Danga Deshbhag Ebong Taarpar by Prafulla Roy [Hardcover]

"In August 1946, the Muslim League initiated direct action based on the two-nation theory, demanding the creation of Pakistan. This led to riots in Kolkata, which later spread across the Indian subcontinent. A profound darkness descended upon the nation. A year later, on the same date, while the country did gain independence, it also faced partition, leading to the creation of a new state, Pakistan. Prafulla Roy was a witness to this critical era. The short and long stories, along with a novel in Danga Deshbhag Ebong Tarpor (Riots, Partition, and Afterward), are not just narratives but an extraordinary chronicle of the social, political, economic, and state life of the past seventy years."
This seems to be a powerful work chronicling a tumultuous period in history, blending personal and historical perspectives.
