Great sons of Bengal

If Bengal can be proud of anything, it is its great people and their bountiful contributions in every field of human endeavour. Their lives and achievements not only did provide the basis for hopes and aspirations of the people of Bengal and India, but they brought the message of love, peace, tranquility and spiritual harmony for the mankind. Their unquestionable devotion to and love for their motherland is only comparable to their unparallel loyalty to universal unity of purpose and welfare of the human existence. Here we will try to remember them as much as we can.
