Sulekha Pens and Ink from Jadavpur
Many of us grew up seeing our grandfathers fill their fountain pens with Sulekha ink. Turns out, their products are still available in Jadavpur, tucked inside a local watch repair shop with a dedicated Sulekha corner!
Born in 1934 during the Swadeshi movement, it’s amazing to see a brand named by Tagore, inspired by Gandhi, and used by Satyajit Ray still crafting these beauties.
If you want any Sulekha fountain pens or ink bottles, let us know. We can source them directly for you!
