Shankha Ghosh in the Light of Krittibas: A Sensitive Narrative of
Nation, Time, Society and Humanity Shirin Akhter, Lecturer, Dept. of Bengali Language and Literature, University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB), Dhaka, Bangladesh | ||
ABSTRACT | ||
Shankha Ghosh was one of the leading literary figures
of the 1950s. The inner and outer dimensions of this proverbial poet’s soul
find vivid expression throughout his poetry. His works bear the mark of both
the traditional wisdom of Bengali poetry and a conscious insight shaped by a
global perspective. Alongside his introspective awareness, the poet was equally
stirred by an acute sensitivity to the external world. By giving voice to his
inner feelings and transforming them through the alchemy of his poetic
sensibility, Shankha Ghosh infused his verses with a unique vitality.
As a result, his poetry inevitably reflects
the spirit of his time — the nation, society, and the human condition
surrounding him. His personal consciousness blends seamlessly with social
awareness, and that social awareness, in turn, connects to a broader
cosmopolitan vision. The consequences of the state’s shortsighted decisions,
the suffering of the common people, the dominance of power structures, and his
compassionate yet protest-driven poetic stance deeply move and engage any lover
of poetry.
This paper seeks to explore how this social
consciousness resonated within the poet’s inner world during his time, and how
that inner awareness blossomed into poetry — how it took shape, through the
craft of words, as flowers on the tree of his poetic vision. | ||
