Daniela Cappello on the death of Sandip Dutta

 Daniela Capello লিখেছেন :

I am so saddened to learn that our friend Sandip Dutta has left us. He was the founder of the Little Magazine Library and Research Centre (1978) in the hidden gali of Tamer Lane nearby College Street, Kolkata. He authored many books and was himself editor of various little magazines in Bengali. How many good memories of hours spent consulting and photographing dusty magazines, pamphlets, leaflets and all about the Hungry Generation that Sandip managed to track and store autonomously and independently over the decades in that small and yet densely packed treasure of literature. Thanks to his effort the LM library became one of the largest, perhaps the only, archive of alternative literature in India. It was thanks to Sandip that I first learned the sense of navigating little archives, of treating fragile documents with care, and especially of creating bonds over time, with caretakers. Sandip was one of them. I am so sorry I couldn't be there earlier to say goodbye. অনেক ধন্যবাদ সন্দীপ দা! আমরা সবাই আপনাকে মিস করবো!
