Manik Bandyopadhyay [alias Banerjee] was an Indian author regarded as one of the major figures of 20th century Bengali literature. His birth name was Prabodhkumar Bandyopadhyay. During the 28 years of his literary career, battling with epilepsy from the age of around 28 and financial strains all along, he produced some masterpieces of novels and short stories, as well as poems and essays. One of the early neo-realist film shot in Pakistan, The Day Shall Dawn, is based on his story.
