I was also deeply impressed to see Prof. Selim Munshi's image on your page with his very valuable and direct opinions. About forty years ago I was a student of Selim Munshi...our "Selim'da"...at Patha-Bhavan, Santiniketa. I still remember him as a forthright man, who was/is never afraid to speak plain truth.<br /><br />What Selim'da tells about Visva-Bharati is entirely TRUE. If someone cares to visit the archives of the Statesman, Kolkata, or any other newspaper, one knows for sure that all these years Visva-Bharati remained in news for the wrong reasons, mostly. There have been cases of countless unsolved thefts [the jewel in the crown being Tagore's Nobel medallion], cheatings, forgery, goondaism and what not...! In retrospect one is forced to wonder why the hell our government squanders such crores and crores of tax-payer's money apparently to keep up a sham "legacy" where they have raped the ideals of Rabindranath Tagore decades ago...?!Satyasri Ukilhttp://www.chitralekha.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228791230574568247.post-27745628720394811022010-01-03T08:43:09.271-08:002010-01-03T08:43:09.271-08:00hello Mr. Chowla,
