Prafulla Roy, awarded by Sahitya Academi, is a prolific fiction writer in Bengal. He came to India penniless from the then Pakistan after the partition of the country. He has had to struggle hard to gain a foothold in a newer land. Apart from the trauma of the partition he had faced the aftermath of the second world war, the great famine, the bloody communal riots. Once he took to travel throughout the country to experience the living of the struggling people to minimize his own. He had been among the tribals in Nagaland, the untouchables in Bihar, the rootless people from the mainland in the Andamans etc.– most of whom later reappeared flawless in his writings. Prafulla Roy’s writings depict powerfully and authentically the prevailing realities in both urban and rural situations. His characters are drawn from every segment of the society—be they professional, skilled or unskilled, of lower, middle or higher economic preferences. That helps the reader discover the multidimensional social maze in India. He has written more than 150 books including his novels and short stories. Many of Prafulla Roy’s fictions have been filmed, and a few of them bagged the national and international film awards. He also worked in the literary sections of a number of Dailies in his later life.
