MANINDRA GUPTA (1926-2018) was born in Goila village of Barishal in undivided Bengal. At the age of eight, he went to stay with his uncle in the Barak valley of Assam. In the Forties, he worked first in a British merchant's office in Calcutta, and then joined the engineering corps of the British Indian army. His childhood and apprenticeship form the subject of a remarkable memoir, Akbay mulberry, written in three parts. Though he began to write in the Forties, his first book of poems Nil patharer akash was published only in 1969. Subsequently, he published several volumes of poetry, novels, as well as essays. He received the Rabindra Purashkar in 2010 and the Sahitya Akademi award in 2011.
