A critically acclaimed stinging narrative by the legendary Bibhutibhusan Bandopadhyay, the title of 'Einstein o Indubala' reflects the pathological low intellectual taste of the masses that could not distinguish between class and gloss. The story is a dark sarcasm that mocks the trite, banal, and trivial - a symptomatic occupation that lacks intellectual curiosity, imagination, and common sense in identifying and appreciating real quality in the face of mindless temptations and a false sense of glamour.
The deliberate parody portrays the quintessential opposite poles of the human intellect to bear on the author's focus on this paradoxical human behavior in the garb of a comical display of human apathy and indifference to appreciate something great.
Reflect on this masterclass from one of the classical masters of Bengal literature that rings true even in today's context and society.
