A death of an elderly person is normal in life but some time time stops to look back who he is taking away with. Mahasweta Devi is one such legend who will never be forgotten by any means. An author , an activist above all a passionate human being for raising voice for the people and cause.
Many may not be ready to accept her, many may be wanted to reject her but none can ignore her voice.
A loss for Bengal in terms of Bengali’s one of the last saga with golden period but they will agree people like Mahasweta Devi will always remain in the heart of the people.
List of the dignitaries expressed their condolence including President,PM and CM of West Bengal.

Mahasweta Devi died. Stood by me during my bad times. The socially committed writer was later involved with TMC & wanted to see Mamta as PM.
