TILOTTOMA MAJUMDAR



In a writing career spanning more than a decade, Tilottama Majumdar has established herself as an insightful observer of the changing face of Bengali society. In the novel that attested her position as one of the most important writers of this generation, Rajpath (2009), she talks about the socio-political effect of river erosion in the Murshidabad district of Bengal. “I wanted to point out how an ecological process manages to change interpersonal dynamics too,” she says.
Her other bestseller, Jonakira, is about the cosmopolitan nature of urban life in Kolkata, but with a twist. “When we talk about a city being cosmopolitan, we automatically presume that we are talking about high society. But I set this novel in a slum where people from different communities negotiate their differences at every step of their lives,” says Majumdar.
Her childhood in the tea estates of North Bengal, where her father worked, gave her a lot of beautiful memories. But most importantly it opened her eyes to the class division contained in a microcosm. “As children it wasn’t spelt out to us, but as we grew older we realised that there were invisible walls. As a daughter of a babu, I couldn’t interact with the son of a common worker,” she says.
