It is a sad situation of one of the founders of the ‘Green Age’ and a poet, novelist, essayist, playwright and editor-in-chief, Padma Bhushan, late Kalandi Charan Panigrahi’s book has been not available to readers for nearly three decades.The novel, ‘Matira Manisha’, first appeared in 1931 and was published thirty-two times in 1976, but it disappeared.Has anyone been moved by the reason for this? The unavoidable need for language protection to be readily available to every bright literary reader. By comparison, any of Rabindranath’s works can be found at the bookstore at any time.A nation can be proud of its literature, music and architecture. The Oriya nation is rich in every way, but we are indifferent to the proper maintenance of all of them.
When we met Mr. Tushar Ranjan Panigrahi, the son of the late Kalindi Charan, to reprint ‘Man of the Earth’ and other works for his permission, he happily said that for some reason it had not been printed for a long time, and now he is happy that it can come to the public eye again.He happily allowed all his father’s writings to be reprinted in succession.
“Man of the Clay” is portrayed by the care of publishers. Mr. Gopal Charan Kanungo, a renowned artist from Odisha, painted these paintings. Nowadays there is a special place of silhouette painting within the various new sections of the painting kingdom.This type of image does not have a plurality of colors or objects.Listening to a good song, as if his voice faded in his mind for a while, a special form or special feeling casts a shadow over the artist’s mind.The combination of characters and small objects of that form is beyond memory.The silhouette image is just a reflection of this shadow. That’s the decent thing to do, and it should end there.
