In Sun and Shower
By: H.A.Barari
Published by: Gyan Books Pvt. Ltd.
Delhi, India A
pot-pourri of the author's distant memories, this book focuses
on his early life at his native place Vikrampur in pre-partition
East Bengal, now Bangladesh. The author showcases the pristine
glory of vikrampur, which in more recent times has been the
home of many illustrious sons of Bengal. Besides being a deep
study of the history and the cultural and spiritual traditions
of that place, the book also highlights some of the less known
facets of the local socio-cultural scene to make sure that these
do not get obliterated for ever from our collective memory.
The authors disagreement with some of the points made in the
nobal laureate Amartya Sen analysis of the Bengal Famine (1943)
should attract notice in academic circles.
