Dipendranath Bandyopadhyay (1936–1979) was a Bengali writer, editor, correspondent and political activist. He reshaped Bengali prose writing in late 1950 to 1970, with his deft portrayal of love, protest and anger in post-independence Bengali milieu. Associated with left political activities as student, active member of the Bengal Provincial Student Federation (BPSF), the provincial branch of All India Students Federation (AISF) Dipendratnath was a narrator of the turbulent socio-political vortex of his time. He wrote 51 short stories, 5 novels - including one unfinished - and significant number of reportage or newspaper articles, during his short-lived creative period. Specially his reportages were popular in Bengali readers. Increased political and organisational activity reduced his literary activity which decreased to a trickle in his twilight years.
