The Sundarbans, Then and Now
By Ananda Mohan Ray
It was the early fifties (1953 or so) when I dropped out of school in second grade. My days were happily sailing away selling green coconut at Chalna Bazar in East Pakistan, tending the cow herd in the fields, and catching fish in the river on our family boat. But, this carefreeness did not last long. My family was soon moved to the Sundarbans by Refugee Rehabilitation Department of Govt. of West Bengal.
