The Cries of Liberation

Literature is the mirror of the society. If it is that, “The Cries of Liberation” is its unquestionable pattern. In this novel, a vivid picture of recent social life, politics, economy, religion etc. has finely been depicted centering on a Brahmin family. This touching novel deals with some burning problems of the society where corruption is rampant, where politics is controlled by hooliganism, where economy is an instrument of exploitation, where religion is the cradle of communalism. Tathagata Roy dreamt of liberting the country from the crisis. He wanted to create a storm of peace by removing the poison of the rotten society. He risked his life to make his dream come true. Did the golden dream of building a strong society of impeccable idealistic Tathagata come true in today’s extreme darkness? Was Mahua’s motherhood able to conquer communalism? Were the principles, ideals, values established in the society against corruption, maladministration and injustices? To get clear answers to such questions, you must read the author’s outstanding novel “The Cries of Liberation.”
