Gantabya Ekhono Ek Sabhyata Deri by Debarati Mukhopadhyay [Hardcover]

"Manufactured Orphan" is the first novel in Bengali to address the issue of 'created orphans.' It explores how destitute children from third-world countries like India are trafficked and sold to childless couples abroad by orphanages and adoption agencies in exchange for hefty sums. This illegal inter-country adoption has implicated some prominent service organizations in the country.

Set against the backdrop of Goa, the new novel in Debarati Mukhopadhyay's Rudra Priyam series, titled "Destination: A Civilization Yet to Come," delves into Goa's history, where thousands of innocent people were burned during the Inquisition five hundred years ago. What is the connection between the Inquisition and present-day Goa? When religious narrow-mindedness intertwines with violence, it gives birth to a world unfit for living. Destruction unfolds incessantly. This novel presents a vast canvas that intertwines science, history, and sensitivity.
