About Author

Jahar Debnath is the lifeblood of literary culture and social activities and movement in the Dhalai district of Tripura. The only name floating in the air in the sky of the Dhalai district is Jahar Debnath. Born in an obscure village called Lalchhari in the Ambasa subdivision of the Dhalai district, Jahar Debnath is well known today.

From an early age, he was attracted to literature and culture, as well as to science and rational thought, and human values; this makes the boy Jaharlal Debnath inspired to become a devoted writer in later life as well as a successful social worker.

A social organization called ‘Prabha Dhalai’ founded by the revered Jahar Debnath is today one of the leading organizations in the state of Tripura and North East India. Initially, it was only involved in literary and cultural activities, but now it is engaged in multifaceted activities. Literary  

culture, science movement, universal literacy movement, anti-superstition movement, women’s education, and women’s empowerment, child protection, health (HIV / AIDS), environmental protection, etc. are doing multifaceted activities regularly. And sixty boys and girls are working to implement all these multifaceted activities. They are all getting financial benefits for this work. And in the overall management of all these multifaceted activities, the founding officer Jahar Debnath has been showing sufficient skill from the very beginning.

Besides, this little magazine called Prabaha is making history in the Dhalai district and Tripura state under the initiative of the Prabaha Dhalai organization and skillfully edited by Jahar Debnath Mahasaya. At the same time, regular literary chats and discussions with the poets and writers of the district are going on continuously.

He will be treated unfairly if he does not mention one more of his activities as a skilled organizer, which is the ‘Dhalai Sahitya Parishad’ consisting of unorganized poets, writers, and journalists from different parts of the Dhalai district. From the very beginning, this organization has been successfully making its presence known in the literary activities of North East India. It has already organized three successful national and international literary festivals. Besides, the mouthpiece of Dhalai Sahitya Parishad ‘Upatyaka’ is being published under the skillful editing of  Debnath Mahasaya.

Worker Johar Debnath can carry out many activities with skill, but is also very dedicated to the creation of literature with great skill. Although he entered the world of literature with the verse in the beginning, later on, Jahar Debnath Mahasaya has progressed quite successfully in the world of literature by writing short stories and gradually novels. All the impeccable literature is being created in his writing one after another.

Fiction writer Jahar Debnath is astonishing the readers by writing short stories as well as one novel after another. As far as I know, Jahar Debnath is a communist man at heart. He dreamed that one day a communist society would be established all over the world, without religion, without class, and with human values. We see the real reflection of this progressive thought in the first novel ‘Samyavadi’ published in Sri Debnath’s book. In addition to his sociological ideas, we see examples of him being an ideal lover in the two novels ‘Mountain Flower’ and ‘Eternal Thought’ written by him. What is the place of women in the society or what is the status of the heroines in the story of Debnath Babu, we see a beautiful picture of her, later in one of her mischievous creations in the novel ‘Uttaran’.

In addition to adult story novels, he has been equally proficient in children’s literature. He has published a collection of short stories suitable for children and has won the hearts of readers in all parts of the novel.

“Jahar Debnath Sir is a prominent author; his Story ‘Dhalai Parer Rupkotha’ has remarkably made a place in our heart. The book tells the story of the hills, the rivers, and the people of Parvati Tripura. You can feel them while reading the book.” ---

“While reading the book ‘Golpo Dadur Asor’ the immense joy and happiness filled my heart; it's like going back to the old memory lane. When you start reading that story, you can't stop. And that's where the author Debnath's skill is." ---
“ 'Gondachoraya Gondogol' in the context of the rural hills of Tripura in terms of real mysterious events. You can literally see all the scenes of the hill area while reading the book. A worthy treat for book-worms; a beautiful treat to the eyes.” ---
“ Uttoron is a story of a girl’s journey where the light and darkness arises and escapes. A girl who has to fight a terrible battle, she feels every moment pushing darkness in her hands who has decided not to lose in life." ---
