BENGAL WRITE AHEAD

Bengal Write Ahead’ was a
contest organized by Facebook, in partnership with Rupa Publications, Red FM
and Kolkata Bloggers. It invited people from all over the world to write
about Bengal and submit their articles online. It was an attempt to see how
Bengal is portrayed in the minds of people of various ages and backgrounds.
In Bengal Write Ahead, the top fifty pieces, chosen by an eminent jury, are
brought together. Each one of the articles evokes a unique aspect of Bengal
from cinema, art, sport, literature to the beauty of its landscape, the
wonder that is Kolkata and the delectable range of its cuisine. The pieces
examine Bengal’s past and also look to the future, to see where the state is
headed in a new world. Humorous, nostalgic and hopeful, Bengal Write Ahead
evokes the very best of the Bengali people and their culture.
