- | Updated: October 13, 2015 14:39 IST
Several elite writers and poets have also resigned their posts in the 20-member General Council of the country's top literary body, saying that they were shocked at the level of intolerance on freedom of speech and expression.
Hindi writer Uday Prakash was the first to return the prestigious award. Writer Nayantara Sahgal and poet Ashok Vajpeyi followed Prakash in protesting the murders of rationalists like MM Kalburgi, Govind Pansare and Narendra Dabholkar. They also came out against the shocking Dadri incident, in which a mob lynched a Muslim man in Greater Noida over rumours of eating and storing beef.
At least 16 litterateurs have returned the prestigious Akademi award, while four have resigned elite posts of the organisation.

अछूत रवींद्रनाथ का दलित विमर्श
Out caste Tagore Poetry is all about Universal Brotherhood which makes India the greatest ever Ocean which merges so many streams of Humanity!
आप हमारा गला भले काट दो,सर कलम कर दो लब आजाद रहेंगे! क्योंकि हिटलर के राजकाज में भी जर्मनी के संस्कृतिकर्मी भी प्रतिरोध के मोर्चे पर लामबंद सर कटवाने को तैयार थे।जो भी सर कटवाने को हमारे कारवां में शामिल होने को तैयार हैं,अपने मोर्चे पर उनका स्वागत है।स्वागत है।
Why do I quote Nabarun Bhattacharya so often?
এই মৃত্যু উপত্যকা আমার দেশ নয়!
এই মৃত্যু উপত্যকা আমার দেশ নয়!Nabarun Da declared it in seventies!
Bengal has no courage to raise voice against the fascist racist HIT LIST or the governance of Fascism,I am afraid to speak out.Rest of India follows Nabarunda in creativity as creativity is all about the acts activated to sustain humanity and nature.Reactionaries have taken over the world and Bengal remains the colony!
