Fictional depiction mixed with history can confuse people who are not experts on history or have not had the chance & time to study a lot of relevant historical materials. This is so well written that it easy to forget the boundary between history and fiction. As a story, considering the time period, the style of prose holds up ok.

I do not know if it is a tradition on this subcontinent or if it was omitted by the publisher, but a list of references and some hints regarding which parts are actual history could have been included. Lack of this has resulted in confusion to some people (speaking from anecdotal experience).

A very well written book, one of the first Muslim novel in the subcontinent in Bengali. Although it is not entirely historically accurate, the author used his creativity and imagination to bring to us one of the most tragic sacrifices in human history!

এক কথায় সুখপাঠ্য। আমাদেরও যে এমন শতবর্ষী কালজয়ী বই আছে তা আগে জানতাম না। যদিও গল্পের কিছু অংশ তৎকালীন শোনা কথার উপর তৈরী হয়েছে মনে হলো তবুও সবারই একবার পড়া উচিত। আর হ্যাঁ, পারলে এই বইয়ের ইতিহাসও জেনে নেওয়া উচিত, এই বইয়ের ইতিহাসও কিন্তু কম রোমাঞ্চকর নয়। ;)

I think the name of the book I read in childhood was "Chotoder Bishad Sindhu". I couldn't find that book so I put this one on my shelf. As I have already mentioned, I read this book a long ago. Naturally, I forgot most of it but I still remember the deep impression it left on my mind.

It is one of the religious story of Islam. And the writer wrote it very well.

Hard language. Poor Storyline. History made up.
