Alal O Dual publishes essays on the culture of the two Bengals. Our name comes from the anthem by musician Azam Khan, that we, us, are diverse. We prioritize the enduring resonance of cultural memory over the ephemeral noise of partisan debate.

Alal o Dulal
Azam Khan 

Alal and Dulal / Their father / Is Haji Chand

From Chankharpool they pedal / Until they get home/ Their father is Haji Chand

If Alal goes right / Dulal will go left / Father is exhausted / From searching all day

Where is Alal? / Where is Dulal? / Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere

From Chankharpool they pedal / Until they get home / Their father / Is Haji Chand

If Alal is on the branch / Dulal is on the roof / A plague on our neighborhood / All day

Where is Alal? / Where is Dulal?
