For the revered singer-songwriter, the affection from Bangladeshis is not tied to material gain. "I have nothing to gain from Bangladesh, no money or favors," he said. "Yet the love they give me feels as if the army would need to be called just to control the crowds." It is a sentiment that resonates deeply with his personal journey — a journey where the bonds of language, culture, and shared history outweigh the barriers of politics and geography.
Recently, several Indian news outlets reported alleged "persecution" of minorities in Bangladesh. This misinformation has sparked protests in various parts of India, including West Bengal. In an unfortunate escalation, the Assistant High Commission of Bangladesh in Agartala was attacked, with miscreants vandalising the premises and tearing down the Bangladeshi flag on Monday.
