Rudrendra Prasad Ghosh, (born:16th November, 1944), popularly known as R.P. Ghosh,
is simultaneously recognized as an author, painter, poet, sculptor and a nature‐lover. To pursue
his inherent passion for art and literature; he took early voluntary retirement from a secured and dignified service as ‘General Manager’ of an undertaking, functioning under the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India, in 2001.
Born on 16th November, 1944, at ‘Narail’, a suburb town of ‘Jessore’ district (now in Bangladesh) of undivided India, he became, at an early age, along with his parents and relatives,
a refugee, as a victim of the political turmoil which caused the partition of his homeland, while
forming two sovereign nations – India and Pakistan in 1947.
Crossing the border between the newly formed nations, his parents and relatives took shelter in a refugee camp, and went from there to a resettlement town at ‘Habra’ of District North 24- Parganas, near Calcutta (now Kolkata) in independent India.
He obtained his school education initially from local schools, and also from Ramakrishna Mission Vidyapith (Dist-Purulia, West Bengal, India), a chain of educational institutions, being run under philosophic guidance, formulated by Swami Vivekananda, the great philosopher, social- reformer and pioneer of the Indian Renaissance. Thereafter; he graduated in the Art faculty from the Government College of Art, Calcutta in 1968, and started his initial service career in the advertising profession.
He joined ‘Nehru Science Centre’, under the Ministry of Education and Culture,
Government of India, in 1976 at Mumbai. And in 1983, he joined a leading Corporation, under the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India, at New Delhi.
During his long public service career, he visited several countries, i.e. the United Kingdom, France, Soviet Russia (USSR), Germany (FRG & GDR), Egypt, the UAE and many other countries in the Middle East, number of times.
His creative talents in art and literature reflect his own style of expression, elaborating wide exposures, experiences and interactions with a cross‐section of people in societies from different countries and times.
Apart from his drawings, paintings and sculptures, in the literary area, he has authored eleven titles to date. These also include collections of poems and stories in both English and Bengali language.

From freedom fighters to the plight of women, the bounties of nature, and the beauty of flora and fauna... RP Ghosh has traversed themes beautifully and seamlessly in this wonderful collection of poems.
Born in 1944, at ‘Narail’, a suburb town of ‘Jessore’ district (now in Bangladesh) of undivided India, Ghosh found himself hurtled into the turmoil of life in pre-Independence struggling as a refugee, along with his parents and relatives. The collection offers us a peek into the life of the poet as a young child displaced from the world he knew, on account of the Partition. One must read the poem, Poverty, My Loving Stepmother’ for a portrait of life in those turbulent times.
The menagerie of poems also delves into the poet’s musings during the pandemic, another turbulent time in his life. One gets to see the happenings of the last couple of years through his eyes when the world was held hostage by the pandemic that claimed the lives of thousands of people.
“If it is considered as an offence; and I am sentenced
to death, I shall greatly accept it as an attainment
of my soul’s salvation which is the ultimate desire
of every human being.”
The longest and loveliest poem in the collection is on Bapu or Mahatma Gandhi. The poet’s beautiful description of the ‘father of Nation’ brings to the fore his admiration for Bapu as well as the sorry state of affairs today.
In short, the collection juxtaposes wistful hope and harsh reality in a most evocative way.
