Parabaas Inc. was formed to promote Bengali literature and culture on the internet. We bring to our readers the best of contemporary Bengali writing and carry English translations of work by major Bengali authors.

A part of our mission is to develop and standardize cyber-friendly word processing tools in Bengali and make them freely available to our readers. This effort has naturally expanded itself to include other Indian languages in our scope.

In time we hope to publish  translations of Bengali literature into other Indian languages as well as distinctively "Indian" writing in English. The pace of these developments will depend largely on the magnitude of participation from our readers and contributors.
