Write without E, IshwarChandra vs Madhusudan

ঈশ্বরচন্দ্র vs মাইকেল

Once, Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar challenged Michael Madhusudan Dutta, "Since you are a master of English, can you write an essay without the English letter E? Even in the 21st century, Michael Madhusudan Dutta's answer was brilliant:

I doubt I can. It’s a major part of many many words. Omitting it is as hard as making muffins without flour. It’s as hard as spitting without saliva, napping without a pillow, driving a train without tracks, sailing to Russia without a boat, and washing your hands without soap. And, anyway, what would I gain? An award? A cash bonus? Bragging rights? Why should I strain my brain? It’s not worth doing.

(রচনাটির মধ্যে কোথাও E নেই)

রচনাটির অর্থ : আমার সন্দেহ আমি পারবো কিনা। এটা অনেক শব্দের প্রধান অংশ। এটা ময়দা ছাড়া পিঠা বানানোর মতোই কঠিন। লালা ছাড়া থুথু মারার মতো, বালিশ ছাড়া ঘুমানোর মতো, রেল লাইন ছাড়া রেলগাড়ি চালানোর মতো, নৌকা ছাড়া রাশিয়া যাত্রা করার মতো, সাবান ছাড়া হাত ধোয়ার মতো কঠিন। যাই হোক, এটা করতে পারলে আমি কী পাবো? কোনো পুরষ্কার? কোনো টাকা? কোনো অধিকার? তো অযথা কেন আমার মস্তিষ্ককে চাপ দেবো? এটা কোনো কাজের কাজ নয়।

Madhusudan was one of the greatest Bengali poets of the nineteenth century, and Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar was a prominent Bengali educationist, social reformer, and prose writer. The deep friendship between the two began with some bitterness. Whereas Vidyasagar satirically criticized Michael Madhusudan Dutt's "Tilottama Manshak" poem in 1860.

Vidyasagar used to spend a lot of money with friends and in bars. He has helped Madhusudan many times financially, but once, Vidyasagar was burdened with debt.

Make a Christian Conversion The tragedies in Michael Madhusudan's personal life were numerous. This famous poet passed away at the age of 49 in Calcutta. In order to free Vidyasagar from debt and prevent anyone from dishonoring him, he sold his land before passing away and transferred the proceeds to his close friend.

This witty challenge by Ishwarchandra and Madhusudan in essays without E is a true reflection of the intellectual practice of the time and the genuine friendship that is absent in today's society.
