Organic RevolutionThis remarkable story demolishes the myth that organic farming can never feed the world! Holistically adopted, it can also revitalise society, enhance the environment and safeguard future generations. In the current raging debate over urban-industrial uprootment of farmers, here is one example the world cannot ignore. After the Soviet Union collapsed – and the US tightened its embargo – Cuba’s Organic Revolution began suddenly, under compulsion. A decade later, in 1999, the Swedish Parliament presented the Right Livelihood Award, or ‘Alternative Nobel Prize’, to the Cuban Organic Farming Association – for “showing that organic agriculture is a key to both food security and environmental sustainability.” Today, not only has Cuba’s productivity increased, its economy, health, education, energy efficiency, water security, … are all big gainers. In 2006, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the Global Footprint Network declared: Cuba is the only country on earth to achieve sustainable development! The American Journal of Public Health reported a 45% decline in cardiovascular diseases. Cuba’s bio-diverse agro-ecology and forest cover exceeding 25% also counter global warming. “Increasingly, people came to believe that productive, healthy harvests could be obtained on positive cost-benefit terms, while protecting the environment, … without excessive energy use.” – Dr. Fernando F. Aguilar, President, GAO, Organic Farming Association of Cuba “Cuba offers the very first large-scale test of sustainable alternatives, … before environmental realities mandate the rest of the world embark on a sudden, wholesale switch to organic agriculture.” – Dr. P. Rosset, Director, ‘Food First’, Institute for Food & Development Policy, Washington, USA “… Cuba is creating something truly new and hopeful for all of humanity.” -Prof. R. Levins, Harvard University School of Public Health.

Esoteric Cults of Consort Worship in BengalFrom the very days of inception woman breeds a sense of fear as well as devotion in the minds of man due to her mysterious relation with the process of creation. Worshiping woman as a symbol of power of creation and fertility also started from then. At the preliminary stage woman was worshiped as mother. Later, as man also found himself as a contributor in this process of creation, woman was worshiped as companion. The author gives a description of these confined cults which are practiced in different parts of Bengal in India for a long time. Before thirty five years this paper drew the attention of Mircea Eliade, Dineshchandra Sarkar, Atul Sur, Mazharul Islam and Mikhail Nalizevski when it was published for the first time in the ‘Folklore’ journal.

এখন আমাদের দেশে নিষেধের বিধান। এই খাবার খাওয়া বারণ। এই পশুর মাংস নিষিদ্ধ। মদ বিক্রি করা চলবে না। এই চলচ্চিত্রে এই দৃশ্য বাদ দিতে হবে। এই বিষয় নিয়ে কোন বই লেখা নিষেধ। এমন ছবি আঁকা যাবে না। এমন খবর ছাপা চলবে না। অমুকের বিরুদ্ধে কিছু বলা বারণ। এই ধরনের কোন কথা বললে দেশদ্রোহী কিংবা দেশ ছেড়ে চলে যেতে হবে। অথবা ছবি পুড়িয়ে দেওয়া হবে, বা মুখে কালি লাগিয়ে দেওয়া হবে, বই বন্ধ করে দেওয়া হবে, অথবা গুলি করে মেরে ফেলা হবে। এ সবই ক্ষমতায় আসীনদের নির্দেশ। ধর্মীয় ক্ষমতাসীন, রাজনৈতিক ক্ষমতাসীন, সাংস্কৃতিক ক্ষমতাসীন। এমন সবের বিরুদ্ধে প্রতিবাদও চলছে। প্রতিবাদের নানা ধরন। এমন একটি ধরন নিয়েই এই লেখা। ধরনটির নাম কার্টুন। তবে এখনকার আঁকা কার্টুন নয়, অনেকদিন আগের আঁকা। সেই ১৯১০ আর ১৯২০— এই দুই দশকের। এঁকেছিলেন গগনেন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর। যার হাত ধরে বাংলায় ছবি আর কার্টুনের আধুনিকতা আসা।এই লেখাটিতে গগনেন্দ্রনাথের সেই ক’টি কার্টুন আনা, যার বিষয় আর এখনকার বিষয়, যে-বিষয়টি নিয়ে এই লেখাটিতে বলা, তার মিল। আশ্চর্য মিল।
