Anirban Bandyopadhyay, a prominent writer from the 1980s, is known for his rationalist, history-conscious, and scientific approach to literature. For over four decades, he has remained an active figure in the Bengali literary sphere. Notably, he has never written for commercial magazines, choosing instead to contribute to little magazines, blogs, and web publications.

His literary journey began with poetry, and his first published collection, Biponno Sottar Chitavashma, marked his entry into the world of letters. Over time, his writing expanded into essays and non-fiction, with his second book, Lingapurana, establishing his presence as a thought-provoking essayist. He has since authored numerous essay collections, including Nastiker Dharmakotha, Juktibadir Chokhe Ram O Ramayan, Mahaplabon, Bharate Islam Bharatiyo Muslim (Volumes 1 & 2), Netajir Mrityujog, Noh Nari Noh Purush, and Juktibadir Aloye.

During the 1980s and 1990s, he worked as a journalist for various newspapers in Kolkata. His extensive experience in journalism, coupled with his deep passion for historical inquiry, eventually led him to write Gonika Darshan. We take immense pride in presenting this book to readers across Bengal and Bangladesh, with the hope that it will enlighten and enrich their understanding.
