: In terms of content, it is also worth noting that the earliest English editions of this book were published under the title, ''Problem of the Day'', not "Problems (pl.) of the Day". The change of title was an editorial decision that is not necessarily correct. The speech was given in Bengali; and the title of the book, as first and still published in Bengali, is ''Ajker Samasya (আজকের সমস্যা)''. That title may be translated as either "Problem of the Day" or "Problems of the Day". My own reading of this book inclines me to think that Sarkar was talking about the various dimensions of a single, predominant problem: capitalism. Hence, I personally prefer the original title of the book (and, for what it's worth, by and large the original English text of the book) as translated by Professor Nardeva Gupta. | : In terms of content, it is also worth noting that the earliest English editions of this book were published under the title, ''Problem of the Day'', not "Problems (pl.) of the Day".

[[The_Process_of_Initiation#Naming_the_initiated_person]] — Deva is added as suffix. Does it become "Devi" for women as in "Sarala Devi"?
