- July 29, 2016
Author, Activist, Mahasweta Devi, passed away in Kolkata on July 28th of a multi-organ failure after she suffered a heart attack.
The 90 years-old played a massive role in empowering the oppressed. Most of her works were dedicated to those who belonged to the oppressed class. Some of her works included Hajar Churashir Ma (Mother of 1084), Aranyer Adhikar(Right to the Forest) Jhansir Rani (The Queen of Jhansi), Agnigarbha (The Fire Within), Rudali, Sidhu Kanhur Daakey.
Even though she enjoyed a celebrity status, her ways of life were simple and modest.
She was born to a middle-class family in 1926 in Dhaka. In those times, her father was a renowned poet, and uncle a filmmaker.
JWB mourns the loss of the renowned author and prays that she rest in peace.
