forum.banglalibrary.org/viewtopic.php?id=798 Saratchandra Chattopadhyay was a great humanitarian and a literary genius of our times, who, without following the path of extremes in respect of either idealism, realism, traditions, or modernism, trod the middle path in the literary world. He was a fitting example of the utterance of Alisher Navoi, a great Uzbek writer, that he who does not strive for the well-being of mankind, is not a man. Life and works of Saratchandra bear testimony to this. We find in Saratchandra all the noble qualities of a humanitarian. Non-acquisition is one such. We do not find the acquisitive instinct in Saratchandra from his childhood. He had no attachment to anything. He had pleasure in distributing amongst his friends things won in plays, fruits like mangoes, purple berries, guavas, etc., stolen from others’ gardens, and in giving away fish caught in tanks to needy persons. He had greater joy in giving than in acquiring. He earned a lot and gave it away. He even did not attach much importance to the copyright of his work. He was above greed. Humanitarian work is possible only by persons without any greed.
