A similar plot point appears in a novella where the young protagonist, while working as a volunteer for distribution of food among the marooned in the floods of Tista in the early1960s, comes across a village by the banks of it, where all the inhabitants were ostracised by the society, suffering from a supposedly “incurable” disease.

The author in reality was an alumnus of these two educational institutions and thus could vividly illustrate the cricket match which was played at the picturesque, Oval.

Who is the author and which opposition did “Bhuto-da” take on, in this story titled, “Operation Pontoon Bridge” ?

letters. But I was busy, and I wrote him only one letter and do not even know if he ever received it. I am deeply grieved over his death. Now we are all commemorating him, which shows how profoundly his spirit inspires everyone”

The above is an excerpt from someone’s selected works dated December 21, 1939.

The Comrade had this to say to the practicing physicians: ‘Medicine, as we are practising it, is a luxury trade. We are selling bread at

the price of jewels. ... Let us take the profit, the private economic profit, out of medicine, and purify our profession of rapacious individualism ... Let us say to the people not ' How much have you got?' but ' How best can we serve you?'
