For Tagore birth anniversary, India and Bangladesh plan joint celebrations

For Tagore birth anniversary, India and Bangladesh plan joint celebrations

Joint commemoration of the 150th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore, a Tagore tourist circuit, Robi Tirtha, dramatisation of his works and feature films on him, and expansion of terms of the 1972 cultural agreement — these were the issues discussed by Culture Secretaries of India and Bangladesh on Thursday.

The joint commemoration of Tagore’s birth anniversary will begin in Dhaka on May 6 and in India the next day. This will be followed by a range of joint programmes, including painting exhibitions, cultural events, scholar retreats and seminars till May 2012.

‘Robi Tirath’ will include three sites in Bangladesh, including Zamindari headquarters on Padma river where Tagore spent some of the most productive years of his life, Shantiniketan and his ancestral home at Jorasanko. Secretary, Culture, Jawahar Sircar, said the government will try to rope in travel operators to work out tour packages for these sites.

Sircar also said the government was looking at two proposals from prominent filmmakers to make a feature film on Tagore and a decision would be taken soon. Documentaries on Tagore, including the one by Satyajit Ray, are also being revived and subtitled.

Culture Secretary of Bangladesh, Suraiya Begum, said that while they have identified areas for collaboration, there was scope to “further expand and enhance this cooperation”.

The two countries have also decided to cooperate in the areas of monuments and archeology,museums, films and media, visual arts, library and archival records, and development of a Buddhist circuit.
 
A special VIP invitation will be sent out to Al Zakir. Such a fan of Tagore that he is.

That train moved all over the India last year. It was stopped in my small town too for 2 days :)
