From Assam to the World: Banasmita Das Writes the Tribute Every Student Needs to Read

 


Writers’ Kalam Publishing is proud to welcome the evocative and introspective voice of Banasmita Das, an accomplished writer and literary essayist from Assam, to its upcoming tribute anthology To My Beloved Teacher. Her latest prose submission for the collection is a tender reflection on the enduring influence of a teacher’s presence—not merely in academic growth, but in shaping identity and resilience.

Thoughtful and emotionally rich, her piece delves into the quiet strength of mentorship, the subtle shaping of character, and the deeply human relationship between guide and learner. With this offering, Banasmita brings both literary insight and heartfelt gratitude to the anthology’s evolving mosaic of tributes.

A Literary Voice from the Heart of Assam

Her nuanced writing has appeared in respected platforms such as The Assam Tribune, Booknerdection, Spillwords, and Cold Moon Journal. She curates her thoughtful reflections and literary explorations on her personal blog, Literary Voyage.

In 2025, she released her debut poetry collection Gilded Verse—a celebrated work that captured readers with its meditative and elegant style. With a knack for distilling complex emotional experiences into lucid and resonant language, Banasmita stands out as a distinct voice in contemporary Indian writers.

Her contribution to To My Beloved Teacher continues this tradition. It is a personal remembrance that bridges intellect and emotion, paying homage to those rare individuals whose teachings live on long after the lessons end.
