Timeline

1904

Premendra Mitra (4 September 1904 – 3 May 1988) was an Indian poet, writer and film director in the Bengali language.

He was also a practitioner of Bengali science fiction.

His critique of humanity led him to believe that for it to survive, human beings had to "forget their differences and be united".

Premendra Mitra was born on 4 September 1904 at his father's workplace Varanasi.

His ancestral house was at Rajpur in the district of South 24 Parganas of West Bengal.

He belonged to the renowned Mitra family of Konnagar (in Hooghly district, West Bengal).

His father's name was Gyanendranath Mitra and his mother was Suhasini Debi.

He lost his mother at an early age.

Premendra Mitra was born in Varanasi, India where his father Gyanendranath Mitra was an employee of the Indian Railways and because of that he had the opportunity to travel to many places in India.

Having lost his mother, who died during his childhood, he was brought up by his grandparents in Uttar Pradesh and spent his later life in Calcutta (now Kolkata) and Dhaka.

He was a student of South Suburban School (Main) and enrolled for a BA at the Scottish Church College in Calcutta which he left prematurely to study agriculture in Santiniketan with a friend of Rabindranath Tagore, Leonard Elmhirst.

1925

Because it did not hold his interest, he returned to education first on an undergraduate course in Dhaka and in 1925 at Asutosh College in Calcutta where he assisted the research of Dinesh Chandra Sen.

In particular, his creation of the character of GhanaDa [ঘনাদা] (meaning: 'Elder brother Ghana' in Bengali) won him public recognition.

(Not actually written by him, later translated)

He was among the pioneers of Bengali science fiction.

He started writing science fictions to make children and preteens familiar with science.

Ghanada (Original name: Ghanashyam Das) is a middle-aged resident of a mess at 72, Banamali Naskar Lane in Kolkata, West Bengal with the four young members Shibu, Shishir, Gour and Sudhir (the narrator of the stories).

He claims himself to be full of thrilling experience all over the globe (and, even in Mars!) to tackle conspiracies.

Also, some of the stories are about Ganado (Original name: Ghonoram Das [ঘনরাম দাস]) in South America, and Bachanram Das [বচনরাম দাস] in Agra at Medieval India, his ancestors.

1932

First Parashor story is Goyenda Kobi Parashor [গোয়েন্দা কবি পরাশর] (Detective Poet Parashor) in 1932.

Some other stories are:

Two Ghanada tales also include Parashar Barma : Parasharey Ghanaday and Ghanada Phirlen.

Mejokorta is a ghost-hunter.

Books featuring Mejokorta are collected in an anthology named Bhoot Shikari Mejokorta Ebong...

Leela Majumdar translated several Ghanada tales in a volume called Adventures of Ghanada.

1945

First Ghanada story was মশা (The Mosquito) published in 1945.

Mamababu (Maternal Uncle) lived in Burma on account of his service.

Original name of this middle-aged man is never stated.

His expeditions are written in many novels and short-stories, such as:

This character inspired Sunil Gangopadhyay to write his famous Kakababu series.

Parashor Barma is a detective but he tries to be a poet.

2004
