Krishnasindhuki | An Unputdownable Historical Fiction By Bestselling Bengali Author Debarati Mukhopadhyay
Set amidst the infamous penal colony of the Andaman Islands, 'Krishnasindhuki' emerges as a mesmerizing work of historical fiction crafted by the acclaimed Bengali novelist Debarati Mukhopadhyay. This gripping tale intricately intertwines the heartrending narratives of female inmates exiled to these distant shores with the fervent struggles of the independence movement that swept through early 20th century undivided Bengal. The plot delves into the contentious practice of the British regime that employed women prisoners as companions for their male counterparts, all in a bid to establish settlements on the islands. Within the confines of the infamous cellular jail, themes of revolution, betrayal, passion, deceit, and revenge unfold, spotlighting a band of fearless Bengalis alongside marginalized female captives. From its inception to the conclusion, this sweeping narrative captures a stirring and genuine odyssey of humanity along the hauntingly termed 'Kala Pani' (Black Waters), inviting readers on a captivating exploration of a largely overlooked slice of history.
