📘 About the Book
"Shillong-er Diary" by Shankar Chakraborty captures the turbulent pulse of Shillong during a crucial socio-political period in 1993–94. This book is a poignant chronicle of a hill town grappling with two decades of unrest — riots, curfews, strikes, and political tension that deeply affected everyday life.
Through 180 diary entries, the author weaves a narrative filled with lived experience — a blend of reportage, memory, personal anecdotes, and the quiet poetry of uncertainty. More than just personal notes, these entries build a vivid, almost cinematic portrayal of Shillong’s transformation — from a peaceful town into a conflicted city struggling between progress and disillusionment.
The book is beautifully complemented with 30 expressive sketches by Maynul Haque, a prominent Northeastern artist and a worthy disciple of the legendary Somnath Hore, adding another powerful layer of visual storytelling.
A must-read for those interested in Northeast India, political memoirs, and the intersection of art, memory, and history.
