This is the family tree of the Majumdar Family. Spanning over seven generations and almost three centuries, this presents a very interesting view of how the photographs we take have changed over time!
This is a limited view of the plethora of information we could collect on the genealogy of the family, projected through a humble attempt.
Please zoom in for a clear and high-resolution view of the individual details.
'A family history does not have a protagonist, each of its members is turn by turn illuminated and pushed back into the shadows of memory.'
~ Natalia Ginzburg
While Memorabilia starts with an immediate attention to the life and works of Shyamal Kumar, the stories and anecdotes adhering to the other members of the family also will come to prominence in due time. We intend to hammer on the fact that family history is not linear: it does not remain fixed and carries a very fleeting quality of its own.
