SHYAMAL GANGOPADHAYA

A major writer of our time, Shyamal Gangopadhyay (1933-2001) brought out around

70 novels and 130 stories besides juvenile fiction and sundry prose. He was born

at Khulna, in Bangladesh now, where he had his schooling though later studies in

Kolkata, interrupted by two years manual labour at a blast furnace. He was a

B.A. and a journalist. He won the Sahitya Akadeni Award (1993) and a number of

other literary prizes.

Shyamal Gangopadhyay is known for his outstanding powerful narratives in

depicting the people breathing in every strata of the society. Seldom Bengali

literature could reach the heights Shyamal could offer nonchalantly. He lived

life of many sorts—a welder in a steel factory, a farmer, a small brick kiln

owner, a reputed journalist, an editor of a ranking literary magazine, a

remarkable novelist and short story writer. Shyamal is known for his unbiased

experiences of life before putting them into fictions. He received Akademi Awards

for his voluminous historical fiction, Shahjeda Dara Shukoh (Prince Dara

Shukoh) on Emperor Shahjehan’s failed eldest son.
