==Work==
The subjects of his [[fiction]] are mostly families living in [[Calcutta]] city. Within the confines of these homes, he challenges the moral values of the fast-changing [[middle class]] of the city. Chattopadhyay frequently uses old men as his protagonists. These aged characters create the spiritual and philosophical edge found in his novels ''Lotakambal'' (The Vessel and Quilt) and ''Shakha Prasakha'' (Branches). Arguably the most famous of his creations is ''Lotakambal''. His most famous novella ''Swet Patharer Table'' (The Ivory Table) is an example of his characteristic style of story-telling which mixes tension, dilemma, curiosity, pity, humor, and satire. He has written fiction for children and continues to write for magazines and newspapers. Chattopdhyay's current writing is related to Ramkrishna Paramhansa Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda. Some of his major works apart from the above-mentioned are:

* ''Parampadokamale'' (At His Divine Feet)
* ''Cancer''
* ''Duti Chair'' (Two Chairs)
* ''Roshe Boshe''
* ''Rakish Maa Roshe Boshe''
* ''Besh Achhi Roshe Boshe''
* ''Tumi Aar Aami'' (You And I)
* ''Eke Eke'' (One By One)
* ''Kolkata Achhe Kolkatatei'' (Calcutta Is In Calcutta)
* ''Sheuli'' - A novel about a family consisting of grandfather, grandmother, father, mother and their son and daughter with many aspirations nestled inside satire.
* ''Mapa Hashi Chapa Kanna'' (a book on satire)
* ''Halka Hashi Chokher Jol'' (a book on satire) [Light Smile Tears]
* ''Ujan Beye Jai''
* ''Mojar Foara''
* ''Bhagabaner Kaane Dilen Bhagabaner Naam'' by Dey's Publishing

* ''BHOR HOLO'' by Patra Bharati
* ''Ka Tobo Kanta'' by Dey's Publishing
* ''Porokiya'' by Patra Bharati
* ''BRAMHADATYIR BACCHA'' by Patra Bharati

Apart from these, his notable juvenile literature includes the Ruku-Suku and Badomama-Mejomama series (recompiled & published as ''Mama Samagra'' by KGB Prakashani) which are fun-filled and analyse various philosophical aspects of life through the eyes of children.
