World of Manoj Das

“SRI AUROBINDO” was written by Manoj Das way back in 1972 during the birth centenary celebration of Sri Aurobindo and published under the series “Makers of Indian Literature” by Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi. 

Most popular book among the people interested in Sri Aurobindo, the book has undergone several imprints and is translated into various languages of India.

Sri Aurobindo in the First Decade of the 20th Century” was first published in 1972, the year of Sri Aurobindo’s first Birth Centenary .It is the outcome of the research done by Manoj Das at London and Edinburgh on Sri Aurobindo’s role in freedom struggle during that time.

“STORIES OF LIGHTS AND DELIGHT” Written by Manoj Das it is probably the highest sold Children’s book in India. Published in English first in 1970, the book has been translated into Oriya, Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu, Gujarati, Bengali, Khasi , Gar and Malayalam. Still available in the market and published by National Book Trust, it is probably the only children’s book existing in the market for continuously 41 years.

“CHASING THE RAINBOW-Growing up in an Indian Village’ is an account of the childhood experiences of Manoj Das who, in the words of Ruskin Bond, is one or the few good storytellers left in the world today.

Imbued with a spontaneous sense of wonder, the work leads us to a quiet and serene village by the sea and the enchanting worlds of a few other rural spots: where a dreaded butcher turns out to be a messenger from a goddess while a princely exterior hides a hapless vagrant. Even the ghosts are not frightening here and a voyage to the alien horizon across the river is filled with the promise of romance and surprises.
