RAMBLING THROUGH LANES

Ranjit was born in early forties of the 20th century, close to getting independence by india. His home was at a remote village in west bengal state. Ranjit found the village full of natural beauties, simple men and women, deprivation, lack of education, inequality, superstitions, caste wise discrimination, exploitation. He started writing poems in bengali at the age of 13. His resources, at the outset, were stories of the mahabharata mainly and also from the ramayana. He got his masters and ph.D. in science from the most reputed university and institution in india, located in kolkata. Though by nature he was more inclined to literature. Ranjit thinks, all said and done, love and politics would determine the flow of life in the society everywhere. The total back ground would ever be nature. Nature, man, society are interlinked. And they constantly interact. The readers are expected to find these interactions in his poems.
