The Bangla Academy has given Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee a special award for her unwavering commitment to Bengali literature. Ratna Rashid Bandyopadhyay, a prominent writer and scholar, protested by returning the Annadashankar Smarak award he got in 2019.
“I shall return my honour in protest of the Bangla Academy’s absurd decision,” Ratna Rashid remarked of the return of his Annadashankar honour. What is the benefit of possessing a book? Isn’t there a standard for the book? Wouldn’t we expect our Chief Minister, an honourable guy, to make a more mature decision? Why would he accept such an honour, even if it were offered to him?

Ratna Rashid has done extensive research on a variety of subjects, including Muslim wedding melodies. Numerous pieces; story writer Ratna has won 30 awards. In 2019, he was awarded the Annadashankar Commemorative Honor. The splendour of this prize was not preserved, as stated in the reason. A literary endeavour. Politics has nothing to do with our decision.
In 2019, Ratna Rashid earned the Annadashankar Memorial Award, according to her. Literature criterion should be used to determine rewards. However, the way in which the Chief Minister received the Bangla Academy Award yesterday created a very dangerous precedent. Bengali literature practitioners and labourers have been insulted.
“Bangla Academy President and Hon’ble Education Minister Bratya Basu made it clear from the platform yesterday that this is a three-year award,” poet Subodh Sarkar said of the return of Ratna Rashid Bandyopadhyay’s Annadashankar Memorial. It has been giving since this year. This award is known as the West Bengal Bangla Academy Award. It will be granted to those who play a significant social role while also being active in the literary world.
The prize will be decided by a High Power Committee based on these two attributes. Mamata Banerjee has been chosen this time. It is now a personal matter if one writer rejects another writer’s award. I’m not sure.
