Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri

[5] He generally writes in Bengali and has written books like Balmikir Ram O Ramayan, Arjun o Draupadi, Krishna, Kunti Ebong Kaunteyo, and others.

[4] For many years, he has been writing essays on Hindu epic characters in Bengali magazines, including Sarodiya issues in Bartaman, Ananda Publishers, Anandamela, Desh, etc.

[6] Bhaduri writes a regular column, Katha Amrita Saman, which is published in Sangbad Pratidin's Sunday supplement issue Robbar.

In March 2012, Bhaduri began directing a major encyclopedia project intended to compile the Indian epics Ramayana, Mahabharata, as well as the Puranas, which is being sponsored by Bengali book publisher Sahitya Samsad and the Netaji Subhas Institute of Asian Studies.

Jhimli Mukherjee Pandey of The Times of India has said "The encyclopaedia will challenge claims of certain Indian scholars, who under Western influences have often tried to "sanitise" the character of Krishna.

Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri was quoted in an interview as saying– "I thought it would be a good idea since all the smaller encyclopedias I came across on the Puranas were incomplete and didn't have proper reference labels.

And since the story of Ramayana is found in a gist in the Mahabharata, I finally decided that a complete encyclopaedia of the epics and the Puranas is necessary since all these texts and scriptures complement each other.
