Nayantara Dash has written that Nabarun not only kept silent about Stalinist purges, Stalin's dictates of executing writers and poets despite having been in Soviet Union for sometime. She further adds that Nabarun Bhattacharya never protested against the killing fields of the Communis Party of India ( Marxist ), especially the Sainbari killing incident in which the widowed mother was fed rice soaked in his son's blood. Her sons were killed and a baby was thrown into the fire by goons of the party. Nabarun kept quiet during the rape and murder of two Unicef ladies who were dragged out of their car and killed ; in one of the lady's vagina a metal torch had been inserted by the goons. Nabarun Bhattacharya kept quiet when petrol was poured on seventeen Sadhus and set on fire who were charred to death. In view of such silences how could one call him Anti-Establishment writer ? Just because he criticised Ananda Bazar Patrika ?
