Shreetoma Biswas

The book provides a peek into the inner life of the pioneer of one of India's most thriving cottage industries. It invites the reader to partake of the little wins, quiet sufferings, innovative thrills and artistic victories that went into building the decorative lighting industry in Chandannagar. One comes away appreciating Sridhar Das' imaginative flair and experimental grit as much as empathising with his deeply human shortcomings and regrets. A must read for anyone keen to find out more about novel public art forms in India!
