  • BegunKodar Station | बेगुनकोदर स्टेशन

The railway station remained shut for 42 years until 2009 when Mamata Banerjee reopened it during her tenure as railways minister. However, nobody stayed back at the station after 5 pm every day.

  • Royal Ghosts of Awadh | अवध के शाही भूत
    For over three decades, Malcha Mahal, a 14th-century hunting lodge in
    the middle of Delhi’s ridge forest, inhabited by the self-proclaimed
    royal family of Oudh, remained out of bounds for those uninvited. Until
    the afternoon of September 3, 2017, not many had entered the lodge. And
    then one afternoon, the palace’s last resident, Prince Ali Raza was
    found dead. For over three decades, Prince Ali Raza lived at the palace with his
    mother Wilayat and sister Sakina. Proclaiming themselves as descendants
    of the Oudh Royal family, the three had refused to leave the
    14th-century hunting lodge until the government returned their ancestral
    property. A New York Times article recently suggested that the three
    may not have been related to the Royal family. The reporter interviewed
    Raza’s relatives who said Raza was no prince. They said Wilayat
    hallucinated. The three took the truth to their graves. Listen to this mysterious REAL story tonight narrated by your dost and host Tushar Sen : https://instagram.com/tusharsarojsen | www.dhaak.com

  • Untold Story - Meera Bai | मीरा बाई
    Meera broke many social norms of the time. She accepted Raidas (Ravidas), a Dalit by birth, as her guru (
    Guru Miliyaa Raidasjee). It is believed that it was Raidas who had given her that statue of Krishna, all those years ago when she was a small girl. Choosing the language of the people, Meera wrote in Vrajbhasha, interspersed with Rajasthani. Around 1000 padas of Meera are available now. Around 500 more are
    attributed to her. Sadly, no attempt was made to preserve all that she
    composed. Tonight in our Shakti Series we bring you the story of the most enigmatic poetess of India. Listen and connect with me at https://instagram.com/tusharsarojsen or www.dhaak.com

  • Dhaak: Untold Story - Rabindranath Tagore | रबीन्द्रनाथ टैगोर
    “Some of Rabindranath’s biographers have called Kadambari “the deepest female influence on Rabindranath’s youth”, “playmate and guardian angel”, “deepest heartfelt realisation in [Rabindranath’s] life”. But perhaps what she meant to Rabindranath is best expressed in his own words, even when Kadambari is not their explicit addressee: “The heart of human beings is like liquid, which changes shape if the containers are different. Very rarely it finds the ideal container where it will not feel the emptiness or constriction.” Kadambari was simply Rabi’s ideal container.” Listen to this ageless story about the legend we adore and admire, narrated by your dost and host Tushar Sen : https://instagram.com/tusharsarojsen | www.dhaak.com
