In post-Rabindranath and Sarat Chandra Bengali literature, following Bibhutibhushan and Tarashankar, few authors have achieved literary distinction as successfully as Pramathanath Bishi. It would not be an overstatement to call him one of the finest novelists of this era. The thematic diversity of his novels is remarkable. The third volume of his Collected Novels includes Sindhunoder Prahari, Lal Kella, and Shahi Shiroppa.

Sindhunoder Prahari presents a historical vision of the future through the lens of Ujjayini during the time of Kalidasa. Lal Kella takes readers to India during the Sepoy Mutiny, set against the backdrop of Delhi. The story of Shahi Shiroppa revolves around the Raja-Bahadur of Taherganj, his minister, and his adopted son. The titular Shahi Shiroppa—a pearl necklace gifted by Emperor Jahangir—goes missing, creating the intrigue and suspense of a mystery novel.
