Channel i
Dr. N.N. Fyzennesa, Former Professor IER, DU
I recently went through an interview of Shykh Siraj published in the culture page on June 18. I expected that more effective and enterprising views would come out of the interview. However, this invoked me to think about certain programmes that Channel-i might consider airing. While still in school we used to read about Florence Nightingale, Joan of Arc and characters that not only inspired us but also enlightened us. Apart from these characters if we look into English literature of previous centuries there are many interesting stories that have lasted through the ages and are still famous. For example Shakespeare's comedies and tragedies still have great impact on us. My suggestion to Channel-i is to seek advice from the university teachers of various departments -- from English, Bangla, History etc and ask them to suggest a few characters, incidents that they may consider telecasting. It would not have to be elaborate and the programme may be shown in a story telling form, while only the major characters would be portrayed. This would leave a lasting effect on the young and old alike.
