This kind of fazlamo is only possible by Sunil. He is very serious and a lot of thought process has gone behind this statement though! The class character of Humayun Ahmed's characters and protagonists is some thing that gels well with Sunil - a pest of his own kind with mastery in story telling and backed by the most reactionary Anandabazar speak for each other. Sarat babu;s capture of the time, the effect of the colonial plunder in micro lives, in the life of the women and those who fought the last ditch battle for the village production system and the village society, the intricacies, the complex femininity in such a system, the meaning of the transcendence of female sexuality beyond the chemical needs of genitalia are some awesome things in Saratbabu that is unparallel in world literature. Humayun with his non-committed middle class cadaverous cocoon like behavior is as disgusting as the characters of Sunil and Budhhadev Guha, a shade better than Buddhadev and so akin to Anandabazar like "fun" was rightly picked up by Sunil- along with the luxurious life style of the duo and parasitic fame all are in the same league! No wonder Sunil would say so!

Hope you read the piece by Sunil Gangopadhya who says Humayun Ahmed's position as a fiction writer (kothashilpi) in Bangla is above that of Sharotchandra Chattopadhya. That is a huge compliment! I know Sunil-da and I know that he is an honest and serious litterateur. I respect his opinion on Humayun Ahmed.

Humayun Ahmed was a good friend of mine for twenty years,1974-93. His literature was mediocre, but he earned enviable popularity. I am sure he would be remembered for a while.On Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 5:20 AM, Jiten Roy <jnrsr53@yahoo.com> wrote:
I had a chance to watch only a few of his TV-dramas; styles were so unique that – I could identify his dramas later on only after hearing a few dialogues.
Humayun Ahmed was the 'morning star' of the literary circle in Bangladesh. He has given a new life to the TV-drama-world in Bangladesh. I am sure - he has shown ways to so many lost drifters through his novels, dramas, and writings. I have never met him personally but - the news of his departure felt like a loss of a close relative. May God rest his departed soul with peace and tranquility for eternity!
