আজ এক পরম পবিত্র দিন। আষাঢ় মাসের শুক্লা দ্বিতীয় তিথিতে ভারতের কোণায় কোণায়, বিশেষ করে ওড়িশার পুরী ধাম থেকে শুরু করে আমাদের সমগ্র বাংলায় মহাধুমধামে উদযাপিত হচ্ছে শ্রীশ্রী জগন্নাথ দেবের রথযাত্রা উৎসব।
এই উৎসবের সবচেয়ে সুন্দর দিক হলো এর সাম্য ও উদারতা। সনাতন ধর্মে জগন্নাথ শব্দের অর্থ হলো 'জগতের নাথ' বা মহাবিশ্বের ঈশ্বর। তিনি কোনো নির্দিষ্ট জাতি, বর্ণ বা সম্প্রদায়ের নন, তিনি সবার। সারা বছর তিনি মন্দিরের গর্ভগৃহে অবস্থান করলেও, রথযাত্রার এই বিশেষ দিনে তিনি নিজেই মন্দির থেকে বেরিয়ে আসেন রাজপথে। কেন আসেন? যাতে ধনী-দরিদ্র, জাত-পাত নির্বিশেষে সমাজের প্রতিটি মানুষ তাঁর দর্শন পেতে পারে, তাঁর রথের রশি স্পর্শ করতে পারে।
রথযাত্রার এই রশি টানা আমাদের জীবনের এক বড় শিক্ষা দেয়। রথ যেমন একা টানা যায় না, সবার সম্মিলিত প্রচেষ্টায় এগিয়ে চলে, ঠিক তেমনি আমাদের সমাজকেও হিংসা, দ্বেষ ভুলে সকলের ঐক্যবদ্ধ প্রচেষ্টায় এগিয়ে নিয়ে যেতে হবে। শ্রীচৈতন্য মহাপ্রভু এই রথযাত্রার মাধ্যমেই ভক্তি ও প্রেমের জোয়ার এনেছিলেন, যেখানে কোনো ভেদাভেদ ছিল না।
আসুন, আজকের এই শুভ দিনে আমরা সবাই মিলে প্রার্থনা করি, মহাপ্রভু জগন্নাথের কৃপায় আমাদের চারপাশের সমস্ত অন্ধকার, মহামারী এবং অমঙ্গল দূর হোক। পৃথিবী ভরে উঠুক শান্তি, সুখ ও সমৃদ্ধিতে।
জয় জগন্নাথ! ধন্যবাদ।

Johar.
Today, on the 30th of June, we gather to celebrate a day written in the golden letters of courage, sacrifice, and unyielding resilience. Today is Hul Diwas.
When we talk about India’s fight for freedom, our minds often jump straight to the Revolt of 1857. But two years before that historic year, a massive storm brew in the Rajmahal hills of modern-day Jharkhand. It was a revolution born from the soil, led by the indigenous people of our land—the Santhals. In the Santhali language, the word "Hul" doesn’t just mean conflict; it means an absolute, collective revolution for dignity, freedom, and rights over one's own land.

By the mid-19th century, the peaceful lives of the Santhals were shattered. Under the British East India Company’s oppressive system, ancestral tribal lands were snatched away. Corrupt local landlords, exploitative moneylenders (Mahajans), and compromised officials trapped the indigenous people in a brutal cycle of debt and forced labor.
When the system turned entirely blind to their suffering, the community realized that submission was no longer an option. Survival demanded resistance.

On June 30, 1855, the small village of Bhognadih became the epicenter of a historic uprising. More than 10,000 Santhals gathered under the visionary leadership of four brave brothers: Sidhu, Kanhu, Chand, and Bhairav Murmu. Driven by a divine call to reclaim their land and establish a just rule, they raised the banner of rebellion.
And let us never forget that this fight was not fought by men alone. Their sisters, Phulo and Jhano Murmu, led an army of nearly a thousand women, acting as intelligence gatherers, ensuring food supplies, and directly confronting colonial forces.
Armed with nothing but traditional bows, arrows, spears, and an unbreakable spirit, an army that grew to 60,000 stood tall against the most powerful military empire in the world.

The British responded with unimaginable brutality. Martial law was declared, thousands of villages were burned, and over 15,000 tribal heroes laid down their lives. Sidhu and Kanhu were eventually captured and executed, but their sacrifice was not in vain.
The raw power of the Santhal Hul forced the British empire to open its eyes. It led to:
The creation of a separate administrative zone called the Santhal Pargana.
The passage of strict tenancy laws, ensuring that indigenous land could never be illegally transferred to outsiders.
The realization across India that even the most heavily armed oppressor can be shaken when ordinary people unite for justice.

Hul Diwas is not just a lesson from a history textbook. It is a living reminder of who we are. It teaches us the importance of protecting our roots, our environment, our culture, and our dignity.
As we pay tribute to the immortal martyrs of the Santhal Rebellion today, let us carry their flame forward. Let us pledge to stand up against injustice, respect indigenous heritages, and work towards a society where no one is exploited.

Sidhu-Kanhu Murmu Amar Rahe!
Jai Hind! Jai Jharkhand! Jai Johar! 🇮🇳🙏

We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. What kind of world do we want to pass on? A world of concrete and depleted resources, or a vibrant, thriving planet teeming with life?
Let us use this World Environment Day as a turning point. Let us shift our mindset from exploitation to conservation, and from apathy to action.
Today, let’s make a pledge: to walk a little lighter on this Earth, to speak up for the silent forests and the choking oceans, and to act as true guardians of this beautiful blue planet.
Thank you, and happy World Environment Day!
