No bearing on art??? are you from another planet Sudipto? Picasso? forgot Van Gogh's grandson murdered in Amsteradam for making a movie? would you stand up for Taslima and not kick her out of Kolkata??? are you even watching people are being blown off for drawing cartoons in Denmark? and madness over teddy bears? whats wrong with Bengalis gosh?? how has the race of Vivekananda become such indifferent idealists?

I am perturbed that the personal and the public are being conflated. What artists choose to do in/with their personal lives should have no bearing on their art. If we were to do this with all artists, many accomplished ones would lose their places (take Picasso, for example)! I think it's best to keep such comments outside this bulletin board and stick to the artistic intent of this documentary and its objectives.

where did you get fanatic? the man is a coward and spineless but takes pride in dissing India & communalism on TV. Its like hes some kind of a morally superior holier than cow savior. This guy writes about Nandigram, but has no qualms converting because otherwise the mullahs will chew his ass out. So much for integrity. If he were a Muslim and converted, what would become of his head? Imagine! India & W Bengal chases out Taslima because she dares to write Hindus in Bangladesh. Get a spine Hindus

"Aamio bhondo oneker moto, gaan diye dhaaki jiboner khoto"...that's his confession in "Boshe Aanko". You won't find many singers doing it. can you site me a single performer who hasn't been a hypocrite in some form or the other?I am no fanatic, but a great admirer of Suman's talent and you can't deny his priceless contribution in Bengali music.

Rahee1999 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

This coward is a disgrace. A hypocrite who gives in to bigotry and has to covert?? this shameless creature even goes about preaching fairness in Kolkata. If he has any spine he should talk and sing about how Bengali Hindus are kicked out by Jihadis in Bangladesh, instead of singing about Nandigram. Dont listen to this scum.

Simply superb...Sumaner gaan aamaader gaan. Can anyone post the video of his song "rashtro"?

well, for me first you create and then express...and it is known as interpretation and before somebody interpret ....need the creation.....so only expression couldn't be all about music! But i always loved your singing and your words dear Sumanda and i also wanted to tell you i hated the arrangement of one of your album, with all keyboard sound(even the drum).....all the best!
