We regret to inform our readers that in an article styled 'Of Plenty and Pitha' printed on Star Lifestyle on November 14, 2017, the name of Muntasir Mamun, professor of the Department of English and Humanities at the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh, was mistakenly dropped. The write up was based on his keen insight and contribution. He had said, “The real spirit of Nobanno resides in the villages of the country.” 

According to Muntasir Mamun, Rabindranath Tagore draws an obvious comparison to Nobanno's harvest and the smiles of farmers in Agrahayan triggered by a generous reap. From the write-up, Rabindranath Tagore pens verses of the national anthem of Bangladesh depicting the scenic beauty of a golden Bengal in Agrahayan and an obvious reference to the abundant and ripe rice crop standing in the fields.

We profusely apologize for any inconvenience caused for the error on our part.
