September On Jessore Road Comments

This is an absolute beautiful creation. As a Bangladeshi 🇧🇩 I feel grateful to Mr Ginsberg for showcasing the pain and sufferings of our people during the liberation war of 1971. Glad that we won the war without the interventions of USA.

Love this poem

Where is Jessore Road? Is it in Calcutta? Were the refugee camps settled? How did the people come to on foot and in carriage? and above all, how were the people who drove them out?

speechless! i just wanna thank him for this poem.

How can I thank him! Speechless!!

How can I thank him! Speechless!!

Jessore is my own district. It is my own city where this great poet had composed this great piece of poem in 1971 based on our great liberation war. I invite all to visit this Jessore Road (R. N. Road) .

Very touching, eye-opening, action-provoking. Reminds me of Joan Baez' song 'Bangladesh'.

I was very moved by September On Jessore Road. Certainly one of his post-Prague May King peaks.

Whenever I think about the community 'bangali'...! this poem burns my central nervous system. It makes be bound to re-think about India's Freedom.. which we got 1947, for which a community was divided not on the basis of language or culture or food habits BUT ON THE BASIS OF RELIGION.... SHIT..

This is one of ginsberg's most thought provoking poem i have read.May be i am bit partial to this poem because being a resident of calcutta i have heard a lot about the partitions from people who have witnessed that.Myself being born after the partion it was not a first hand experience but still the story that i have heard is heart wrenching and that feeling i often had while going through this poem again and again.For those who have had a similar feeling going through this poem i would like to recommend to them works of a classic indian director Ritwik Ghatak in whose works the bengal partition story have had a bright reflection.Ghatak is no doubt one of the greatest of directors but it is an irony that he never got his true rewards.
