Banhibalika by Subhomanas Ghosh [Paperback]

We are living in a strange time. A time that is bizarre and impenetrable. Ugly politics, decaying administration, pervasive corruption, the rampant trade of misinformation disguised as education, a life devoid of ideals, and the impenetrable darkness of selfish interests are causing daily bloodshed. We are being wounded. Yet, no one knows anyone else. We don't understand each other. We don't even look at each other's faces. Against the backdrop of a brutal crime, a brave young man, alongside an indomitable young woman, sets out to find the hidden faces of the assassins. It is like an adventurous, daring expedition. At every step, conspiracies lie in wait. There is the terror of violence and horrific attacks. But it is through this death-laden path that the young man and woman gradually reach the ultimate goal of achievement. It is a sacred journey of transcending disbelief to belief. In the end, they are met with a remarkable discovery. Even in this filthy political corruption and the profoundly selfish, diseased environment, there are still honest people. There is still protest. There is an unrelenting fight to stand tall, gritting one's teeth. There is the rebirth of man through repentance. From the ashes of sorrow and grief, a new life emerges in colorful light. *Bohibalika* is an intensely emotional, fearless, and bold creation, deserving of a place in the eternal court of literature.
