PRABIR GOSH

Born on 1^st March 1945, Prabir spent his early childhood in railway towns of Kharagpur and Adra. Growing up with god-fearing parents in this multicultural township, Prabir had keen interest in gods and godmen. As a child he spent hours with these religious people. As a result, he learnt magic and all the other tricks these godmen practiced, at a very young age.
Teacher Subhendu Roy instilled in him, the interest in sociology and in the power of political motivation behind all human endeavours. He grew up have keen interest in politics and developed excellent oratorical skill.
In his college days, he started writing in premier Bengali magazines and dailies. An avid reader, his interests include anthropology, archeology, history, psychology, sociology and of course, politics. As a result, his understanding of the human mind as an individual and the social human being as a species is vast. With this knowledge of the human mind, his keen sense of politics gives him an insight and a rare understanding of all human problems.
He has also completed four collection of series meant for young readers who wish to grew up. Topics like psychology, history, sociology and politics are discussed by way of story-telling in such lucid language that one never loses interest. And the special point of view, which is the trademark of Prabir, never fails to hit the readers’.
Aware of party programmes of all political parties , and their failures and effectiveness, he realized the importance of “Rationalism” as a school of thought which should be systematically developed . Once the Rationalists’ Association was established, he had to face severe animosity from various groups of spirituals and godmen. An immensely courageous and upright person, he faces all attacks , with the help of his keen intellect, understanding and the worldwide network of support and goodwill which he enjoys.

Prabir Ghosh is the 66-years-old General Secretary of the Science and Rationalists’ Association of India and the scourge of every guru, godman, fakir, faith-healer and fat swami for a hundred miles of his home in Calcutta. He is the author of 13 Bengali-language best sellers, among them such classics as ‘Nothing Supernatural’ and ‘Why I Don’t Believe In God’. Despite nine assassination attempts, including a hit-and-run attack by a man on an Enfield motorbike that left Ghosh with four broken ribs, he has waged a lifelong campaign to expose Indian gurus for what he believes they are: charlatans. ‘There was a time when there were a lot of godmen in Kolkata,’ says Ghosh with a schoolboy grin. ‘Not any more.’
