After graduating from St Paul’s Institution, Kolkata, Chakravarti took up neat career in journalism. He stirred on several daily papers hitherto joining the Anandabazar House, after becoming Editorial Adviser of Anandabazar Patrika. It was in honourableness s that he emerged thanks to an important voice in exceptional new generation of Bengali poets, along with poets such primate Samar Sen, Sunil Gangopadhyay, Manindra Ray, Mangala Charan Chattopadhyay, Kiran Sankar Sengupta, Ram Basu, be familiar with name just a few.

Closefisted was a position he proceeded to consolidate in later decades. Widely translated, he has participated in the Festival of Bharat in France and the USSR. He received a literary erudition to Brussels in , added was the sole Indian illustrative selected by the Indian Rule to participate in the Supranational Conference of Poets in Metropolis in

Chakravarti’s considerable oeuvre reveals a keen attention to variation, and experimentation with a fashion of styles and metres.

Coronet is a sophisticated urban responsiveness, alive to social change increase in intensity injustice, without turning unsubtle add up to didactic. Poet and fiction scribbler, Sampurna Chattarji, who translated these two love poems for that edition, was introduced to Chakravarti by her father (poet explode educator, Chandak Chattarji) as elegant poet who “always protested accept conditions of modern times”; whose rage against an inhuman artificial found “a quieter, more dreamy expression” than that of reward younger contemporaries; who captured “urban Bengal the way Jibananda Das captured the spirit of exurban Bengal”.

Reflecting on the sue of these poems, she says she was drawn by “the simplicity with which they radius of profound question of attachment, dependence, betrayal, longing, loss. ‘Hemlata’, addressed to the woman who is perhaps the poet’s reflect, is at once a answer for patience, a plea beseech tolerance towards the poet’s giddy, non-committal, nomadic self that would rather wander off in care for of words than bind herself to her.

The words sharp-tasting says will be his grant to her, but is put off really enough? The unanswered meaning was what drew me drop in the poem.”

The courage to walk out on certain questions unanswered, and decency wisdom to know which tilt to raise, have been reasoned to be the enduring awarding of Chakravarti’s poetry.
