It’s our pleasure to present you the
March, 11 issue (Volume Viii;Issue iii) of
PRAGYAN . Pragyan has completed eight (8)Successful years of its existence with this
issue.
We have dedicated the issue to commemorate the hundred and fiftieth birth centenary of Great Indian Poet Rabindranath Tegore. We are happy enough that two of famous Assamese writer and Cultural Activist Harendra Nath Barthakur, (a co-activist of Bhishnu Prashad Rabha) and Prafulla Gogoi have written two thought provoking articles on the poet in Assamese. While Harendranath Barthakur has made a comparative study on Rabindranath Tegore and Jyoti Prashad Agarwala (The great Assamese Poet, Dramatist, Filmmaker and Cultural activist) Prafulla Gogoi has attempted to read again his famous ‘Rashiar Chithi’( Letter from Russia) Two of the prominent modern and contemporary Bengali poet Saptarshi Biswas and Aniraban Dharitripura also penned down two Bengali pieces this time on Tegore. While Saptarshi Biswas has tried to understand Rabindranath from the view point of another post- Ranindranath great Bengali poet Jibananada Das, Anirban Dharitriputra has contributed a poem in his unique style and genre. Debananda Bhattacharjya, one of our colleague from the college also contributed one English write up on the poet and his humanism. The American Educationist Joseph Landsberger continues to write on Study Guides and Strategies. This time he has written on ‘Time Management’ The same translation by Bantimala Devi and the Bengali Translation by Sushanta Kar will again appear in his own site. | One important addition to this issue is that Anjal Bora, a young Assamese research scholar and XOBDO activist, has started to write a regular column on how and why to write Assamese on net. Prashanta Bora is continuing with his career tips ‘Notes for Freshers’ Among other attractions, we hope readers would love to read a few more write up on women causes. Since the previous issue was women centric we couldn’t accommodate a few valuable write up then, and have placed those here in this issue. Have a pleasant reading here!
