Description

This work is a collection of selected articles published over a period of more than five decades in newspapers and magazines. The compiler and editor of this volume, son of the author Nirad, says that his father felt these articles might interest readers today and helped him to trace these out.

The archival quality of the articles, the time span over which these were published and 1997 being the author's centenary year, were instrumental in suggesting the title of the book. The year 1997 is also significant in that it is the fiftieth year since the writing his first book - The Autobiography of An Unknown Indian.
