Biography

Maniklal Sinha, son of Amulyaratan Singha and Narayani Debi was born on 13 January 1916 at Joykrishnapur, near Bishnpur.[1] Around 1930, when he was in the seventh or eighth standard, he came in contact with the legendary freedom fighter Bimal Sarkar of Bishnupur's Yugantar Dal and became a member of the Yugantar Dal at the age of 14. Then one by one he became known to other freedom fighters of Bankura district such as Shishuram Mandal, Mrityunjay Bandyopadhyay, Devi Biswas, Sasthidas Sarkar, Himanshu Mukhopadhyay, Birendra Singhadev, Vireshwar Ghosh, Diwakar Das, Vibhuti Das, Umadevi, Prafulla Kundu, Debu Biswas, Patu Badyi, with Mrigen Dutta, Anath Panja, Pradyot Guha, Ashwini Kar and others. After coming in contact with them, Maniklal Sinha became an active member of the Anushilan Samiti while studying in the tenth standard. Later he was initiated into the political ideologies of Pradyot Bhattacharya and Subhas Chandra Bose. It is even known that he attended Netaji's political[7] conference in Bankura in 1933. In 1934, he passed Matriculation from Bishnupur High School (English Medium) and then completed I.S.C from Bankura Christian College. On 16 June 1936, Sinha was arrested from his home in Joykrishnapur on charges of sedition for the crime of Swadeshi. On that day he was kept in Bishnupur Jail, but the next day i.e. 17 June, Sinha was transferred to Mednipur Central Jail[1][7]after that on fourth of September, he was again transferred to Madarganj, Mymensingh . Finally, on 22 December 1937, he was released from jail. In 1938, he married Jui Rani Sinha and later in 1942, he completed a Bachelor's and a Master's degree (1945) from Calcutta University and joined Bishnupur High School as an assistant teacher. He took up teachers training i.e. B.T training from David Hare training college[1] in 1952.

At the age of 78, Maniklal Sinha died[1] due to physical ailments of old age at home. In 2016, S.D.O, Bishnupur and D.M, Bankura, organised few events to celebrate his 101 years of birth day at Bishnupur and Bankura.[8]

Maniklal Sinha and Jui Rani Sinha have five sons. Among of them Pradip Kumar Sinha[9] and Pranab Kumar Sinha[10] are eminent writer, Sukanta Sinha is a publisher,[11] Dr. Srikanta Sinha[12] is a scientist, ISRO, Satellite Center, Bangalore, India and Srikrishna Sinha[13] is an independent researcher.

Works

In the 1970s, Maniklal Sinha discovered a Chalcolithic emplacement at Dihar[2][14][15] north of Bishnupur, on the north bank of Dwarakeshwar river. Coins, beads, semiprecious stone jewellery, and pottery were excavated. Sinha wrote to the archaeological department, University of Calcutta to take charge of it.

Furthermore, his archaeological research was embodied through these books which are Kasai Sabhyata,[16] Paschim Rarh Tatha Bankura Sanskrti,[3] Rarher Jati o Kristi,[11] Subarnarekha hoite Mayurakshi,[17] Rarher Mantrayan[18] etc. These books are the products of the author's lifelong hard work and so much affection for Rarh region.[19]

Moreover, he highlighted the Jhumur song,[20][21] Chunaru families[22] etc. Dr. Susanta Kabiraj,[1] Jadavpur University, in 2002, noted Sinha as a Flok-Culture scholar in his thesis Lokasangskritibid Maniklal Singher Jeeban o Sadhana
