That was Mr. P.K. Mukherjee's question in response to Joydhk's question on what should be the content of children's literature.
As Joydhak does not have enough vocabulary to give a conclusive definition of "Dark" in this context, we shall try to elucidate with an example:
Let us consider the recently published news of a sex maniac monster and his daughter in the dungeon for more than two decades. Its a truth. Its reality. Its dark. That is Joydhak's perception of "dark" so far as children's literature is concerned. That is what Joydhak denies to dish out to children.

Joydhak debate on content of children literature
Do you feel children's literature should include hints of the darker realities of the modern day? Do the adult writers have a right to spill their agonies on their young readers through their writings? Or shall we share only our brighter thoughts with children? Your Comments?

How Joydhak came to be
When the three friends were schoolkids, the famous Baantul the great of Shuktara magazine used to read a newspaper called doinik Joydhak. Once the three frinds had written a postcard to the Magazine office informing to the effect that they wanted to be members of this Joydhak newspaper that is always read by their hero Baantul. The Magazine authorities however did not respond. Possibly the letter never reached their office. But after a long wait of almost six months the kids were heartbroken at this non-response. Together they promisd to themselves tat they would create their own Joydhak when they grow up. It took 25 long years for them to fulfil that promise made to theselves. The children's magazin Joydhak started its Journey in hard copy from College street in 2000.
The web version began from 2008 March. The fifth issue has been recently uploaded at www.joydhak.com
