Incredible, impossible literary exploits of the mighty Bimal Singha

Besides Bishnupriya Manipuri, his mother tongue. Bimal Singha also wrote in Bengali and he was a great connoisseur of Kokborok literature. Some of Bimal Singha’s acclaimed works are:
1. Longtorai: his magnum opus. A vivid portrayal of life in Longtorai, a hill in Tripura. Under running the portrayal is an almost surrealistic story of what can be termed natural love, estrangement, hunger, famine, diaspora, repatriation and reunion. An all-encompassing account of the Reang community with great anthropological value. Calcutta University has recently included this novel in the course of Bengali literature for Master’s degree students.
