Dibyendu Bhattacharya, a versatile Indian actor with deep Bengali roots, has carved a niche in theatre, film, and digital media through iconic roles and artistic integrity. Born in Kolkata, his journey began with a shift from cricket to storytelling, followed by formal training at the National School of Drama (NSD), where he honed his craft alongside peers like Irrfan Khan. His theatrical genesis includes 55+ plays and socially charged performances with Jana Natya Manch, establishing his unique stage presence. In cinema, Dibyendu gained recognition with Satya (1998), delivered breakthrough roles like Chunni in Dev.D (2009), and ad-libbed the iconic line “Keh ke loonga!” in Gangs of Wasseypur. His digital acclaim includes Criminal Justice (2019) and The Railway Men, earning awards for portraying Kamruddin, a heroic railway worker during the Bhopal Gas Tragedy. Noteworthy roles span morally complex characters like Sub-Inspector Imtiaz (Ab Tak Chhappan) and Yeda Yakub (Black Friday), alongside supporting figures like sports journalist Debashish Banerjee (Goal). Beyond acting, Dibyendu practices Vipassana meditation, draws inspiration from Buddhist philosophy, and mentors talents like Parineeti Chopra. A connoisseur of Bengali literature and Satyajit Ray’s films, he quietly supports NGOs for child education and rural theatre. His disciplined lifestyle, shaped by overcoming childhood asthma, and versatility across media—including voicing Gollum in Hindi—cement his legacy as a multifaceted artist bridging cultural heritage and contemporary narratives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From being a fringe political party in 2013 to sweeping nearly half of the state s forty-two Lok Sabha seats in 2019, the BJP has gained ground in West Bengal, aided partly by the RSS s exponential growth during Mamata Banerjee's chief ministerial tenure (2011 onwards). With a consistent and concerted criticism of the TMC, the saffron camp managed to create a strong wave of anti-incumbency. So much so that the BJP s prospects of forming the next government in Bengal in 2021 seemed to have brightened considerably, while the Left, which had ruled Bengal for over three decades, appears to have been reduced to a fringe political entity. However, the controversy over the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens, combined with Banerjee s course-correction drive, designed by strategist Prashant Kishor, indicate that she might yet script a turnaround, with Bengal turning into the laboratory of a unique political experiment.  Mission Bengal: A Saffron Experiment (HarperCollins India, 2020) documents the BJP s extraordinary rise in the state and attempts to look at these developments in the historical context of Bengal from the rise of Hindu nationalism and Muslim separatism in the nineteenth century, the Partition and its fallout, the impact of developments in Bangladesh, the influence of leftist ideals on the psyche of the Bengali people, to the demographic changes in the state over the past few decades. About the Author:  Snigdhendu Bhattacharya is a Kolkata-based journalist who has reported for different national media houses including the Hindustan Times, The Wire and Outlook. He has been writing on politics, security, history, socio-economic and cultural affairs since 2005.

Bengali translation of Friday Sermon delivered by Khalifa-tul-Masih on February 14th, 2025 (audio)

Have you ever felt like everyone else is racing ahead while you're stuck in the same place? Trust me, I've been there. In a world where we're constantly bombarded with others' successes, it's easy to look inward and wonder, "What's wrong with me?" Friends, family, and even those closest to us might point out where we're falling short, intensifying that sinking feeling.As someone who is constantly in the public eye, I face this too. There are days when disappointment knocks me down, when criticism feels overwhelming, and when self-doubt creeps in. But over the years, I've learned how to navigate these storms. In this episode, I open my heart to you. I'll share how I've dealt with these moments, how I've shifted my mindset, and how you too can find your footing when life feels like it's slipping away. This isn't just about me—it's about us embarking on a journey to rediscover our inner ingredients. Remember, feeling lost doesn't make you a loser. It's a sign that you're human, and together, we can find our way back to hope and purpose. It's not about never falling—it's about how we rise every single time we fall.Join me, and let's transform that devastating feeling into a powerful force that propels us forward.Alshukran Bandhu,Alshukran Zindagi.

At 59, having acted in over 350 films in 11 languages, I still get asked, "Have you left movies?" or "Why are you not seen in films anymore?" Here's something I want to share with you all. I have traveled far and wide, and explored the ever-expanding world of cinema & social media, you'd think I've seen it all. But the truth is, I'm hungry—hungry for more roles, new experiences, and deeper connections. Every day, I ask myself, “What's next?” Life is an evolving canvas, isn't it? We carry dreams that once defined us—like my dream of visiting Machu Picchu or making my own film. Yet, while some dreams remain unrealized, countless unexpected treasures have unfolded in their place. These hidden gems remind us that the magic of life lies not just in chasing our old dreams but in staying present to the new ones that emerge along the way. In this podcast, I'll share how I navigate life's twists and turns, balancing stand-up comedy, vlogging, motivational speaking, and acting. It's not about juggling; it's about being present in the moment and finding fulfillment in the things that inspire us. Yes, challenges are part of the deal. There are moments when life feels overwhelming, when too many things seem to hold us back. But here's the key: it's not the external circumstances that limit us—it's how we interpret them. By rewiring that internal translator, we can turn obstacles into stepping stones and possibilities into realities.This conversation is just the beginning of a deeper exploration into doing more with your life—living it fully, authentically, and with joy. Let me know in the comments - What inspires you? What's holding you back? Let's start a dialogue, because every step towards the life you dream of begins with a thought, an idea, and the courage to act. Your journey inspires me as much as I hope mine inspires you. If this resonates, don't forget to like, share, and follow on this journey.Let's unlock those hidden opportunities together, my friend. With love and warmth, Ashish Vidyarthi Alshukran Bandhu,Alshukran Zindagi.-----------Subscribe and be a part of My YouTube Family ️️ Ashish Vidyarthi Podcast -    / @ashishvidyarthipodcast  ️ Ashish Vidyarthi Actor Vlogs -    / ashishvidyarthiactorvlogs  ️ Food Khaana With Ashish Vidyarthi -    / foodkhaanawithashishvidyarthi  ️ Anbudan Ashish Vidyarthi -    / anbudanashishvidyarthi   ️ KAHAANI KHATARNAAK GOI WITH ASHISH VIDYARTHI -    / kahaanikhatarnaakgoibyashishvidyarthi   Press the bell icon to be the first one to get notified each time I upload a new video.--------Come, be a part of my online family : https://linktr.ee/Ashishvidyarthiअगर आपको मेरे वीडियो पसंद आए हैं तो कृपया सब्सक्राइब करें Iमेरे साथ जुड़ें, मेरे ऑनलाइन परिवार का हिस्सा बनें : https://linktr.ee/Ashishvidyarthi--------About: Namaskar, I am Ashish Vidyarthi.

Today I talked to Ben Baer and Smaran Dayal about About Spider-Mother: The Fiction and Politics of Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain.  Pioneering Indian Muslim feminist Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain wrote speculative fiction, manifestoes, radical reportage, and incisive essays that transformed her experience of enforced segregation into unique interventions against gender oppression everywhere. Her radical imagination links the realities of living in a British colony to the technological and scientific breakthroughs of her time, the effects of hauntingly pervasive systems of sexual domination, and collective dreams of the future, forging a visionary, experimental body of work. Alongside Rokeya's pathbreaking feminist science fiction story “Sultana's Dream,” this volume features fresh and exciting new translations of her key Bengali writings and a superbly informative introduction to her life and work. If her contemporary B. R. Ambedkar urged the “annihilation of caste,” Rokeya demands nothing less than the annihilation of sexism, with education as the primary instrument of this revolution. Her brilliant wit and creativity reflect profoundly on the complexities of undoing deep-seated gender supremacy and summon her readers to imagine hitherto undreamed freedoms. ROKEYA SAKHAWAT HOSSAIN (1880–1932) was born in present-day Bangladesh, then part of colonial India. Despite being deprived of formal education, she became a prominent writer, activist, and educator. The web of her life spanned from the minutiae of running a girls' school in Kolkata to struggles for women's emancipation on the national and world stage.

Brown is so beautiful: natural and warm and sturdy, it reminds us of coffee and tea, trees and stones, antique furniture, fine leathers, furry friends, and, in the case of our chosen projects, the symbol of legal authority (khaki) and ageless history (old papers and ruins). Pitu watched Vikramaditya Motwane's new series Black Warrant (2025) and Beth watched the Bengali archaeology adventure Guptodhoner Sondhane (2018). Tell us what films you think of when you think of brown? And what amazing chocolatey or baked good do you like to eat while watching? PS Beth is dressed like a wooly acorn because it's -16 C where she lives.

We travel to colonial Bengal and encounter the idle rich, a bejeweled beauty, a perennially bemused bumpkin, and a sparkly, sprightly lady - and of course a crumbling haveli with bad juju. In this episode we discuss Saheb Bibi Golam (Bengali, 1956) and Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam (Hindi, 1962).

Anything sung in the praise of the Lord is śruti-mantra. There are songs of Ṭhākura Narottama dāsa, one of the ācāryas in the Gauḍīya sampradāya, composed in simple Bengali language. But Ṭhākura Viśvanātha Cakravartī, another very learned ācārya of the same sampradāya, has approved the songs by Ṭhākura Narottama dāsa to be as good as Vedic mantras. And this is so because of the subject matter.

This is the relationship with the Lord and His devotees. The Lord is always trying to satisfy His devotees, and the devotees are always trying to satisfy the Lord. And there's a competition going on constantly in that way. And so, when Caitanya Mahāprabhu, took sannyās and left this place, some of the devotees decamped. They went elsewhere. They said, 'What's the use? It's dead. Everything's gone.' And now, we see them even dress Mahāprabhu up with all kinds of fancy clothes and bring him all kinds of foodstuffs. Nobody worships him as a sannyāsī, especially here. The devotees come from Navadvīpa, and you can watch how he's a village deity. Everyone just walks in. There's no pomp and circumstances. It's not like going to see Vēṅkaṭēśvara in Tirupati. I went there the last time I was there, the devotees reminded me. They said, 'Don't stay long because you gotta walk through fast and be very reverent, and you go in very carefully.' I walked up, got to the end of the line sfter an hour. I walked in. I was just about to turn the corner, and the Pujari grabbed me from behind, and he turned me back around again. He said, 'See God.' I'm seeing him. I'm seeing him. I thought, maybe this is enough. So I started to leave again. He pulled me back again in and said, 'See God.' And I finally walked out. But here we were, a few years ago, and there was a woman in the afternoon. She was down on this level, and she was just talking to Dhāmeśvar. We asked what she was saying, and one of the devotees who knew Bengali said, 'She's asking him why he's not wearing his hair.' Today, it is a village temple. They come in, and they just see him as one of ours. He's our hometown hero. They don't see God. They see this is Mahāprabhu. He's our hero.
