Literature
As a Marxist poet, Bandyopadhyay vividly portrays the "lives of toiling masses, particularly their problems, social conflicts, intrigues and inner complexes" with poignant poetic expressions.[2][3] A presidium member of Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, Bandyopadhyay is also a vehement activist against communal violence in Bangladesh. He champions secularism and non-communalism in Bangladesh; to protest attacks on minority communities in Bangladesh, he wanted to receive self-imprisonment in 2013.[4][5]
Professor Bandyopadhyay's "essays speak of establishing a plural and classless society. They also unveil religious orthodoxy and fanaticism, and bring out the causes of cultural imperialism."[6]
