তপন বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়ের সমগ্র শঙ্খচিল

The so-called "refugee" Shankha's family left their ancestral home in East Bengal during the Partition and settled in the border-adjacent village of Ishwaripur in North 24 Parganas. Thus began their struggle to rebuild their lives anew—a fight to find their roots. Shankha learns this struggle from observing his grandfather and, through various experiences while growing up, unknowingly becomes part of that fight himself.

Tapan Bandyopadhyay’s writings often highlight the stories of people who migrated from East Bengal to West Bengal. Beyond this, his work vividly portrays the impact of politics on the lives of Bengalis. Through Samagra Shankhachil, readers can trace the political backdrop of Bengal during that time and observe the shifts in its socio-political fabric.
