He has authored several books in Bengali as well as English on a variety of topics—literary, political, historical, and cultural. However, he prefers to write in Bengali. The author had also participated in the independence struggle and was detained for a couple of years. Poddar has written critical assessments of Bankim Chandra Chatterjee (the pioneer 19th century novelist) and Rabindranath Tagore, in the backdrop of Indo-British politico-social relation; both of which were acclaimed and rewarded by Calcutta University as path-breaking works in the field of criticism. He was a visiting fellow at the Indian Institute of Advanced Studies, Shimla, where he contributed significantly to the study of the resurgence of Bengali literature and culture under the impact of western systems of thought and civilization. Poddar has been twice honoured by the prestigious literary institute, Bangiya Sahitya Parishad. Additionally, the Asiatic Society has awarded him a lectureship instituted in the memory of Vidyasagar (the great social reformer of the 19th century).
