Give Rabha his due: Bodo Sahitya Sabha

Cultural doyen Kalaguru Bishnu Rabha did not get his due, the president of Bodo Sahitya Sabha, Kameswar Brahma, said on June 25.

Inaugurating a programme on the occasion of Bishnu Rabha Divas at the Basic Training Centre Auditorium at Kokrajhar, Brahma rued that the state government had not done enough to preserve Rabha’s works and said it was regrettable.The programme was organised by the Kokrajhar district unit of the Asam Sahitya Sabha.

The contribution of the legendary poet-painter-actor to Assamese literature and society is commendable, according to Brahma. “Some of his literary creations are not being properly preserved and are lying scattered here and there. The government should take steps to preserve the works done by him,” Brahma said.
