‘The most feverishly discussed topic at the moment among advanced cultural
circles in Calcutta is the strange new army in Assam - an army that sings
peace and goodwill, the squad of Assamese, Bengali, Nepali and Khasi
singers under the leadership of Bhupen Hazarika and Hemango Biswas.
“This little brigade began its campaign in Shillong and has now
invaded the plains, routing by its stirring songs the instigators of hate and
fratricide.
“The other day I met an old actor in one of the theaters in Calcutta.
He wept unshamedly as he spoke about the brave little cultural brigade and
said this is exactly what we Bengalis should do to protect minorities in
Calcutta. A singer of renown said” cculture - the word sounds like the rasp
of a sword drawn from its scabbard. This is how the sword should be used
- the way they are doing it in Assam”.’
