"They stood up together to protect the honor of the sound that issued from the lips of a new-born babe churning the very core of his existence, the utterance that sanctified for him his first lesson of humanity" (~ Hasan Hafizur Rahaman ~)

There are certain days which remain ever memorable and sacred to certain communities. This applies to the 21st February. On this very day the people of East Bengal attained martyrdom by fomenting a revolution to save Bengali language as the official language of their country.

During World War II, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose took the opportunity to unite all the Indians of Southeast Asia and declare war against Britain in order to free India from the clutches of British imperialism by military power. However, Nehru and the Indian communists began a propaganda campaign against Netaji, slandering his character by describing him as "Tojo's dog", and as a result he could not achieve the requisite support from the Indian masses and was forced to retreat from Mairang and Manipur. Finally, due to the surrender of Japan, he went underground using the cover of a plane crash on 18th August, 1945. However, the mystery of his disappearance has to this day remained a mystery, due to the secrecy of Nehru and his successors.

The greatest proof that someone is a developed person is that person's refined taste and subtlety based on his or her intelligence and wisdom. A person comes to be a philosopher when that person studies his or her environment and thereby learns to see his or her inner self. This very Ráŕh presented human society the first philosopher, who was none other than Maharshi Kapil. He wanted to get to the bottom of the mystery of creation and bring the causal factors of the universe within a framework of a theory of numbers. We in today's world cannot imagine how much self-confidence and inner daring it took for a person to do this. Maharshi Kapil was born in a certain place near Jhalda in Ráŕh. He came to the highest philosophical realization at Gangasagar, on the Bay of Bengal, at the furthest extremity of Samatat in Ráŕh.

MEENA (1956-1987) was born on February 27, 1956 in Kabul. During her school days, students in Kabul and other Afghan cities were deeply engaged in social activism and rising mass movements. She left the university to devote herself as a social activist to organizing and educating women. In pursuit of her cause for gaining the right of freedom of expression and conducting political activities, Meena laid the foundation of RAWA in 1977. This organization was meant to give voice to the deprived and silenced women of Afghanistan.

The task for this paper is to locate the works of Shrii P. R. Sarkar in a range of classification schemes and at the same time to make these schemes themselves problematic. In general, we find Sarkar's works exemplary for the following reasons. In terms of economy, his work is strong on both growth and distribution dimensions. Sarkar is also eclectic in his theory of political-economy drawing on market and regulatory mechanisms. Alienation is a result not of private property but of the concentration of wealth and of the location of the self in a materialistic paradigm. Sarkar's Prout manages to satisfy survival, wellbeing, identity and freedom needs. Market models are strong on freedom but weak on wellbeing (especially at the periphery). Local "small is beautiful" models are strong on survival, wellbeing and identity but weak on the freedom dimension. Sarkar also takes an eclectic model of epistemology having a range of ways of knowing the world. He also takes a layered "deep and shallow" view of the nature of reality. Finally, and this is the centerpiece of the argument, Sarkar's social theory combines linear, cyclical and transcendental dimensions, thus avoiding cultural exploitation and fatalism, and accentuating ancient, modern and postmodern constructions of the social and the economic.

On the occasion of the birth anniversary of Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, founder of the new economic model called PROUT, we would like to dedicate this day to the victims of economic, political and environmental terrorism everywhere, and simultaneously make the commitment to work ceaselessly for the economic, political and cultural liberation of all peoples. A new dawn is rising. It is time to start political parties and socio-economic movements in every nation, to fight corporate hegemonies and usher in a new golden era for humanity.
