Kathashilpa Publishing House
Kathashilpa (literally, the Art of the Word), of 19, Shyamacharan De Street, Calcutta 700073 (now Kolkata) was founded in 1959 by Abani Ranjan Ray (1932–2008) and friends like Indranath Majumdar. It became a rendezvous of radical intellectuals and artists of Calcutta, including those with extreme left sympathies. It stayed alive for more than thirty years and published a number of books that would later become classics in their respective fields.
==Left ideology, drama and folk art ==
Abani Ranan Ray originally hailed from the Bankura district of West Bengal. Till 1952, he had been associated with the Bombay (now Mumbai) unit of the Indian People's Theatre Association (IPTA), where he was very close to stalwarts like the linocut artist Chittaprasad Bhattacharya (1915–1978). In 1952 he came to Calcutta. In the 1950s West Bengal was going through a ferment. The ban on the Communist Party of India had been lifted and it had fared well in the general elections of 1952. Shortly after, the Food Movement electrified the political atmosphere. With his IPTA background, Abani Ranjan Ray himself had pronouncedly left leanings. His close associates were mostly non-party left intellectuals such as Khaled Choudhury. The Kathashilpa logo was designed by Khaled Choudhury, arguably the last among the living legends of Bengali culture.
Kathashilpa was not just a publishing endeavour. It was a creative hub for various cultural activities, including drama and folk music. Several folk-singers and folk-specialists were close to it. Ranen Ray Chowdhury (who sang in a number of Ritwik Ghatak films), Kali Dasgupta, a well-known folk-singer and collector, Khaled Choudhury, and the folk- and mass-singer Hemanga Biswas (whose centenary will be celebrated in 2012) were very close to Kathashilpa. Montu da, along with Ranajit Singha (a notable poet, folk-song enthusiast and photographer) and Nihar Barua (renowned folk singer), was associated with the Folk Music and Folklore Research Institute. The first and only journal of the institute, published by Kathashilpa, is now a collector's item. Among drama personalities, Tapas Sen (the lighting wizard of the stage), Subrata Nandi and Asit Basu were regular inmates of Kathashilpa, not to mention Sunil Kumar Chattopadhyay, the eminent Shakespeare and Howard Fast translator).
