Literary and social careerBora wrote his first short story, Bhaona, in 1954, which was published in Assamese magazine, Ramdhenu.[3] His first book, Dristirupa was published in 1958 and the next one, Nishar Purabhi in 1962.[1] He published his first novel, Gonga Silonir Pakhi, in 1963, which is reported to have earned critical acclaim, has been translated into 11 languages[3] and was made into a film, under the same name, by Padum Baruah in 1976.[10] The succeeding years saw him active in the political milieu of Assam and was arrested once, in 1981, under the National Security Act.[3] His novel, Akou Saraighat,[11] written during this time and published in 1980, reflects his political leanings to a certain measure.[3] He also founded a weekly, Rangpur, and stayed as its editor till 1996 when he resigned from the post, reportedly due to ideological differences with the owner of the publication.[3] Two more novels, Matit Meghar Chaan (1970) and Bishesh Eraati (1979) and a short story anthology, Sehi Anuraga (1983) followed[1] before he published his novel, Patal Bhairavi in 1986[5] which won the Sahitya Academy Award in 1988.[3] Two novels were published next, Kal Dingare Pal in 1988 and Matsya Kanya in 1995 followed by Preyashi (1996 - short story anthology), Jaa Keri Naahike Upaam and Sehi Gunanidhi (1997 - novel),[1] the latter two inspired by the lives of Sankardev and his disciple, Madhavdev, renowned Assamese saint-scholars.[3] In 2008, he published Kayakalpa, which won the Saraswati Samman from K. K. Birla Foundation.[8] The work has since been translated into 22 Indian languages[8] as well as into English by Biman Arandhara.[4] Lakshmi Nandan Bora has written a number of plays and books on agriculture and environment, taking his publications to a total of 60 books, composed of twenty nine novels and twenty six short story anthologies.[3][6] His short stories, 75 selected ones, have been compiled under the name, Lakshminandan Borar Charita Dasakar Galpa Samagra.[2] His published autobiography Kal Balukat Khoj was also serialized in the Assamese fortnightly, Prantik.[2] His other current projects are two books, one on Hem Chandra Baruah, renowned lexicographer and social reformer and the other, on Lakshminath Bezbaroa, a known Assamese literary figure.[2] He has served as the president of Assam Sahitya Sabha (1996–97)[1][3] and as a member of the Planning Commission of Assam.[4] He has also been the chairman of the Assam Pollution Control Board[3] during the period 1997 - 2003[1] and serves as the editor of Goriyoshi, an Assamese monthly literary magazine.[6][7][12] BibliographySome of the selected publications of Bora are:[1] {{Div col|colwidth=30em}}
