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।

Brendan MacCarthaigh & Sonia Bhattacharyya
Where the Teacher is at EaseExplains that to be an inspirational teacher, it is important to have the right attitude along with content knowledge. Education is not only about how much information to impart or the acquisition of facts but learning how to make facts alive.
Good teaching cannot be reduced to merely technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher. It joins self and subject and students in the fabric of life.

ANANDA K COOMARASWAMY
The Indian CraftsmanClosely associated with the Tagore family of Jorasanko and the Swadeshi movement of Bengal, this eminent art-historian of the early twentieth century did not discriminate the art of the rural folk with the great religious arts of the rich and urban people. He saw it as conscientious expression of both the artisans as well as the civilization that nurtured it. Creativity of an ordinary earthen pot was equally valuable to him as with that of a gigantic temple. This is a rare and important book by Coomaraswamy who is regarded as the successor of Blake, Ruskin and William Morris in aesthetic point of view.

Education in search of a philosophyEducation’ has its roots in `e‘ and `ducere‘, which together mean: `to draw out’. School derives from `skhole‘ or leisure. But what is this human potential to be leisurely drawn out?
Marjorie Sykes points out that wise planning in education depends upon a clear understanding of the nature and goal of the human individual; and of the nature and values of the society of which he is a part.
The unexamined life is not worth living, said Socrates. The great gurus of ancient India stimulated independent inquiry. Gautama the Buddha warned his disciples against accepting “truths” on any external authority, even his own.
Our revolution must thus begin with the encouragement of independent inquiry, with what Tagore called “the education of the mind in self-reliance”. Open-mindedness and understanding are closely linked, for open-mindedness means the encouragement of independent reflection.
“Building from below” by means of a plurality of centres of local responsibility, … was the central theme of the socio-political philosophy of Gandhi, and is the basis of sarvodaya. Vinoba Bhave laid special stress on the need for education to be free from state control.
The purpose of the essays in the book Education in Search of a Philosophy is not to supply answers, but to indicate the nature of the questions involved.
Marjorie Sykes, the great educationist, came to India, while still young. She worked with Gandhi, and was deeply influenced by the thoughts of Tagore, Gandhi and Vinoba Bhave on education. She is also the author of ‘The Story of Nai Talim’ – outlining Gandhi’s vision of education.
