‘Despicable act': MEA condemns attack on Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral home in Bangladesh, says attempt to erase symbols of tolerance
NEW DELHI: The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday strongly condemned the vandalisation of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore 's ancestral home in Bangladesh, describing it as a 'despicable' and 'violent' act that disrespects the memory and inclusive values espoused by the poet. 'We strongly condemn the despicable act of vandalisation of Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral home in Bangladesh by a mob,' MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a statement. 'This violent act is a disgrace to the memory and inclusive values espoused by the Nobel Laureate.' The MEA further noted that such actions are part of 'broad, systematic attempts by extremists to erase symbols of tolerance,' reflecting a concerning trend. "We have urged interim government of Bangladesh to rein in perpetrators and take strict action them," he said. According to reports, the incident occurred at the Rabindra Kachharibari (also known as Rabindra Memorial Museum) in Shahzadpur, Sirajganj, on Wednesday. The Kachharibari is a historic mansion where Tagore lived and composed many of his works. The unrest reportedly began on June 8, when a visitor and his family had an argument with a museum employee over motorcycle parking fees. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tired of High Power Bills?

In reaction, locals staged a protest by forming a human chain on Tuesday. Subsequently, a mob stormed the premises, vandalised the museum's auditorium, and reportedly assaulted a senior director of the institution. Following the attack, Bangladesh's department of archaeology formed a three-member committee to investigate the incident. The committee has been instructed to submit its report within five working days. Md Habibur Rahman, custodian of the Kachharibari, told local media that the site has been temporarily closed to visitors due to "unavoidable circumstances." The Department of Archaeology is monitoring the situation closely. Located in the Rajshahi division, the Kachharibari is not just a historical site but a cultural symbol. It served as both the family estate and revenue office of the Tagore family. Rabindranath Tagore, who became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, created several of his iconic works while residing in this mansion. The vandalisation of the site has triggered widespread outrage and concern across both India and Bangladesh, with scholars, diplomats, and cultural institutions calling for the protection of shared heritage and historical legacies.

5 GTA 6 characters who are much more than just side characters
(Image via Rockstar Games) GTA 6 is shaping up to be Rockstar's most layered game yet, not just in terms of gameplay, but in how it writes its characters. From the sun-soaked streets of Vice City to the swampy underbelly of Grassrivers, the people you meet are more than just mission-givers. They have pasts, motives, and secrets. Here are five characters who are clearly hiding more than they show. 1. Cal Hampton At first glance, Cal seems like your typical tinfoil-hat-wearing loner. He drinks beer, listens to Coast Guard comms, and spouts off about birds flying in formation. But here's the thing: in GTA, paranoia often points to the truth. Cal isn't just comic relief; he's plugged into something bigger. If there's a government plot or criminal web behind the scenes, Cal might be the first one to see it coming. Why Raul Bautista is The Next Big GTA Legend? 2. Raul Bautista Raul has experience, charm, and a reputation. But beneath that cool exterior is someone who pushes every job to its breaking point. Rockstar calls him 'reckless,' and that's never a good sign. His obsession with bigger scores and bigger risks could blow up everything or reveal a deeper motive. Is he chasing adrenaline, or trying to run from something? Either way, Raul is dangerous. 3. Dre'Quan Priest Dre'Quan says he's just a music guy trying to make it big. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo But look closer, he's connected to Boobie Ike, runs a label with viral stars, and has his hands in Vice City's club scene. That's a lot of influence for someone who 'used to deal just to make ends meet.' Dre'Quan might talk smooth, but he knows how the streets work. He's not just chasing fame; he's building something. Maybe something illegal. 4. Brian Heder Brian looks like an old Keys burnout: beach hair, flip-flops, third wife. But don't be fooled. He's a veteran drug runner with deep connections, and he's letting Jason live rent-free for a reason. He's not retired. He's just smart enough to work from the shadows. If things go sideways in the Keys, there's a good chance Brian was behind it. HIS NAME IS BOOBIE IKE? | GTA 6 5. Boobie Ike Boobie owns a strip club, a studio, and real estate, and he's got that friendly, 'just business' vibe. But remember: he says, 'drug money pays for it all.' That line isn't a throwaway; it's a warning. Boobie plays the long game. He smiles while he builds an empire, and people like that are rarely safe to trust. Don't mistake charm for innocence. In GTA 6, the real threat might not come from obvious enemies; it's the smiling allies, the smooth talkers, and the quiet veterans who will shape the story. These five are clearly more than they appear, and when things heat up in Leonida, they may be the ones holding the real power.
