2015 is an important year in the history of indian theatre , for it is the birth centenary of thespian sombhu mitra , the legendary indian stage and film actor , director , playwright , elocutionist . there is little archival material , however , on him or his oeuvre . xtra ! catches up his daughter shaoli mitra for a tête - à - tête to understand the life and times of the pioneer of modern bengali theatre , whose life was fraught with controversy
after being home for 61 years , thespian manoj mitra’s theatre group sundaram was evicted from 57 jatin das road under court orders on thursday .
“we are planning a range of events and activities to celebrate tagore’s 150th birth anniversary , which will go on till ponchishe baisakh next year , ” said shaoli mitra , the chairperson of the rabindra shardhoshato janmabarsha udjapon samiti , on tuesday . “but our focus right now is implementing various programmes to commemorate baishey srabon between august 7 and 9 . ”
the names listed were those of ravi shankar , actress suchitra sen , hockey legend leslie claudius , writers shirshendu mukhopadhyay and sanjib chattopadhyay , theatre veterans rudraprasad sengupta , bibhash chakraborty and shaoli mitra , painter jogen chowdhury , shehnai exponent ustad ali ahmed hussain khan , actor ranjit mallick , film director goutam ghose , poet joy goswami and vocalist pandit ajoy chakrabarty .
“we want to engage people from all sections of society and so the entry to all the venues is free and open to all , ” said mitra .
“there will be canvases kept on the shahid minar ground for people to write or sketch on . we will end with bauls singing tagore songs , ” said mitra .
the legends who received the banga vibhusan - the highest civilian award of bengal - included bengali actress suchitra sen , hockey player leslie claudius , painter jogen choudhury , theatre personalities rudraparasad sengupta , bhibhas chakraborty , shaoli mitra , writer shirshendu mukhopadhyay , sanjib chattopadhyay , national award winning filmmaker goutam ghosh , poet joy goswami , actor ranjit mullick , classical singer ajoy chakraborty and shehnai exponent ustad ali ahmed hussein khan .
“tagore passed away on august 7 , 1941 , and therefore we chose to organise the grand procession on this date though baishey srabon is on august 8 this year , ” mitra said .
in 1943 , he joined indian people ' s theatre association ( ipta ) . in 1944 , several old theatrical conventions were broken when the play navanna written by bijon bhattacharya and co - directed by sombhu mitra for ipta was staged . in 1948 , sombhu mitra formed a new theatre group , bohurupee in kolkata , which ushered the group - theatre movement in west bengal .
“consortium for books and culture , india , is organising the fair that will comprise all kinds of books and publications on tagore and his works . there will be exhibitions and an open - air stage for cultural performances every evening , ” said mitra .
the five government - run auditoriums — rabindra sadan , sisir mancha , girish mancha , madhusudan mancha and minerva theatre — will host tagore - related performances on august 8 and 9 . discussions featuring jaya mitra and srikanto acharywill be held in the evenings at the bangla akademi .
some say the family friction between the mitras was intentionally used to oust sombhu mitra from bohurupee… family friction couldn’t have been the reason for such a decision . my parents were far too professional and knew how to go beyond all those issues . in fact , they worked together despite their separation .
& apos ; unlike the manasamangal , where god takes centre stage , mymensingha geetika is all about people . here , chandrabati talks about how religious dogmas are suppressing her love , and we haven & apos ; t tried to give it a modern perspective , & apos ; says director manish mitra .
& apos ; i have not deviated from tagore and have not added anything on my own either . the untouchability issue is there but i have also harped on the individual & apos ; s personal aspiration . the piece starts with the song chokkhe aamar trishna and ends with pather ki achhe sheshe . i wanted to explore what lies beyond , at the end , & apos ; says shaoli , who has directed chandali and also essayed the role of ma .
under sombhu mitra ' s direction , the bohurupee staged several successful productions . in december 1950 , the bohurupee presented three plays in the new empire theatre – tulsi lahiri ' s pathik and chenda tar and sombhu mitra ' s own creation , ulukhagra . in 1954 , rabindranath tagore ' s rakta karabi was staged by the bohurupee , followed by his bisarjan , raja and char adhyay . other notable productions include bidhyak bhattacharya ' s tahar namti ranjana and kanchanranga . under his direction , this group also presented the bengali adaptations of several well - known dramas from the world stage . henrik ibsen ' s putul khela ( doll ' s house ) , dashachakra ( an enemy of the people ) and sophocles ' raja oidipaus ( oedipus rex ) are notable amongst them .
there are some rumours that your ex - husband had been instrumental in the ouster of sombhu mitra from bohurupee… i can neither claim that these rumours are baseless , nor can i say otherwise . this is a fuzzy zone for me . i published some letters . but i can’t say for sure that those who wrote the letters had done so of their own volition . what gives me satisfaction is that ‘nathabati anathbath’ ( picture below ) brought all of us together . baba produced it , ma pitched in , kaliprosad ghosh wrote for it .
sombhu mitra received many national and international awards , which include the crystal globe for jagte raho at the 1957 karlovy vary international film festival , the desikottama from visva bharati university in 1989 , an honorary d . litt from both rabindra bharati university and jadavpur university in kolkata , the ramon magsaysay award in 1976 for journalism , literature and creative communication arts and the padmabhushan in the same year . he received the sangeet natak akademi fellowship in 1966 . for his contribution in the movies , he won the grand - prix award at the karlovy vary international film festival . madhya pradesh government honoured him with kalidas samman ( 1982–83 ) .
sombhu mitra ( 22 august 1915 – 19 may 1997 ) was a legendary indian film and stage actor , director , playwright , reciter and an indian theatre personality , known especially for his involvement in bengali theatre , where he is considered a pioneer . he remained associated with the indian people ' s theatre association ( ipta ) for a few years before founding the bohurupee theatre group in kolkata in 1948 . he is most noted for films like dharti ke lal ( 1946 ) , jagte raho ( 1956 ) , and his production of rakta karabi based on rabindranath tagore ' s play in 1954 and chand baniker pala , his most noted play as a playwright .
if sombhu mitra had done theatre today , would he have still shunned the media ? a journalist had printed an informal chat with him despite promising otherwise . can you blame baba for losing faith in the media ? he worked relentlessly for the growth of theatre . time and again he wrote to the government asking for land to construct a natmancha ( theatre stage and venue ) . baba’s efforts helped abolish tax on theatre . his reticence to talk about his efforts aided misinterpretations . he didn’t have people praising him . i too don’t . theatre today is no more about art . it’s a product for sale . but a truly committed person won’t want to reduce theatre to a product .
at home . he had mentioned something regarding him and minerva theatre . dutt had praised ‘raktakorobi’ . it isn’t difficult to come across unflattering comments made by dutt about baba . but you won’t find the reverse . in fact , baba never said anything about him . that was also up for criticism . people said dutt praised and criticized baba , but baba never praised him . people accuse , but they never realize that baba restrained from any comments on dutt . on sombhu mitra’s death… baba walked into the pyre . even bertolt brecht had such a philosophy . baba’s last instruction was on a stamp paper , so that i never had to face any problems later on . he had stipulated that he didn’t want his body to be kept on display at rabindra sadan ; a simple hearse would be enough . an electric crematorium was his choice . no ‘mukhagni’ for him , no ‘shraddha’ either . changing his clothes before cremation wasn’t required . he insisted that he was a simple man and wanted to die with dignity . one day , when he was very ill , he had said : “if i pass away at night and you could finish off everything by early morning , it would be good fun . ”
a spate of new productions has taken the bengali stage in the past few weeks . metro checks out some plays set in different times with diverse themes .
the four - show - old production from gandhar is adapted from a j . b . priestley play . satyaasatya is a tale of deception and falsehood creeping into some seemingly perfect relationships in today & apos ; s times . & apos ; the hidden tensions and complexities in relationships become obvious when you scratch the surface . and there & apos ; s also a play with time which may seem to be virtual reality , & apos ; says bijoylakshmi barman , who plays paromita , a socialite trying to cope with a life of pulls and pressures . the play comprising six characters is directed by shyamal chakraborty .
bohurupee & apos ; s latest production turns back time to the kingdoms of pataliputra and magadh , and the divergent worldviews of surgeons kumarbhatta jibak and sudatta .
& apos ; there is no linear progression . through the conflict of ideologies of an idealist and a realist , we have tried to mirror the social reality of the period which is relevant to the present times as well , & apos ; says director kumar roy .
an adaptation of the chandrabati - jayananda love story from the mymensingha geetika , an oral epic of bangladesh . kasba arghya has retained the folklore structure as much as possible in this solo act by sima ghosh ( chandrabati ) .
nabamayukh delves into a real - life story of lust , power and superstition from the court files of bihar . at the centre of the plot is a wealthy landlord who , in his desire to sire a male child , tries to seduce his wife & apos ; s maid .
& apos ; we wanted to explore how the trend to bequeath one & apos ; s legacy to a male heir is still prevalent across the country . the feud between the thakurs and yadavs exists in bihar to this day , & apos ; says director rishi mukhopadhyay .
a book fair , a “grand” rally , exhibitions , cultural programmes and discussions feature in the state government’s plan to celebrate rabindranath tagore’s 150th birth anniversary next month .
before that , chief minister mamata banerjee will inaugurate an 11 - day rabindra boi mela on july 29 on the rabindra sadan premises .
to mark rabindranath’s death anniversary on august 7 , a “grand” procession has been planned , where participants will sing and recite the poet’s verses . the rallies , called alokpheri , will originate from four different points — jorasanko thakurbari , college square , harish park and the park circus maidan — from 7am and converge on the shahid minar ground .
various schools , colleges and personalities from different walks of life have been invited to participate in the rallies , which will also be joined by the chief minister .
some of tagore’s paintings restored at the academy of fine arts will be put up for display on the three days .
a cultural programme has also been planned at netaji indoor stadium on august 8 , with mamata banerjee at its helm .

, to today’s youngsters ? it’s difficult . i’ve written a book on him but myths surrounding him need to be busted .
your father had often been labelled an escapist… true . people accused him of taking refuge in classical plays . i knew he had some friction with the communist party . i also realized why a play like ‘nabanna’ , despite being so successful , didn’t run for more than seven - eight shows — theatres , even ticket counters , weren’t available . it was due to the socio - political scenario of that time . the party line was to support stalin and , in extension , also the british . in the ‘history of the communist party of india’ , i found that those who were involved in the meerut conspiracy had signed a bond and taken money from the british to come up with the paper titled ‘people’s war’ . why wouldn’t ‘nabanna’ face stumbling blocks in such a scenario ? the hugely relevant ‘raktakarabi’ is a political play , but baba was criticized for staging it . some said , ‘rokto tuku dyakha gelo , korobi dyakha gelo na’ ! today , i believe politics governs a lot of apparently unrelated actions .
were all these discussed at home ? politics didn’t interest me ; literature and sports did . but once i read more on the history of the communist party , i realized something else had happened in the backdrop . many within the party were aware of this history , but they never confronted it . baba never discussed it with me . he’d just smile and say : “there are so many stories that i’ve never managed to tell you . ” while baba faced flak , others who did family dramas while there was turbulence outside earned the escapist tag .
have you ever seen him suffer from ‘abhimaan ( anger , usually at a loved one ) ’ ? that emotion doesn’t go with my father . in the fag end of his life , his sense of humour increased . i’d hear ma scream and laugh while baba would just move his fingers from a distance , pretending he was coming to tickle her . it was such a comic relief . he never uttered a word against all the insults , not even after being ousted from
how did he develop this strength ? in raja sen’s film for doordarshan , baba was asked why he chose to quit theatre so soon . he replied that he had wanted to quit long back , after he had done ‘raja’ in 1964 . he was 49 then . he then went on to say that when a person gives his all to something and then quits , there are many reasons and layers behind his decision . as an explanation , he said : “i was cornered and i took a decision” .
yet , you published his letters… yes . i had told baba that unlike him , i wouldn’t keep silent . he had just smiled . he never asked me not to publish the letters .
many feel that you should have voiced your protest when your father was ousted from bohurupee . why did you remain silent ? i was not in a position to protest . i had quit before baba’s ouster . i had come to know about baba’s ouster accidentally . i wasn’t supposed to know it . besides , there were some family issues involved too . back then , my mother was the president of bohurupee . my ex - husband , kaliprosad ghosh , was then the
. me saying anything would have seemed like washing dirty linen in public . i had to silently face it all .
in retrospect , what do you think was the main reason for this friction ? if one isn’t ready to contaminate one’s medium of work , if one honestly sticks to ideals , one will have to be ready to get cornered . i realize it through my own experiences . life hasn’t been easy by doing that . yet , i consider myself lucky that i could earn by staging ‘nathabati anathbath’ and do the kind of theatre that i’ve wanted to do . but honesty results in loneliness . you won’t be able to communicate with others . the refrain is : ‘what’s the harm in compromising ? ’ say , for example , an actor drops out after three months of rehearsals . i’ll start questioning whether i should cheat the audience by replacing him with an actor who hasn’t been groomed for long . but others might say : “theatre taa to naamiye dilei cholbe ( it’s enough to just stage the play ) ” . for them , the production has to be delivered on time . if i can’t fit into such a system , i’ll feel isolated . such problems existed during baba’s time too .
he earned an uncompromising image… in a television interview in 1995 , baba had said : “all of us who think we are moralists are under the impression that we stand erect and are at 90 degrees from the ground . but we are never so erect , since the world is round . we are bound to be slightly tilted . there might be times when circumstances lead us to stand at a 30 - degree angle . at that point , it’s the only right thing to do . ” most people only talk about his stern exterior . but baba was such a jovial person . he developed such a rapport with the local plumber , sweepers and electricians . they used to assure him that they would vote for him if he contested the elections . a plumber had once asked baba what he did for a living , since he was always at home . baba had said : “i live off my wife’s earnings . ” later , when the plumber came to know the truth , he had told baba : “ami jani apni artist ( i know you are an artist ) ” .
is it all praise and no criticism for him ? baba hated sycophancy . as a kid , if i said good things about his plays , he’d say : “are you praising because your parents have acted in them ? ” when he was wrong with his assessment of me , he acknowledged it . i can’t count the number of times he said sorry to people he had unfairly scolded .
there are allegations of him being miserly too… he wasn’t miserly at all . he was the first to acknowledge ajitesh ( bandyopadhyay ) as an actor of repute . he was the first one to acknowledge the contribution of nandikar .
how do you adapt ? i have moved away from theatre . i enjoy my play - reading sessions . it’s nice to see youngsters flock to such events . but that doesn’t mean i don’t have my views . when singur happened , i couldn’t stay back . i took to the streets and protested . i’ll again raise my voice if it’s required . but criticism will stalk me . an eminent person had alleged that i had taken rs 50 , 000 as remuneration for being a part of the railway board . doesn’t he know that one has to pay taxes before taking such an amount ?
how do you deal with malice ? i remember baba’s words : “think of what tagore had to face despite being a sensitive soul . ” while in college , i was bed - ridden for three years with a complicated case of tuberculosis . i couldn’t move my limbs . instead of complaining , i adjusted , thinking about all those who were in worse conditions .
didn’t you try to counsel your parents when they separated ? i did . my mother , mostly . i knew the reasons for their differences . i could understand who were causing mischief and creating situations to make them drift apart . but they were passionately in love with each other till the end . a few months before her death , baba brought her home . i remember an incident . ma was almost in a trance . she had barely uttered something . baba heard it and came to the room . till the time she could keep her eyes open , she kept staring at baba . perhaps she understood that she had been misguided . at the end , she had wanted to say something to baba . but we couldn’t understand her words . so , she gave up .
ever thought of confronting the people who fanned the fire ? it was beneath my dignity . during the last few months of her life , i’ve seen how much my parents were in love . whatever she wanted to have , he would get it for her . ekjoner khaiye anondo , ekjoner kheye anondo .
did they ever express regret ? baba was always a loner . he could manage on his own .
wasn’t it a paradox , since he was a people’s person too ? every person is multi - layered .
was it an exercise in acting , prompted by a refusal to show his wounds ? he was a private person . loneliness was welcome but he would never sacrifice his dignity . at the end , when he was restricted to bed , he stopped taking food . that’s because if he did , he would need to depend on others to take care of his other biological processes . and he didn’t want to do so . i understood this two / three years after his death .
even in death , he ensured complete abstinence of any fanfare with his body… yes . he gave these instructions way back in 1972 . then , he saw what had happened during debabrata biswas’s and even ma’s death . his resolve increased . he insisted that no attempts should be made to deliberately keep him alive .
did he have any regrets at the end ? in his delirium , he said politics and morality had to be merged but he hadn’t been able to do so . he also wanted to work on gautam buddha .
don’t you feel sad that theatre has hardly been archived ? baba’s philosophy was , unlike cinema or art , theatre is a transient medium .
you had taken to the streets to protest . today , why have you distanced yourself so much ? i’ve seen a lot since childhood . i wrote about it . when i saw the sufferings of the farmers , i couldn’t sit back . if some situations demand my protest , i’ll again do so . if i take to the streets daily , i’ll be accused of being publicity - hungry . i voice my views through my articles . i also have a distance from this government .
there are rumours that a trade - off has forced you into silence . isn’t the saradha issue grave enough for you to take to the streets ? i am 68 now . i don’t care if people call me an escapist for not having an opinion on every television debate . i’ve grown up hearing that my lineage got me favours . but i never said anything . i’ve learnt to choose my battles . today , i am the chairperson of the paschimbanga bangla academy . it is an honorary post but i work relentlessly . i even check proofs . after a lot of research , we’ve come up with 11 volumes of ‘rabindra rachanabali’ . it is not a reprint . we have come out with two volumes of bankimchandra chattopadhyay’s works . in the pipeline are dictionaries in four languages .
but all this hardly comes to the limelight… what can i do ? everything is controlled by politics . i am not close to the chief minister . i don’t have any power . i know i don’t share the clout that arpita ( ghosh ) does . even if i request people to write about these , is there any guarantee that it will get published ?
why has that happened ? i don’t know . i think the chief minister has also understood that it is best to keep me at arm’s length . this comfortable distance is nice .
don’t you want to revive your ties with bohurupee now ? why would i do that ? i left bohurupee in 1979 . bohurupee also hasn’t wanted to build the relationship .

calcutta , may 20 : pandit ravi shankar has graciously declined the banga bibhushan honour that was conferred on a large group of individuals by chief minister mamata banerjee on the first anniversary of her government today .
the 92 - year - old sitar maestro was reluctant to be clubbed with the large group of recipients and so chose not to “accept this award myself” .
sukanya shankar , the maestro’s wife , told the telegraph from san diego tonight : “in the beginning , we were told that he and suchitra senji were going to be given the award but we heard from some of our friends who received an invitation to the event that around 10 or 12 artistes were being presented with the same award . ”
she said that “raviji has been healing in the hospital and all we ask of you is to pray that he gets better soon” .
a mail announcing the award came from a person called kamal kanti mazumdar , sukanya shankar said .
an official in the information and cultural affairs department had earlier in the day said ravi shankar sent an email addressed to the chief minister conveying his reluctance to accept the award .
sukanya shankar recounted to the telegraph what the maestro wanted to convey through the mail : “in our culture , we have always given a lot of importance to age and experience , with regards to how we proffer titles and respects . i’m extremely happy to hear that several wonderful artistes who are like children or even grandchildren to me are going to be conferred this award . and they have my congratulations and blessings . however , i hope you understand that i cannot accept this award myself . ”
sukanya shankar said : “i think he’s right . he’s got the topmost awards and you can’t give an award to him and at the same time give it to those who are third - generation artistes . no hard feelings . he loves bengal and was very happy when he first heard about it ( the award ) but he has his values . after all these years , now he is 92 and can’t be treated like a 29 - year - old or a 51 - year - old . ”
ravi shankar’s name was not mentioned throughout the felicitation programme at netaji indoor stadium this evening when the chief minister conferred 13 banga bibhushan awards . the names of 14 recipients of the banga bibhushan , which carries an award of rs 2 lakh each , had figured in the invitation card circulated by the information and cultural affairs department that organised the event .
“from the beginning , when our communication with pandit ravi shankar started , we had made it clear that there was no pressure on him to attend the programme . he is aged and physically unwell and we understand that . we had decided that if he could not make it , we would send him the award , ” said a source in the chief minister’s office .
ravi shankar is in hospital in the us . there is a provision to accept awards in absentia through representatives .
“while panditji’s name was the first on the list , most other names cannot compare on grounds of seniority or stature , ” said a veteran who knows ravi shankar . “after all , panditji is not only a recipient of the bharat ratna , three grammy awards and some of the world’s greatest honours , but is also hailed as one of the country’s biggest cultural ambassadors in the west . ”
other sources said that in the mail , ravi shankar had also congratulated the chief minister for the work her government had been doing .
after coming to power last year , mamata had instituted the banga bibhushan awards to honour “bengal’s luminaries from various fields” . “this year , we are considering the names of pandit ravi shankar , suchitra sen and others , ” she had said earlier this year .
the list , however , turned out to be much longer . a possible explanation for the long list came from mamata herself . “bengal is the cultural capital of the world . be it cinema or theatre or literature or jatra or painting , bengal has an unlimited resource of talented personalities in every field , ” the chief minister said .
“the banga bibhushan and the banga bhushan shamman are part of the state government’s effort at honouring those who have made bengal proud by way of their immense contribution in their profession . every year the state government will felicitate such personalities at this event , ” she added .
when the telegraph spoke to ravi shankar on the eve of his 90th birthday on april 7 in 2010 , the sitar legend , who has been based in the us for more than five decades , had turned emotional , choosing to speak in bengali throughout the conversation .
it was hard to miss the enthusiasm in his voice when he fielded a question on his next trip to his hometown . ravi shankar had said : “khub ichchhe achhey kolkatay ashaar . eto bhalobashi kolkata - ke kintu du - teen bochhor hoye gechhey ashtey parini . dekho jodi tomader taan thakey taholey ashbo ( i really want to come to calcutta . i love calcutta so much but i haven’t been able to go there for two - three years . let’s see if the love of you all can take me there ) . ”
