In November of 1922, the young poet Kazi Nazrul Islam (1899–1976) was arrested in Calcutta, India, accused of sedition by the British government. He had recently published the poem “Anandomoyee Agomone” (“The Coming of Anandamoyee”), invoking the Hindu goddess Durga, who is beloved and celebrated with particular verve across Bengal. In the poem, however, Nazrul summons the warrior goddess to fight against imperial rule, denouncing the “butchery” of colonization, describing the ways in which Indians were “whipped” and “hanged,” and calling on Bengali youth to sacrifice their lives to overthrow the British.
Sometime between the evening of Dec. 26 and the morning of Dec. 27 a rock found its way inside the office of the Livingston County News, leaving a softball-size hole in the buildingâs large front window.
Passersby discovered the broken window Sunday morning while walking their dog and flagged down a Geneseo Police Officer to report what they saw. Inside the building, the rock lay among shards of glass in the front of the office.
A week later the investigation remains open. The incident is being treated by police as criminal mischief, which state penal law defines as a person intentionally damaging the property of another. The charge, depending on the extent of the damage and other conditions, can reach felony levels.
