রাঢ় অঞ্চলের দুই কথাকার তারাশঙ্কর বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায় এবং হাসান আজিজুল হক : একটি তুলনামূলক সমীক্ষা

Abstract

Tarasankar Bandyopadhyay and Hasan Azizul Huq are famous Bengali prose writers who hailed from the Rarh area of western Bengal. Hasan Azizul Huq was a well-known writer of Bangladesh, but he wrote the narrative of Rarh Bengal on his childhood memories and experience. He had to shift to East Pakistan with his family after the partition of Bengal in 1947 as his family was from Muslim Community. But he couldn’t leave his birthplace satisfactorily and he went to East Pakistan as a refugee. So, his narrative of Rarh Bengal is strongly attached to the discourse of partition, communal violence, simultaneous Indian political History, and mainly the human struggle for existence. On the other hand, in the world of Tarasankar’s Rarh Bengal, faith in the old can be found intensely. tradition is worshipped through literature by Tarasankar so dedicatedly that he believed the Rarh Bengal would remain eternal with its indigenous folk culture, faith, socio-economic structure, and zamindari system. In this paper, a comparative analysis is discussed between these writers to evaluate the literary perspectives of  Rarh Bengal’s narration by emphasizing the own narrative technics applied by both authors.
