'E Kaler Galpo' , a street drama on the liberation war, was performed on the street side of Nageswari thana sadar of Kurigram district, a northern district on 26 March. It was aPatho Natok. People were fascinated by its simple story, perception and good acting.

E Kaler Galpo is a drama about wartime and the present scenario. In 1971, as leaders of the freedom fighters stood by the tortured, violated and helpless people as protectors. But now-a-days our leaders do not stand by the threatened and the tortured people. The reason is that people are often oppressed by the thugs deployed by the politicians. Surprisingly, the common people who generally prefer Bangla movies demanded another show of the drama. Following public demand, the drama was again staged for the elite audience . In this show for the educated, the viewers found only bad (in their perception) things like violation scenes (although there was no such scene, only the expression after violation) and intimate scenes . The educated did not show a good understanding of the spirit of the drama, as did the ordinary viewers.
