Introduction: A Captivating Chronological Collection
Achintya Kumar Sengupta (1903–1976) was a prominent Bengali poet, novelist and editor of the 20th century. He is best known in Bengali literature for his central role in the Kallol literary movement. He is known to the readership as a prominent author of over 100 books. He was always in favor of modernity and focused on the lives of ordinary, working-class people. Sengupta often contributed to and later edited the famous Kallol magazine. He has received accolades such as the Rabindra Smriti Puraskar (1975), the Sarat Chandra Smriti Puraskar (1975) and the ‘Jagattarini Puraskar’ for his special contribution to literature and journalism.
Career and Recognition
He was born in Noakhali (now Bangladesh), moved to Kolkata and was educated in English and law. He started his career as a temporary Munsef in 1931 and retired in 1960 after being promoted to the posts of sub-judge, district judge and special officer of the Law Commission. He had a successful career in the judiciary and retired as a Chief District Judge. Achintya Kumar took over the publishing of the newspaper ‘Kallol’ in 1925. He was also associated with the newspaper ‘Bichitra’ for a short time.
An Innovative Poetic Power—Achintya Kumar Sengupta
His poetic power was always awake in his artistic work of embellishing Bengali prose. But in his recent works, Achintya Kumar has discovered such a simple and straightforward form of Bengali prose that it has become natural and spontaneous even in the mouth of an illiterate farmer of Bengal. Artists consider the use of rural dialects to be almost indispensable in order to create regionalism or locality while giving language to the voice of the rural people.
But the author Achintya Kumar has discovered a universal form of language and put it in the voice of the people. Perhaps the purity of the Bhagirathi bank dialect has not always been preserved in it, but there is no doubt that it has increased the wealth of Bengali literary stories.
As an Artist
As an artist, Achintya Kumar is as diverse as he is diverse. His sense of life begins with poetic imagination. Not only was there direct experience of his own life and that of his fellow travelers, but the inspiration of foreign literature was also not insignificant. The influence of Hamsun is particularly noticeable in his early works. But Achintya Kumar’s true liberation from the bondage of his mind came through the diverse experiences of the townships.
As a Traveler
He had to travel around the cities of Bengal on the orders of his government service. He met so many different men and women in so many different environments. He witnessed the big and small puppets of the townships, their bottomless pride, their mutual rivalry and arrogance with his own eyes. He saw the hectic daily life of the lawyers, the bailiffs, the beggars, the litigators, and the philanderers. He made their lives the subject of new literature with satire and humor, sympathy and kindness.
Visioning Power—Achintya Kumar
But his vision was not limited to revealing the nature of the upper class of society, he went beyond the narrow boundaries of the city and moved forward into the insignificant happiness and sorrow of the ordinary people of the remote villages. His recent works on “Wood-Straw-Kerasin”, “Bor-Cobbler-Dom”, “Cultivation-Bhusha” have expanded literature to new horizons. In particular, Achintya Kumar’s writings have gained unique prominence in this era in the words of the happiness and sorrow of the intimate life of the poor Muslim people of Bengal, who had been almost neglected by our responsibilities until now.
A Captivating Chronological Collection
And the identity that has become clear in this long life-course of the writer is that he is not an interpreter of life, he is a shaper of life. Interpreting and analyzing life in a particular way with a problematic view is not his religion, but his nature is to perceive life with an incisive poetic vision and transform it into an artist’s pursuit. Even poverty has not become a problem in his literature. It has come as an experience of life. The diverse world is constantly flowing past the eyes in the stream of time. At some special moment, a special event or character-mystery makes the poet’s vision exalted and glorified. Achintya Kumar has captured the joy of searching for that mind-expanding life-mystery in his short stories.
