Jatin Sarkar has documented many events of this phase of his life in detail in his magnum opus Pakistaner Janma-mrityu Darshan. But the huge crop of literary works – more than 60 books – that he has produced afterwards has remarkably enriched our literary and intellectual domain. Later he also led Udichi, one of the foremost radical cultural organizations in Bangladesh, for quite some time. Nonetheless, we are lucky that a few devoted scholars and teachers like Jatin Sarkar are still with us. And his exceptionally simple life dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge holds out ever so valuable lessons for us.
