Fyataru is a fictional character of Bengali novelist and poet Nabarun Bhattacharya. Fyatarus are lower class flying human beings who like to make chaos in the so-called civil society. [1] These characters are the part of creation of Bhattacharya's Magic realism. [2]
Nabarun Bhattacharya introduced Fyataru as a magical set of human beings to Bengali readers. It is believed that Fyataru was the most outstanding creations of his literary life. The Fyataru first appears in a short story published in Proma magazine in 1995. [1] [3] The word fyat means the sound created by kites while they are flow and uru[ clarification needed] relates with flying. Further in Bengali language 'fyat' also implies something worthless. Fyatarus belong to marginal section of society, who unsettle diabolical political structures and evil interests through pinpointed mayhem. [4] They are anarchist, underclass in nature, fond of sabotage and are capable of flying whenever they utter the fyataru's anthem "fyat fyat sh(n)aai sh(n)aai". [5] [6] This anthem was made into a song by a Bangla band Chandrabindu in one of its albums. They appear in his books Mausoleum, Kaangaal Maalshaat, Fatarur Bombachaak, Fyatarur Kumbhipaak and Mobloge Novel. Fyatarus can easily use slangs and sub-altern language. [7] [8]
