তৃণমূল জমানায় সাহিত্য ক্ষেত্রেও ‘থ্রেট কালচার’! বিস্ফোরক জয় গোস্বামী, কী মত শীর্ষেন্দু-বিনায়ক-অংশুমানদের?

According to a report by Sangbad Pratidin, renowned Bengali poet Joy Goswami has expressed concerns regarding what he describes as a 'threat culture' within the literary circles of West Bengal under the current administration. Goswami alleged that, similar to other professional sectors such as healthcare and cinema, the literary world has been impacted by an environment of intimidation.

In his remarks, the poet stated that he feels unable to protest against these conditions, suggesting that doing so would be a futile drain on his remaining years. He further expressed concern for younger writers, noting that he does not see a clear path to protecting them from these pressures. Goswami indicated that he intends to speak more extensively on this subject in the future.

The comments have sparked discussion regarding the intersection of politics and the arts in the state. While the report mentions that other prominent literary and cultural figures, including Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay, Binayak Bandyopadhyay, and Anshuman Kar, hold varying perspectives on the matter, the primary focus remains on Goswami's critique of the prevailing social and political climate. As of now, there has been no formal response from state authorities regarding these specific allegations.
