferers. Police is only for politician and influential.
At times I feel sorry for the police force because theirs is not an easy job, they are being pulled in different directions and even if some of them want to perform their duty, they will not be allowed to do so by the law breakers , mainly politicians and their goons. I have several relatives who are in the police force who feel stifled because of the political interference ..
True Usha, political interference is the worst of the many things that the police have to put up with. They do not have enough salaries that can help keep them up with the ever-growing inflation, not enough modern weapons and equipment to do their jobs with. The goons and sociopaths they deal with are always better equipped than the police. On top of that, they have to work miserably long hours and cannot give enough time to families, resulting in broken homes and disgruntled children. It is a fact that in Pune and Mumbai, maximum number of police children indulge in crimes at one point or another. So what the state must be in UP , we can only imagine. So t is no wonder that the police take out their frustrations on the innocent hapless in such grisly manner.

Well, I would prefer Uttam Kumar's Bengali movie to Hindi movie. When he did those very few Hindi movies he was no more a young lad but the Bengali movie-goers have seen his transition from youth to an adult until his death and observed the maturity in his acting too.

UttamKumar is a legend. He and Suchitra sen are considered as the most successful pair in the entire movie world of India. I have seen both his Hindi and Bengali movies.. He remains in the hearts of movie gores not only from Bengal but the entire nation.

Hello @Jeets Oh!Yes, Your words have so rightly expressed the feeling of each and every Indian. Listening to the National Anthem itself is so touchy and when we watch a video like this or the one made in Hindi for the television simply draws our entire attention as long as it's played. Sincerely, language cannot stop us from enjoying our National Anthem.
@usha manohar, I have also heard about this movie so I too want to watch it. You are absolutely right that every language is beautiful. We understand it or not is a different matter but that cannot mar the beauty of it. Some sound so sweet, some sound quite bold and energetic and some has the touch of chanting and so on. The additional benefit is when we understand it then we can relish the depth of the language through its meaning, that's the only difference.
@rambabu Being Bengali I do watch Bengali movies whenever I get an opportunity. Among Bengali heroes I do like Soumitro Chatterjee, Anil Chatterjee, Victor Banerjee, Jishu, Prosanjit (in some movies) but with age I have noticed a great change in me. Day by day I have started liking Late Uttam Kumar due to his versatile acting skill, his lipping, his admirable charm in any kind of outfit, be it dhoti-kurta or western clothes, and it seems he is rightly termed as a legend of Bengali movies.

National Anthem is sung from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. Th is the song that evokes patriotism. It is also sung in every event starting from educational institutions to sports events. It's quite thrilling to see our cricketers, Hockey players to Kabaddi players start their play only after rendering National Anthem with patriotic fervor.
