Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar

March 21, 1949

All that I need to say is that the Roxy¹ performance and all the work you have done for us in Bengal had our full support and approval. I don’t know who can have said that it was a disservice or what that could mean, there was no ground for saying so and it is a wholly unjustifiable aspersion.

¹ Roxy – a cinema-cum-Theatre Hall of Calcutta where Dilipda sang. Tagore used to bring his Santiniketan Dance Troupe to perform there, Uday Shankar’s first dance was staged there under Haren Ghosh, an impresario friend of Prithwi Singh and Dilipda.
