Description
DAVID J. McCUTCHION
Unpublished Letters and Selected Articles
Compiled and edited by Suhridkumar Bhowmick
Bengalis should forever be indebted to this man from England. Due to his premature death he could not publish his entire works on the temples of Bengal along with some selfless research-workers, traveling to the most treacherous remote corners of Bengal. He also had a keen interest in ‘Pat’ of Bengal. Once his student, Sri Suhrid Bhowmik became his travel and research associate in the later part. David wrote a number of letters to Bhowmik, and this book is uniquely enriched with about 70 priceless letters written by David over a decade to him. Beside this the book contains some invaluable writings on the temples of Bengal, about comparative religion, two unpublished articles on the struggle of East Bengal of that period and also a lot of unpublished photographs taken by David. A book to be worth collected.

BHOLANATH BHATTACHARYA
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.

দেওয়াল লেখার আত্মকথা‘একটা দেওয়াল। দেওয়ালের সামনে দাঁড়িয়ে আছি আমি, আমরা, কমরেড, পার্টি। দেওয়ালে শাদা রঙের পোঁচ লাগিয়ে দিচ্ছে আমাদের বিশ্বাস। গুঁড়ো নীলে সুতলি চুবিয়ে লাইন দাগিয়ে দিচ্ছে আমাদের স্বপ্ন। রঙ-ভরা টিন ধরে থাকছে আমাদের রাজনীতি। এগিয়ে দিচ্ছে আমাদের লড়াই। দেওয়ালে আঁকা হয়ে যাচ্ছে আমাদের মুক্তাঞ্চল। আমাদের দেশ। ওয়ালিং শেষ করে মুঠো-করা হাত তুলে বলে উঠলাম, লাল সেলাম।’ এই ভাবে সত্তরের আগুন-ঝরা দিনে দেওয়াল লেখার মন মেজাজ ভয় উদ্বেগ আনন্দ থেকে তার রীতি প্রকরণ রাজনীতি ও নন্দনতত্ত্ব পর্যন্ত বিশদ করেছেন লেখক। এ তাঁর একার আত্মকথা নয় তাই, হয়ে উঠেছে সময়েরই সচিত্র আত্মকথন।
