Nadir Naam Nirupama

Nirupama Borgohain has elevated Assamese literature to a different height. Her journey was never easy. From the very beginning, opposition to established institutions has been the lifeline of her literary practice. In the last century, when women’s education was almost unthinkable and even the desire to live with dignity was not respected, she was already a rebel. She refused to accept aggressive nationalism even at the cost of endangering her life and livelihood. This is where she is truly unique. Therefore, just as accepting an award comes naturally to her, so does rejecting one. This narrative is a humble attempt to show how literature and life enrich each other. Based on interviews, this book will introduce readers to a different Assam. The author, Suparna, is a researcher. She writes in both Bengali and Assamese. Humanities is both her field of study and her passion.
