About the Contributors

Very little is known about the identity of the author. Research by scholars into this remarkable work, first published in 1929 by R Chakrabortty of Mymensingh, has cast some doubts over the existence of "Manada Devi". She may, studies indicate, be a figure created for the purpose of this book, a composite of many women who went through similar, harrowing experiences. The other possibility is that she guarded her identity so effectively that the real Person was never identified.

The translator has won awards for his translations of Bengali fiction, non-fiction and poetry into English. Over 60 of his translations have been published so far in India, and several of them in the UK and the USA.

His translation of Ashoke Mukhopadhyay's A Ballad of Remittent Fever was longlisted for the JCB Prize 2020, and his translation of Manoranjan Byapari's There's Gunpowder in the Air was shortlisted for the JCB Prize 2019.
