INTRODUCTION
Contemporary Bangla novels are one of the most important aspects of Bangla literature.
Their were some great Bangla contemporary novel writers in the past like Rabindranath Tagore, Sharatcandra Chaterjee in the past and Sunil Ganguly and Hyumayun Ahmed in the current era.
But except a very few notable writers, there can be seen a lack of creativity in the among the writers of the present Bangla literature.

Bangla contemporary novel writers have to add
various dimensions in their writing in order to gain
more acceptance among the readers of Bangla
literature.
Contemporary writers need to use more
metaphors among their writings and have to use
their writings carefully and subtly in order to keep
their readers interested. The writers have to
assume that the readers are intelligent. This way
they will be able to thrive.

Chaudhury, S.(n.d). Stated that The Bengali novel originated in the nineteenth century as a product of the
colonial encounter, though it drew upon a multiplicity of
literary traditions, indigenous as well as foreign.(p.6 ).
Though those are the criteria of the initial cotemporary novels of Bangla, it has evolved very much since then.

HYPOTHESIS
The contemporary Bangla literature have many important aspects. Once a lot of creativity were
shown by the Bangla novel writers. But now we can
see lot of clichs and predictability among the
writers.
From my research, I expect to find that the writers are not getting enough motivations for writing Bangla
literature.

I think new writers cannot be found in contemporary
Bangla literature due to the economic hardship the writers
have to bear and endure.
I also think that too much exposure to technology is killing
the appetite for literature in youth.
I also think that this situation can be changed with the
necessary steps from the people related with Bangla
literature.

From the previous slide it can be stated that significant part of the respondents think that contemporary Bangla novel writers are lacking in creativity. This statement is similar to my hypothesis.
From the results of my survey it can be stated that governments role is very important in order to overcome this crisis.
Government should hold seminars, competitions in writings and should provide scholarships in writings.
