"Death, Intellectuality and Mindset of the Bengali"
"Death, Intellectuality and Mindset of the Bengali"
Our country is a peculiar country. After a heroic man dies, his dignity appears as an academic and national value. But why this happens remains a valuable question.After his death, the nation realizes what it has lost. Mourn culture begins alongside academic practice on him. Does the Bangalis' mentality seem ludicrous? Academic researchers, essayists, columnists, and poets exercise intellectual practices focusing on him. What is its ultimate result? It is easy to say. The heroic martyr has met a heroic death against fascist and Indian hegemony, raising his indomitable voice and awakening Bangalis' conscience against hegemonic ideology.Researchers will follow research methodology in shaping the idea; essayists and columnists will shape the idea into their prescribed structure; poets use poetic literary terms in shaping the idea.Ultimately, everyone thinks of their own job, not the martyr. If they thought otherwise, the repetition in our indigenous political context would not occur. If authentic intellectual practices in any form were practiced, the hegemonic resistance could not occur. Abra Fahad, Abu Sayed, Osman Hadi–the successive deaths could not occur. Intellectual practices are conducted in pursuit of academic excellence and fame, not societal excellence.Today we are mourning Hadi on digital media; we are writing about him; we are probably going to conduct research on him. But after a few days, this sense will disappear. History will be repeated, and the same intellectual practices will be conducted. Bangalis will not come out of this prescribed, history-repeated structure; that is the inherent attitude of Bangali.
