The Crime Desk: ‘Time doesn’t pass when it’s on something else; mind doesn’t sit on a friend’s phone; head bangs on the window grill; it seems like no one says like father; Ay Khuku Ay, Ay Khuku Ay… Sung by Hemant Mukhopadhyay and Srabanti Majumdar, this song reminds the children of the absence of a father, who is the giant shadow of the banyan tree in our lives.
Today is World Father’s Day. The day will be celebrated all over the world to show love for the father. Parents are the most important people in every person’s life. Children grow up in their parents’ love. Children’s relationships with their mothers deepen. It can be seen in the subcontinent that children have some distance from their father. But because of that, a father’s love is not less. He spends his whole life with his children and family. To express that gratitude, the day will be celebrated in the country today. Father’s Day is celebrated in 111 countries around the world every year on the third Sunday of June.
The day started with the desire to show respect and love to all the fathers of the world. However, some countries, including Australia and New Zealand, celebrate Father’s Day on the first Sunday of September. Each family will celebrate the day in their own way. Will honor their father. Father’s Day began in the United States. The day was introduced by the Church in Virginia, USA, in 1908. Others say the first Father’s Day was celebrated in Vancouver, Washington. But as usual, Father’s Day advocates are smart dads.
When she was 16, her mother died while giving birth to her sixth child. Sonar was the only daughter in the family. From then on, Dodd’s father took on the responsibility of raising five children, including a newborn, on a rural farm in eastern Washington. After Sonar grew up, he realized how much work his father had to do to raise six children alone. William, in the eyes of his daughter, was a brave, selfless, and good father who gave up all his pleasures and joys for his children.
Sonar Smart married John Bros. Dodd. Sonar’s husband also died shortly after their child, Jack Dodd, was born. In this condition, father and daughter spend their whole lives together. In 1909, Sonar thought of declaring ‘Father’s Day’ to honor his father. Sonar Dodd went to church that year on Mother’s Day. Coming to the event, he feels that there is a need to make a day for fathers like Mother’s Day, where fathers are honored as well as mothers. Love will be expressed. He sent a proposal to the US Spokane cabinet to declare his father’s birthday, June 5, as World Father’s Day. While appreciating his proposal, the Cabinet did not agree to declare June 5 as Father’s Day. They declare the third Sunday of June as Father’s Day. A local newspaper announced the holiday on that day, and various shopkeepers put out a variety of gifts for fathers.
