During the previous Durga Puja season, West Bengal witnessed a surge in public concern regarding citizenship status and the potential exclusion of Bengali speakers. In this tense atmosphere, several community organizers transformed their festival pavilions into platforms for social and political commentary. The Chaltabagan Sarbojanin pandal highlighted the significance of the Bengali language, while the Aswininagar Bandhumahal installation focused on the historical migration patterns of the local population. Additionally, the Ramgarh Raipur Club used its display to draw attention to the struggles faced by migrant workers unable to return home for the celebrations. These creative efforts served as a medium for residents to assert their cultural identity and voice anxieties regarding the shifting political landscape in the region.
