“The Timbaktu Story” by C K ‘Bablu’ Ganguly (1973, EL)
Inspired by ‘JP’ and Fukuoka and driven by developmental and theatre activism, Bablu co-founded the ‘Timbaktu Collective’ in 1990. It has since enhanced livelihood opportunities for marginalised sections by regenerating and reviving the local economy and ecology. Bablu is an Ashoka Fellow, 1993 and an Old Cottonian of the ’73 vintage.
