About the Book
Painting Stories
explores the accomplishments, struggles, and livelihoods of traditional artisans in Raghurajpur, a village known for its
patta chitra
painters. In this collection, Helle Bundgaard weaves thirty years of observations and experiences into a tapestry of stories, which together present a poignant image of the lives of Indian craft makers and their personal connections to the art that they create.The painters’ stories are situated in a rich cultural environment and steeped in social relations. For them, painting is more than a livelihood or an aesthetic expression – it is a way of life.
Painting Stories
is a window into a part of our world rarely seen, reminding us of both our rich diversity and our shared humanity. Written with the painters, students, and laypersons in mind, the book includes a discussion of ethnographic storytelling and resources for ethnographic writing, as well as color photographs that bring the stories to life.

Editorial Reviews
“Based on ethnographic observations, Roy and Basu portray vividly the picture of the rarely studied Chinese communities in Calcutta/Kolkata and their changes overtime: migration and settlement, economic activities and occupational profiles, community organisations and ethnic identity, and the impacts of geopolitics, making it a good reading for research and education purposes.”
—Wei Li, Arizona State University
“The work carried out by Kunaljeet Roy and Sukla Basu, by associating the different spaces in the construction of the identity of the Chinese community from India, invites us to a better understanding of this overseas Chinese population in the context of contemporary India. The resolutely geographical approach is part of a humanities and social sciences approach that helps to qualify what are often overly generalised statements about overseas Chinese communities.”
—Catherine Guéguen, Espace, Nature et Culture, Paris-Sorbonne University
