TV9 Bangla manifests Bangaliana, Amaader Kaal, Aaj, Kaal

Bangaliana laid the foundation of modern India. The very essence of the Bengali identity was at the helm of Indian progress. Bengalis have surpassed all other communities and races in terms of leadership, power, strong determination, grit, firmness, never-say-die attitude, exemplary visions. It has let the community set apart from the rest with respect to their acceptance towards newness, faced undaunted challenges and strove with unfledged knowledge for beckoning success.

TV9 Bangla’s Bangaliana initiative aims to hold the platform to discuss challenges, soul- search for solutions while celebrating the achievements of Bengalis across the globe. Towards the revival of Bangaliana, the news channel broadly sets to mobilize and sensitize some 10 Crores Bengalis in the quest for their glory and to deliberate the present for charting the future roadmap.

Gopal Krishna Gokhale boasts of even saying today, “What Bengal Thinks Today, India Thinks Tomorrow.” Taking this thought forward, the sentiments of Bengalis has made the race recalls the history of achievements that goes back centuries before the modern age. But have those days of glory long been relegated to idle nostalgia? Individual stars continue to shine but have Bengalis failed to be a race of the leaders? Has the time for some candid deliberations arrived to lead Bengalis somewhere and provide a platform for framing the future? Is it the time for Bengalis to take stock of the current realities and take the lead once again to bring the Bengali identity? These thoughts instigate Bengalis to contemplate soul-search and go about reclaiming the narrative, disregarding the stated political, cultural, and ideological positions.

As TV9 Bangla extends its arms to bring Bengalis together to celebrate Bengaliness, it unfolds the event into five key aspects:
