Medici of BSSM (410 6th St. S.E. connection)
Apartment 314, 410 6th St. S.E., Minneapolis, MN-55414 have thrown out luminaries of BSSM, Subhrajit Roychowdhury, Kalyanjit Ghosh,Saurav Mitra,Rajesh Mukherjee, Jami Hafiz, Shaikh Mubassar Ali, Rajarshi Guha Niyogi, Partha Sarathi Mukherjee and Shankhadeep Das. Oldest among them all was Rajesh Mukherjee, who was a resident since the year 2002. Conscious efforts were made by each one them to preserve the BSSM relevance in terms of having direct or indirect modes of engagement with respect to the society.
410, 6th St. S.E. is a property which belong to Steven Scotts Management.In the same building, the other residents had been Paroma Chakraborty, Sombuddha Chakraborty, Baishali Bakshi and Snigdhanshu Chatterjee. People who know them are aware of their humongous significance with respect to BSSM. What Jorashanko was to Renaissance of Bengal, 410 6th St S.E. was similarly the epicenter of BSSM.
It is widely believed that, ex-410 residents made a concertedly serious effort, so that the focus of power of BSSM lies within them. So that, it had to never let it go. In some form or the other, they would try to hold it onto themselves. One would constantly see the above set of names crop-up in a more frequent manner as opposed to others in the public space and discussion. One can check it, if one goes through the list of names involved in past Pujo Committees on web (http://www.tc.umn.edu/~bssm/) and Magazines(issues of Journal of Durga Pujo.)
However, this 2010 May, the connection got severed. The last BSSM residents of Apartment 314, coincidentally were the last BSSM residents of 410 6th St. S.E. as well, namely, Subhrajit Roychowdhury, Partha Sarathi Mukherjee and Rajarshi Guha Niyogi, who had to separate out on logistics issues. Thereby bringing down a warehouse that stood for 8 years.
A good question to ask, what kind of legacy did 410 leave behind ?
