Dhaka : Poetry recitation, singing and dancing marked a day-long event here by Indian and Bangladeshi cultural organisations as part of the global celebrations leading up to the 150th birth anniversary of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore next year.
Cultural organisations Shurolok, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) and Nabopratisruti from Kolkata jointly organised the celebration here Friday.
Kabir Chowdhury, a professor, who inaugurated the event, said: “Bengalis have to fully embrace internationalism. We have to work together to present Rabindranath as a poet of the world.”
A similar event will be held in Kolkata later this year, The Daily Star said Saturday.
