    Had no idea this was a thing. John Brown is genuinely one of my favorite people in all of history. Great to see!

    As a Bengali, "Wait, this exists?". Goddamn, I feel proud 😎
    For the love of god please upload "Jago Anashana Bandi".
    শহীদের জয়-জয় গান হোক। জন্ ব্রাউনের আত্মা মৃত্যুর পরেও এগিয়ে চলুক।
    কত লোক এই পৃথিবীতে হয়, যারা সুশিক্ষিত, ধনী, সম্মানিত, কিন্তু তারা মানে যে এই জগতের সকল সংগ্রামই অর্থহীন, আর একমাত্র বুদ্ধিমানের কাজ হচ্ছে উদাসীনতায় বাস করা। কত সহজ তাদের জন্য সমাজের অত্যাচারিতদেরকে তুচ্ছ ঘোষিত করা! কে জন্ ব্রাউনকে দোষ দিত, যদি তিনি এইভাবেই নিজের জীবন যাপন করতেন? কিন্তু তাঁর জন্য এইটা অসম্ভব ছিল। তিনি এমন ব্যক্তি ছিলেন, যার জন্য সমাজের এই অত্যাচার ক্ষমার অযোগ্য ছিল। আর সামাজিক ন্যায়ে তাঁর বিশ্বাস এতটাই গভীর ছিল যে তিনি জীবনের সকল সুখ এবং ঐশ্বর্য ত্যাগ করে ক্রীতদাসের জন্য কেবল নিজের জীবনই শুধু দেন নি, বরং একটি ঘৃণিত এবং লাঞ্ছিত জাতের মুক্তির জন্য অস্ত্র হাতে নিলেন, এবং শেষ মুহূর্তে বিনা দ্বিধায় হাসতে হাসতে নিজের মৃত্যুও স্বীকার করলেন। যারা আসল বিশ্বাসঘাতক তারাই তাঁকে বিশ্বাসঘাতকতার অপরাধে ফাঁসি দিল। কিন্তু মৃত্যু হয়েও তাঁর আত্মা থামে নি। এরকম দৃঢ়তাকে আমি সালাম করি।

      A bit ashamed to say that I had to translate this comment to fully understand it, but I completely understand you! John Brown was one of the few Americans willing to give up his life for what was objectively right--and he was by no means a terrorist or a psychopath as his critics label him. Ive listened to Jago Anoshono Bandi before but I've not considered uploading it, I'll keep it in mind!

      @@cortexradio Nice to see you liked my comment. Yeah, the Bengali was kind of hard 😅 :). Good to know that you are considering doing "Jago Anoshono Bondi". I actually have always wanted to see people upload more Bengali songs on anthem channels, but unfortunately there aren't many Bengalis who make such content or non Bengalis who know Bengali. Considering that songs from far less populous ethnicities are often featured, you could say I felt a little jealous. There are so many great Bengali songs, another is "Dhono Dhanye Pushpe Bhora" and yet they have never been uploaded by any channel.
      Btw, just curious, are you an immigrant Bengali?
      My eulogy for John Brown is actually heavily inspired by Frederick Douglas' quote about him, especially the "took up arms for a despised and humiliated race" and "laid down his life for the slave". And the "real traitors hanged him for treason" is inspired by the line "They hanged him for a traitor, they themselves the traitor crew" from John Brown's body.

    I am a Sri Lankan listening to a Bengal song in the 1930s about John Brown an American abolitionist died in 1859. The melody may be Japanese .(学科嫌い / Gakka girai ) . Uploaded by a ?UK citizen. What a wonderful time to live in?

    2:46 A small mistake. The word should be "গণমনে". And I am not sure if the word is "বর্ণিমান".

      Now that you point it out, that is correct, it is "গণমনে" lol; I'm not too sure about "বর্ণিমান" though, that's probably the most likely transcription though

      It must feel so powerful to stand there knowing that in front of you his actual body lay. I had a similar eerie feeling when visiting Marx's grave-I just couldn't believe I was that close to someone like him, even though he was dead.
