Some
Feedback from the readers
on
Our New Web-site
From: Mark Perakh,
retired professor from Cal. State University; Author of
Unintelligent Design:
Dear Avijit: Thanks for your
message. I have looked up your website in its new format. It looks
very impressive.
I have noticed that you posted there
a copy of my paper about science and a review of my book (which I
unfortunately can't read because it is - I presume - in Bengali which
I don't know.) Thank you for both. My promise to write an article for
you remains in effect and I'd appreciate it if you told me the desired
topic. I read with a lot of interest articles on your site about Quran
and related matters. Keep the good work!
Best wishes, Mark Perakh

Let us all congratulate Avijit and Jahed, for
their self-less and continuous sacrifice for promoting true
philosophy of man [ Manab Dharma]. Let us all feel
indebted to both of them for what they have done for the
society.

Dear Dr Pal,
I am sure that every member here seconds your
message of congratulations to Mr Avijit and Mr Jahed for their
excellent work.
May we look forward to seeing their efforts and the
supporting efforts of all members go towards spreading the message of
Mukto Mona worldwide. If the thinkers from Bengal could guide India to
freedom and modernity soa dmirably, there is no reason why they should
not guide the world.
Best wishes,

Jahed,
Congratulations on the launch of this site. It is
most impressive! I wish you every success. Is there an area on the
site which talks about your meetings in Queens, should they continue?
I would like to know where to direct visitors to CFI-Metro New York
for more information on local activities.

Dear Avijit,
The new site is wonderful. I'm honored to have my
poem on it, and look forward to reading the other entries. Thank you
for including my writing.
I would like to write to Snigdha Ali, and I can't
find an address for her on the site. Do you have her email address?
Thank you!
Happy New Year to you, in this tragic time of
mourning for the tsumani victims.
with best wishes,
Carolyn

I am really thankful to you to ask me
for joining such a group who are running to make our world a better
place to live for everyone. With my academic and professional
credential and intention I make an effort to serve up my best. It also
gives me high spirits when this forum attempted for works along with
knowledge sharing.
I have gone through the Mukto-mona web
site. In spite of so many encouraging points it also raises few
questions. I would like to share these with my Mukto-mona friends.
-
Isn't it an intellectual elitist
community? Where is the space for marginal people as well as
conventional citizen who haven't adequate knowledge on structural
discussion?
-
From the page entitled 'about us' I
would like to quote following, "It is becoming a fast-growing and
vibrant forum for discussing wide-ranging
issues...................... ........ ". Few line latter " Besides
hosting debates and discussion, and scholarly publication,
Mukto-mona also works as a socially conscious action group." So
with the spirit of discussion and social consciousness Mukto-mona
strive up its activities. Again the question of Intellectual
authoritativeness stands up. Because the terms 'scholar, discuss,
and conscious' resemblance intellectuality. On the contrary the
human beings are not only constriction of intellectual system. He
also posses some of the very significant constituent i.e. heart,
feeling, love, imagination, as well as limbs, body. Haven't those
things required nourishment as intellectuality demand? However the
name of the community conclude within itself the word "MON" not "CHINTA"
-
What will be the language and reaction
who haven't prolonged same kind of idea, who are the believers of
certain idea or religion? Is there any chance to tarn this community
as a secular dogmatism who are not ready to show nominal level of
tolerance with opposite minded people? We have enough experience
from the history that how devastating it would be when privileged
class pressurize under privileged to be a secular or free thinker.
We never force any one to be free.
In spite of the controversial idea it
makes me happy if I can get the opportune to work with you.

Dear Mr. Roy:
Happy New Year to you and thanks for the work you
and your colleagues do.
The Mukto-Mona website looks very nice and
substantial. I hope to read lot of the material over a period of time.
Hope in the new year there will be more progress in
rational thinking in the world, humanism will prevail despite all the
efforts to spread bigotry and exclusionary narrow mindedness. As Rev.
Jesse Jackson likes to say, 'let us keep hope alive'!
Wish you the best.
