Altab Ali Books

Collective Community

It has been a long time coming and a "collective" have independently worked to preserve and educate the people afar as well as locally about the struggle the Bangladeshi community endured. As a consequences lives were lost, taken by the racist elements of the East End.

One person that cements the Bangladeshi resolve to be "free" to be and live in United Kingdom was the late Altab Ali. Altab Ali was a victim of the "Paki bashing" era and was attacked, mugged and then stabbed multiple times, in his neck and his chest, piercing his lungs. With his injuries he fought off the attackers and made his way to the main street, Whitechapel Road and got himself to the bus stop (which no longer exists and has been moved from the original site). There he placed himself, sat leaning on the bus stand, waiting for help as his drains of blood.

Montage

We have moved on 40 years and yet we know very little about the person and the life he lived and the world he left behind. So to this avail I have been researching and speaking with his friends and family in UK and mainly in Bangladesh to put a series of books together with clarity, facts and first hand accounts.

I have devised series of four short books which will be released one after the other through the "Bangladeshi East End" Label, imprint of MAPublisher.

These books are short and pictorial so that it is affordable and appealing to all section of the community.

1. Book one captures: Altab Ali's life and his family and friends, this book is assisted by the family in Bangladesh.

2. Book Two Captures: The Murder of Altab Ali - in this book we name the 3rd person, who took the knife to him.

3. Book Three Captures: The legacy of Altab Ali - in this book we capture all the things that have happened to support Altab Ali and the anti racist cause.

4. Book Four Captures: This book captures work inspired by Altab Ali, his tragedy; there are poems, artwork, including artist impression of the attack, the demonstrations' and other images related to Altab Ali's journey.

The first book will be out before the forth coming Altab Ali, 4.5 2021.

Lit From Within by Ruth Lewarne

Lit From Within

These poems mostly obey the old rules: they rhyme, they scan, Most of them are Shakespearean style sonnets. they are in iambic pentameter, and rhyme.Those that are longer are also in iambic pentameter, relationship with the Divine within.The subject of the collection is the nature of the soul's Who can do justice to that?
None of us, not really,
But I thought I'd try.'

by Ruth Lewarne

Introduction

I was moved to write these poems to celebrate my 40 years as a student of Prem Rawat, occasionally known as Maharaji, to whom I owe a debt of gratitude that I could never repay - not that I need to. He showed me the source of Love and the means to experience it, which he calls 'receiving Knowledge', and I have practised going within and enjoying the fruit of this Knowledge most of my life.

I wanted to use the most famous form used by our great poets in Europe, the sonnet, since wonderful poetry from the East on this subject, like that of Rumi, Omar Khayyam and Kabir has to be translated from the original language into English.

There are excellent translations of these poets' work, and one can even buy multiple translations to get a full flavour of what is being said. But some are literal, and some take extraordinary liberties with the original (see Fitzgerald's Khayyam compared to Avery/Heath-Stubbs.) 

Sometimes the original is so powerful that versions may stray far from the text and yet remain profound works of art. The thought behind them transcends barriers of language.

It is clear that some of the great poets and writers of scripture were fortunate enough to be students of teachers who connected them to the world within. My teacher deserves similarly gifted poets to sing his praises. I do not lay claim to ability of that kind, and if any of my poetry pleases, it is with the help and inspiration of Prem Rawat.

 Sample...

Star

You are

Like the heartbeat of a huge star

Like a thousand silent lightning flashes

Like  a wind through heaven

Carrying light

On pulsing waves of stillness

Like night

Soft footed, slow

Like fullness

Like the quietness of breath

Like a journey towards home

Where there is peace

Where the traveller rests

And there is no time

No ticking clock

No ending
