Bangla language padatik poet late Subhash Mukhopadhyay’s 100th birth anniversary.

Courteous greetings on the occasion of centenary birth anniversary of Bangla language famous poet Late Subhash Mukhopadhyay. Subhash’s writings broke away from the traditional moorings of the establishment poets, and instead addressed the despair and disillusion felt by the common people. He remained throughout his life an advocate of the indivisibility of the Bengali people and Bengali culture. His radical activism continued unabated. Subhash’s poetry evolved into something more personal and introspective. The lyricism of Phul phutuk na phutuk, aaj Boshonto, one of his most famous poems.

In 1940, while still a student, he published his first volume of poetry Padatik (The Foot-Soldier).^[ Many critics regard this book as a milestone in the development of modern Bengali poetry. It represented a clear departure from the earlier Kallol generation of poets; and Subhash’s distinctive, direct voice, allied with his technical skill and radical world-view, gained him great popularity. In his poetry, Subhash grappled with the massive upheavals of that era which ruptured Bengali society from top to bottom.
