Rabindranath and Dhaka Viswavidyalaya

Informing his visit to Lakhnau, rabindranath wrote a letter to Ramesh Chandra;
" I want to change the date of going to Dhaka for two days more, lest I became able to reach there on 3rd Jan, 1926. I will be working there on and from 6th after reaching on 5th. I have decided that. I hope there will be no difficulty. I have left the idea of going there by ship."
It was settled, upto this date, that Rabindranath will remain at the Govt. quarter of Prof.Ramesh Chandra Majumdar as a guest. But since the formation of the reception committee, a natuaral sense of jealousy developed among the Bengalees.  If Rabindranath remains a a guest of Ramesh Chandra , his importance would be increased which was not enduarable by others and a complex situation was developed. 
   In the magazine, The Bengalee, this report of complex situation developed at the news of staying as a guest by Rabindranath in the quarter of Ramesh chandra was published in details. The name of Apurba Kumar Chanda was given due importance. Ananda Bazar Patrika wrote on 8th Feb;
" Some complexities and disturbances were developed at the instance of the visit of Rabindranath in Dhaka. After three days verbal  war, reign of peace was prevailing."
A famous researcher Gopal Chandra Roy collected all the documents from Rabindranath and other persons and got all the informaions from Rabindranath to write a book " Rabindranath In Dhaka".
