00:00There is a small village near the sea called Deori.

00:12His literary heritage is very big.

00:16He is the son of Premchandji's elder daughter Kamlaji.

00:22And we all know that Premchandji's elder daughter's son was born in a rich family in Deori near the sea.

00:32Her husband Bahadev Prasadji was a great lawyer.

00:36And there was a big name and reputation in the legal world of the sea in the rich family.

00:43In the later days, they settled in the civil line area of the city.

00:50Premchandji was born in 1935.

00:55Premchandji's maternal grandfather was born in the cultural land of literary heritage and literature.

01:05It is obvious that he grew up in the sea.

01:08So he studied in the sea library.

01:10And he did his Ph.D. in the Department of Humanities and Sciences.

01:16And he studied there for a few days.

01:18In the later days, he went to Poland and Austria to do his Ph.D.

01:28And when he returned from there, he did his Ph.D. in Kolkata.

01:34And then he lived in Kolkata for the rest of his life.

01:37It was during his stay in Kolkata that he met Baby Haldar.

01:45Baby Haldar was from a backward area of Kolkata.

01:50And he got married at the age of 13.

01:54As you know, illiteracy is a part of poverty.

01:58And then at a very young age, she faced a lot of problems.

02:04And one day, she left everything and came to Kolkata.

02:08And she worked as a domestic help in people's homes.

02:14In the same way, she also started working as a domestic help in Prabodh Kumar's house.

02:20She studied in Bangla.

02:23And she studied till 5th or 7th grade.

02:26She could speak well.

02:27But it was difficult for her to write and read.

02:30Because education was never the main goal of her life.

02:35Life itself was the biggest challenge.

02:38In the same way, Prabodh Kumar saw her passion.

02:42She read books with great enthusiasm.

02:45She paid great attention to reading and writing.

02:47And from here, Prabodh Kumar...

02:50Because he was an ordinary person, he could not understand this.

02:54The literary and cultural sensitivity that he had...

02:59The genetic...

03:00The internal environment that he had...

03:03The inner environment that he had...

03:05He read in that.

03:07And he inspired Baby Haldar to write something.

03:11The question was, what should I write?

03:13He said, no.

03:15You should write your own story.

03:17Write your own life.

03:19That was also a big problem for Baby Haldar.

03:22A life that had nothing but pain and struggle.

03:26What could she write?

03:27She said, she could not write.

03:29She could not bear to write.

03:31Prabodh Kumar said, write as you feel like.

03:35And then that inspiration became an example in the entire Indian literature.

03:42And Baby Haldar started writing.

03:44Her life began to change.

03:46And slowly, slowly, slowly, she wrote in Bangla.

03:49In her own style.

03:51There was no literary skill.

03:53There was no artistic way.

03:56But it is said that when simplicity...

03:59When simplicity comes down to its essence...

04:03Then nothing can be greater than that.
