Abstract: This paper endeavours to explore and evaluate the identical topics
Nirad C Chaudhuri deals with in his Bangla and English writings. As a
versatile writer, Chaudhuri brought about multifarious issues in his Bangla
and English writings. Of his writings in these two languages, some are similar
and some are dissimilar in topics. Why he made this difference while writing
is a logical question to answer. Certainly, he did not write for the same
audience. He wrote in Bangla for the Bangla-speaking people and in English
for the English-speaking people. He wanted to share his ideas with these two
communities and to remind them of their lost glories. His major identical
topics are nationalism, Rabindranath, imperialism, Indo-British relations,
Hindu-Muslim relations, marriage, love, sex and conjugal life, life and culture
in Bengal, India and England, biographies of famous personalities etc. He
thought that these topics were of common interest to both streams of readers
and they will suit their mental faculties in order to awaken them from their
slumber.
