==Career as a writer==<br />
Bandyopadhyay's first story was published in the magazine ''Abasar'' of Berhampore. He later penned many works, but, his masterpiece is considered to be a four-part tetralogy on the Partition; ''Nilkantha Pakhir Khonje'',"Manusher Gharbari" ''Aloukik Jalajan'' and ''Ishwarer Bagan''. Another famous writer of Bengal, [[Syed Mustafa Siraj]] has compared ''Nilkantha Pakhir Khonje'', with Greek tragedies and also found it tuned with the core spirit of [[Bengali literature]] like [[Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay|Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay]]'s ''Pather Panchali''.<ref>Ishwarer Bagan by Atin Bandyopadhyay, 1st combined edition, Karuna Prakashani, Kolkata, Oct. 2000</ref><br />
