Raja in Madhubani, Bihar

          Raja should really be called an expeditor or facilitator, for he has aided Julian Crandall Hollick in innumerable practical ways on many of his programs about India. The eldest of six brothers, Raja lived his early life in what is now Bangladesh. In the aftermath of the 1971 war between India and Pakistan that led to the birth of Bangladesh, Raja fled to Kolkata, where he lived as a refugee in Sealdah station for many months. A published poet and assistant producer in Tollywood, Kolkata's film complex, Raja has also worked as a live interpreter on all our programs in northeast India, including Letters from Jitvapur, Passages to India, Durga Puja and all our programs about Kolkata.
