যদিও হাওয়া উল্টোপাল্টা

The collection 'যদিও হাওয়া উল্টোপাল্টা' brings together writings that রণেশ দাশগুপ্ত shared with editor মতিউর রহমান between 1986 and 1992. Their acquaintance began in 1963 when দাশগুপ্ত was released from Dhaka Central Jail, and he soon became a powerful intellectual influence on student activists and like-minded young people of that era. His counsel and inspiration shaped many of their initiatives and endeavors.

দাশগুপ্ত's intellectual curiosity spanned art, literature, film, and politics from both home and abroad. He wrote criticism with equal skill across poetry, stories, novels, and cinema, and was also a gifted translator. After moving to Calcutta in 1975, he kept sending his writings to রহমান through various channels whenever opportunities arose. Readers of this compilation will once again encounter the multifaceted, thoughtful, and erudite দাশগুপ্ত they have come to know.
