This Website is created by some ardent lovers of the works of Manoj Das. They believe that this writer, a legend in his home state despite living outside it for almost half a century – and also earnestly admired by a wider readership of his writing in English spread all over India and abroad – deserves to be introduced to all those who look for true creative literature that expands and elevates our consciousness.

 We are grateful to Manoj Das for permitting us to reproduce his writings in this forum.
