Bijan Bhattacharya (1915-1978) was born during the
transitional period of the 1st world war and his literary talent
and recognition as a dramatist got its fulfillment during the
2nd world war and its aftermath. He became famous in the
field of literature in Bengal as a great dramatist, producer,
actor and stage director. During his student life he was a
follower of Gandhian Philosophy and became an active
member of Indian Students` Federation and was influenced
by Marxism. Later when Indian People`s Theatre Association
(IPTA-25th May, 1943) was established, he became an active
member and dramatist in the anti Fascist movement known
as ‘Janajuddha’ .During those days our country was suffering
from the ill effects of war, famine, black marketing, flood
etc. A staunch believer in the Marxist mass movement he
developed the cultural activities of the Indian People’s
Theatre Association with the aim to get freedom from the
black shadow of imperialist power, and expressed his historic
revolutionary artistic quality. The main message of IPTA was
“The new should address the issues of hunger and the
poverty without any social political dependence with utmost
sincerity”. IPTA first staged ‘Aagun’ (1943) written by Bijan
Bhattacharya, but his more successful creation of the drama
th
‘Nabanno’ was staged (24 October, 1944) in ‘Srirangam
Theatre’. Consequently, this drama created a land mark in
encouraging new line of movement and revolutionary
activities by avoiding the traditional line of thinking.
However he left IPTA due to difference of principles in 1948
and founded ‘Natyachakra’ in collaboration with
Digindranath Bandyopadhyay and still later he established
‘Calcutta Theatre’ and ‘Kabach Kundal’ Theatre. He had
written about 25 plays a few novels, short stories and had
also produced, directed and acted in Cinemas as well.
