In Charanbhumi, Bhagirath Misra weaves a captivating tale of our western uplands, of itinerant shepherds, their lives, their joys and sorrows, strongly imbued with local colours, smells, dialects and idioms. Manikuntala deserves our gratitude for having preserved every bit of the earthy flavour of the original for a wider audience.

Bhagirath Mishra’s life has been diverse and eventful since childhood. He was born and raised in a remote village in Paschim Medinipur district in West Bengal. Surrounded by palm groves, paddy fields, and neighboring tribal settlements, his village also had The Baitarani River flowing through its center. However, in the eyes of the villagers, the river was just a canal—the Baita Canal. There was only one primary school and sub-post office and only two grocery and goldsmith shops in the entire village. Belda Bazaar, 9 kilometers to the east, and Keshiari Bazaar, 9 km to the west were the closest bigger markets that had a lot of traffic there for two days a week. The only hope for transportation is the path built by the feet of people for ages. There are no government-run roadways.
