In a bizarre and ironical turn of events, the grandson and daughter-in-law of the legendary artist Nandalal Bose—the man who illustrated the original manuscript of the Indian Constitution—have found their names missing from the electoral rolls. This discovery has sparked a massive controversy in the cultural hub of Shantiniketan.

The omission reportedly occurred during the Special Summary Revision (SR) process. Despite being long-term residents of the area, the artist’s grandson and his wife were shocked to find their names excluded without any prior notice. Nandalal Bose’s contribution to India’s national identity is monumental, and the exclusion of his descendants from the democratic process is being viewed as a peak example of administrative apathy. Local residents and members of the Vishwa Bharati community have expressed their outrage, demanding immediate intervention by the Election Commission to rectify this “insult” to a national icon’s legacy.
