Kinchit Itihascharcha

Aamar tin dhoroner porichoy aachhe. Oporichiter kachhe oporichito, olpo-porichiter kachhe unnashik, oti-porichiter kachhe bachal. E golpo ti er agey konodin oti-porichiter gondi topkate parini, tai aajo eta sudhui amar bachalotar sakkhyo bohon kore cholchhe.

Golper sthan, kal o patro bichare ami kinchit swadhinota dabi korechhilam. Judhher bajare seta beshi na kom chhilo, torkosapekhho. Aami jakhon kar kotha bolchhi judhho ta oboshyo sobey suru hoy hoy. Ta boley e golpo judhher golpo noy. E golpe keui judhhe jaini, borong judhho theke shoto hosto durey jetey cheyechhilo.

Ke ekjon sedin eshe bairer ghore bollechhilo kolkata te naki boma porte parey, omni hurdour lege gelo. Thakur der ekta bari chhilo Potashgorh-e. Shorgol ta jakhon besh jNeke bosechhe, Rabindranath (takhon tini besh bikhyato, saheb ra kisob mosto puroskar diyechhilo takey kodin agei) pari dilen Potashgorh. Ae golpo ta ami prothom bolechhilam Tarini ke. O itihasher chhatro ar boka boka proshno korar ekta batik aachhe. Boley kina map e naki orokom kono jayga nei. Golpo ta to agey shon tobey to bujhbi keno map e nei. Aar tachhara map-e ki aachhe r ki nei tatey ki eshe jaye. Amar bandhu chhilo chittobrata, chhotobelate bhugol er khata te bharatbarsher er je map joma diyechhilo seta baire prokash peley amader samrajyobadi-birodhi tokma te jor aaghat lagto. Jotdur mone porey Pakistan to botei, khal kete Chitto Afghanistan eo thaba bariye diyechhilo. To potashgorh je map e nei tatey ami temon obak hoini. Tobey itihas er boi theke muchhe gechhe etai dukhher.

Ta se jai hok, Potashgorh er naam ta keno Potashgorh chhilo amar aar aj mone nei. Sekhane dekhbar moto kichhui praye chhilo na, ja chhilo ta holo ek bishal jongol. Natorer raja ra sekhane praysoi shikar korte jeto. Tao se onek lok-loskor sathe niye. Noito diner belatei ja ondhokar bhetore dhoke kar sadhyi. Dhukto kebol Bonkubihari ar tar khan koy posha chhagol. Aamar driro biswas bonkubabur aadhyatmik bodh probol chhilo. Jodio saat gNayer manush takey pagol bolei mone korto. Kashminkaleo tar kono bandhubandhob chhilo na oi bewarish chhagol koikhani chhara. Kintu Banku babu jongole jeten thik chhagol chorate noy. Jotodur jenechhilam tar ekti hNukolabh hoyechhilo. Banku babu shesh bikeler dikey jongol-e dhuke nibhrite dhumropan korten. Amake oneke proshno korechhe hNuko ta koththeke elo, Bankubabu ke jonogol-ei ba jetey hoy keno dumpaan er janyo ---- kintu amar e golpo kono adalatnama noy, itihas porikhhar uttorpatro o noy, e proshner uttor debar daye amar nei.

Aami jedin er kotha bolchhi, sedin ta chhilo onnanyo diner motoi. Bikel praye shesh hoy hoy. Samoy ta sheetkaal, thandao porechhilo jNakiye. Ekti besh purono botgahcher tolate Banku babu guchhiye bosey hNuko tanchhilen. Aamej tao aschhe besh gobhirbhabe. Kintu koththeke je ki hoye gelo. Sedin jongol-e dhukechhilen Banku babu chharao aro ekjon. Aamader Rabindranath. Hotath kore Banku babu dekhlen chokher samne odbhutdorshon kichhu ekta dariye. Bankubabu takey chinten kina jani na, tobey sheet er shesh bikele aalo boro kom thake. Rabindranath chhilen deerghodehi, tar opor porechhilen ek bishom kalo bedhop aakritir ek jobba. Banku babu etodiner jibonchakre ae poriborton chhilo sompurno oprotyashito. Haat theke hNuko khose porlo, Banku babu baakrohit hoye gelen. Banku babu ke ami dosh di na, oi shesh bikeler aalo te oi odbhutdorshon murti amadero bhoy dhorate parto. Kintu ekhetre fol ta holo bhoyaboho. Chhilim er aagun chhitke porlo ek rash shukno patar opor. Jongol e er ageo dui bar agun legechhilo, kintu ebarer aagun chhilo bhoyonkor. Gota jongol jurey chhorie chhilo mora gaachh ar shukno pata. Dau dau kore jwolte laglo aagun. Puro ek maas dhore dekha gechhilo aaguner sikha, shesh hoye gechhilo puro jongol.

Aami Tarini ke bollam bujhli keno tor map e aj kono Potashgorh dekha jaye na. Bidhi baam. Or sondeho tateo katey na. Boley Rabi thakur to koi likhe jaan ni e kotha. Rabi thakur likhle ja bishwasjogyo hotey parto, ami bolate tatey jeno chona pore gechhe. Kintu Rabindranath likhe gechhilen e ghotonar kotha. Oi dabanol er obhiggyota tar money deerghokalin probhab rekhechhilo. Ekti gaan likhechhilen,

Ore bhai aagun legeche bone bone
Daale dale fule fole pata-e pata-e re
Aarale aarale kone kone…

Sey gaan chhapte gechhilo patrikaye, Bharati press-e typesetting er kaaj korten amader Tara da. Tara da kaaj er manush chhilen, konodino fNaki denni kebol chokhe samanyo ektu ja kom dekhten ratrer dikey. Chhapar samoye ekti aagun je fagun hoye gechhilo ta Tara dar nojor eriechhilo. Porey ami ramapada (Tarapada dar chhele) ke jiggesh korechhilam emon bhul ki Tara da adou korte paren. Rama bollo babar biye hoyechhilo fagun masey, amar jonmo o fagunei. Babar ektu fagun-priti chhilo. Kintu bhul ti to besh gurutoro. Showong Rabindranath ta songshodhon korlen na??

                Ichchhe-Hara

Ichchhe gulo ichchhe moto ore
        onichchheteo amay sathe kore,
jakhon takhon bhangchhe tar dana,
        urbe tobu, sunbe nako mana |
jotoi dhori lagam chepe tar,
        palie beray, hodis mela bhar |
ekdin se amay diye faNki,
        hariye jaye hiseb rekhe baki |
Aaj hotath bhabte ichchhe hoy,
        kemon kore haralo sesamoy?
