"To understand the poems of Jibananda Das, I think it is important to consider the issues given bellow:
(1) Generation gap between the poet and myself.
(2) Flora, fauna, rivers, meadows, crops and so on and so forth have changed substantially over the decades.
(3) The poet's concept and perception eight decades ago might not have been on the same footing to that of mine.
(4) Technological advancement has taken newer dimensions.
(5) In those days cholera, small pox, T.B., malaria and typhoid etc diseases were deadly. Now many new ones have emerged for some of which medicines are yet to be discovered.
(6) There have been many socio-economic, geo-political changes. In many cases, it may not be possible to cope in a short time, as ways are yet to be explored. (7) When the poems were composed it was a united Bengal i.e. in pre-1947 days, the conceptualization was on different platform, now the overall scenario is different. "Bengal" meant united Bengal. Now it should be Bangladesh because most of the pictures inplaced in the poems are from the land of Bengal, which is now Bangladesh." -Abdul Mannan
