সুদীপা মুখোপাধ্যায়: আমার চোখে নাট্যমঞ্চ
১২৪ তম প্রয়ান বার্ষিকীতে সেই মহাপ্রাণ পূরুষর্ষভ পন্ডিত ঈশ্বরচন্দ্র বিদ্যাসাগরকে আমরা আভূমিপ্রণত শ্রদ্ধা
এক শ্রাবণের বিরামবিহীন বর্ষনমুখর এক দিনে, বাঙালি হারিয়েছিল তার পরমেশ্বরকে। মানবীয় আধারে যিনি ছিলেন অপরিমিত হৃদয়বত্তার অতলান্তিক মহাসাগর। আর্ত-পীড়িত-অসহায় মানুষের ক্রন্দন-ধ্বনি যাঁর বুকের গহনতম অন্তস্থলে, আলাপে শোনাত নিষ্ণাত মেঘমল্লার। শমিতবীর্য পশ্চাৎপদী বাঙালিজাতি যাঁর অমোঘ উর্জিত-শাসন ক্ষাত্রতেজে দেখেছিল নারী-মুক্তির অভিনব সূর্যোদয়। যাঁর নিরাপদ প্রশ্রয়ে বিদগ্ধ হয় বাংলা ভাষার দিকদিগন্ত-বিসর্পিত দিশাহীন কৈশোর। মহাকবি কালিদাস, ভবভূতি কিংবা প্রতীচ্যের চারণকবি শেক্সপীয়ার যাঁর প্রযত্নে আমোদিত করেন বাংলা অনুবাদ সাহিত্যের মায়াকানন। ১২৪ তম প্রয়ান বার্ষিকীতে সেই মহাপ্রাণ পূরুষর্ষভ পন্ডিত ঈশ্বরচন্দ্র বিদ্যাসাগরকে আমরা আভূমিপ্রণত শ্রদ্ধা নিবেদন করি।
