Shahid Bhupati Sen Colony by Pracheta Gupta [Hardcover]

"The Shaheed Bhupati Sen Colony was built through many struggles. At that time, the people were straightforward. Their virtues and vices were clearly defined, easily recognizable. As time went by, the Shaheed Bhupati Sen Colony became complex. Politics, greed, and selfishness infiltrated it. Today, the colony is a dazzling, modern, luxurious, and expensive place. Just as the displaced people once found land and built homes, some have had to move far away due to pressure from land mafias. Now, is it necessary to give up their very identity? Will the Shaheed Bhupati Colony change its name? Many people come and go around the colony. Some are imprisoned ‘revolutionaries’, some are shrewd political leaders, some are supporters of lost parties, some are ruthless land mafias, some are cunning brokers, some are intelligent students, and some are dream-loving lovers. Some are inside, and some are outside. In this taut narrative, there is a struggle for existence, dreams, love, selfishness, extreme cruelty, and revenge. Yet, in Pracheta Gupta’s novel Shaheed Bhupati Sen Colony, some people still hold their heads high. Some continue to love humanity."
