Poets, writers and thinkers from Tripura write a letter against vandalism at Tagore's home in Bangladesh

Poets, authors, and thinkers wrote to Bangladesh Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus on Thursday in response to demonstrations against an attack on Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral home in Bangladesh, calling for "exemplary punishment" for those responsible for the "shameful and condemnable" act.
Through the West Tripura district magistrate's office, a letter signed by distinguished literary scholars Professors Mihir Deb and Ratul Debbarman, Bibhu Bhattacharya, painter, mime artist, and Sangeet Natak Academy awardee Swapan Nandy, and Professor Mujahid Rahman was sent. It is anticipated that the letter will then be forwarded to the Assistant High Commission of Bangladesh in Agartala.

The letter is later expected to be forwarded to Dhaka by the Assistant High Commission.
The letter's signatories claimed that Tripura, which has a long history with Tagore and has hosted him on multiple occasions, was the source of their concern.

   “Rabindranath Tagore is the consciousness that encircles all our inspirations, awareness. He is a beacon holder of global thought, rising above the narrow barriers of language, identity, religion, colour. We celebrate him every day through the national anthem. We believe with all our heart that everything which share his memory are of pride for us. Insult or disrespect to Rabindranath Tagore – whether it is in our country or elsewhere, is shameful and condemnable, unpardonable,” reads the letter.
