Dipendranath
Dipendranath Bandyopadhyay (1936 –1979), Bengali writer, editor, correspondent, and political activist. Reshaped Bengali prose writing in the late 1950s to 1970s, with his deft portrayal of love, protest, and anger in the post-independence Bengali milieu. Associated with left political activities as a student, active member of the Bengal Provincial Student Federation (BPSF) - the provincial branch of All India Student Federation (AISF) - Dipendratnath was a narrator of the turbulent socio-political vortex of his time. He wrote 51 short stories, 5 novels - including one unfinished - and a significant number of reportage or newspaper articles, during his short-lived creative period. Increased political and organisational activity had an impact on his literary activity which got diminished to a trickle in his twilight years.

Editing
Edited the Bengali periodical - Porichoy - for a brief period. The first issue of Porichoy was published in 1931. From 1931 to 1936 Porichoy was a quarterly. From 1936 onwards Porichoy became a monthly. The second issue of Porichoy printed an adulatory note from Rabindranath Tagore to the editor. In fact, Tagore wrote poems, essays, and book reviews for Porichoy during the period 1932 to 1942. The liberal Sudhindranath Dutta allowed the control of Porichoy to pass on to ‘Anti Fascist Writers Association’ in 1944. It may also be said that this signified the shift of the periodical’s control to Communists and their sympathizers. However, Porichoy always acknowledged its intellectual debt to Sudhindranath Dutta and even as late as 2001 there was a special issue to commemorate the poet’s birth centenary.
