Sankha Ghosh inaugurates Bengali literary meet

Jnanpith awardee Sankha Ghosh on Friday inaugurated the three-day 'Appejay Bangla Sahitya Utsav', being held at Rabindranath Tagore's birth place Jorasanko, here.

A five-member team of poets and writers from Bangladesh is taking part in the event.

Tridib Chatterjee, whose Patra Bharati is one of the organisers of the meet, said a distinct flavour this year is the visit of five eminent authors-publishers from Bangladesh, "the only country in the world with Bengali as its national language."
