Congress Accuses PM Modi of ‘Erasing’ Tagore’s Legacy
On Monday, the Congress held Prime Minister Narendra Modi responsible for the removal of Rabindranath Tagore’s name from recently erected plaques at Visva-Bharati University in West Bengal. The Congress claimed that Modi was seeking the “erasure” of the late poet, just as he had done with Jawahar Lal Nehru. The plaques honor PM Modi as “Acharya,” but they exclude the name of the university’s founder, Tagore.
Congress responded to the dispute by labelling PM Modi the “chief peddler of fear, hate, and division” and implying that he was insane.
Famously, Rabindranath Tagore declared, “My Motherland, I claim freedom from fear for you.” The main propagandist of hatred, fear, and division today has completely ignored Tagore and dubbed himself “Acharya” at the illustrious Shantiniketan! “Illusion has no boundaries,” he posted on X
September saw the addition of Shantiniketan town, in Bengal’s Birbhum district, where Tagore constructed Visva-Bharati more than a century ago, to UNESCO’s list of world historic sites.
Temporary Plaques at Visva-Bharati University
The plaques are only meant to be temporary. They were recently erected to designate the historical place. The university’s spokesperson, Mahua Banerjee, stated that new ones with inscriptions provided by the Archaeological Survey of India and UNESCO would replace the old ones.
