তেঁতুলতলার গান

In the heart of South Kolkata’s Vidyasagar Colony stands a monumental tamarind tree—‘Parul Pishi-r Tentul Gaach’ (Aunt Parul’s Tamarind Tree). Planted 75 years ago by Parul Mukherjee, a revolutionary, freedom fighter, teacher, and protector of her community, this tree symbolizes resilience and collective memory. As urban development threatens the area, filmmaker Debalina Majumder has spearheaded the ‘Tentultolaar Gaan’ movement to preserve both the tree and Parul's legacy. Through cultural events and petitions, the community fights to protect this historical landmark from being lost to development. The movement highlights the importance of preserving nature, heritage, and collective resistance in a rapidly changing urban landscape. Join the cause to safeguard this living symbol of the past and future. #TentultolaarGaan #SaveTheTamarindTree
