Short stories from the 1950s
Tall tale. Tiny title. Ghanada's USP lay in two-syllabic names. 'Robinson Crusoe Meye Chhilen' breaks this trend.
Ajit Gupta re-defines our hero's look in the first published book.
1950 - Knaach
1952 / Earlier - Robinson Crusoe Meye Chhilen
1952 - Tupi
1952 - Laattu
1953 - Dada
1954 - Phuto
1955 - Dnaat
1957 - Hnaash
1958 - Shuto
1959 - Shishi
'Knaach' ('Glass'), 1950
Lens Defence
. From 'Knaach' onwards, Protul Bandyopadhyay's Ghanashyam appeared equally old in the
present & flashback sequences.
. A rare expresson of surprise on Gupta-Ghanada's wooden visage.

'Robinson Crusoe Meye Chhilen' ('Crusoe Was a Girl'), 1952 or Earlier
Defying Defoe
A tale with many firsts...
. First to feature Ghanashyam's alternate audience of elderly evening strollers :
Ramsharan, Shibapada, Harisadhan and Bhabataran.
In the1952 book version, Bhabataran is called Chintaharan.
​
. First one placed outside the 72 Banamali Nashkar Lane mess. Backdrop : South Kolkata Lake.
​
. First and only story where our hero or his predecessors have no role to play.
​
. First with a prominent female character.
​
. First Ghanada aimed at mature readers.
. First instance (of several) where we'll beg you to help us with info, pix etc.
'Robinson Crusoe Meye Chhilen'-s first appearance is unknown.
Obviously it was before being added to the anthology 'Premendra Mitrer Sreshtho Gawlpo' in 1952. Can anyone give us a clue ?

. Treated more often as a neutral short story, than part of the Ghanada oeuvre, this amazing tale slipped between the covers of several Premendra anthologies.
