Periodical literature has acquired a new dimension in the digital era.To quote our great poet Rabindranath Tagore: “বিশ্বজোড়া ফাঁদ পেতেছ, কেমনে দিই ফাঁকি! /আধেক ধরা পড়েছি গো, / আধেক আছে বাকি।” Following the great poet we are still in search of that elusive; and now we have our own chariot – our brain-child “Prantik Gabeshana Patrika”, that hopefully is going to justify its name throughout the world with the wink of the ‘mouse’. Our mission is the unification of the various intellectuals from every sphere by providing them the opportunity to publish their fundamental research works through our Multi-lingual, Multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed, bi-annual periodical.

Santiniketan Sahityapath started its journey on 13th November 2014. From the day the voyage begun, it had far-reaching plans. In course of time, the original name of the society has changed for various reasons. Despite the change of the name, we are still clinging to the word ‘literature’. Because our main objective is to make Santiniketan Sahityapath a true literary platform as much as possible for young and marginal writers. It is not our goal to tie up with Postmodern literature. It is our intention that unreformed free nationalistic thought should be expressed in the form of literature. Our vision is to compose and publish the art of speech together within India and abroad.Since its beginning, Santiniketan Sahityapath has been walking steadily to reach its goal. Days have passed by peacefully. Now Santiniketan Sahityapath has become a big family. Let this Sahitya Parishad spread all over India beyond the borders of Bengal. This desire has been with us since its birth. Let all of us be ‘relatives’ – “𝑽𝒂𝒔𝒖𝒅𝒉𝒂𝒊𝒗𝒂 𝑲𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒂𝒌𝒂𝒎” (“वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्” ) that desire is inherent in Indians.
