About the Book
Bangla Chhotogolpe Sompriti Sadhona (Ditiyo Khondo) is a comprehensive Bengali research work that explores the concept of harmony and coexistence as reflected in Bengali short stories, with a specific focus on West Bengal. This second volume expands the idea of “sompriti” beyond religious unity, presenting it as a multi-dimensional human process rooted in tolerance, acceptance, and collective integration.

The book examines a vast range of Bengali short stories from the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, offering both vertical and horizontal analytical readings. It highlights various forms of harmony—political, cultural, national, and international—while also bringing attention to class relations, personal and interpersonal dynamics, and even connections between humans and the non-human world.

Additionally, the work does not shy away from exploring the absence or fragility of harmony, presenting a balanced view of coexistence and conflict. Themes like love for nature, homeland, and identity further enrich the discussion, making the study diverse and layered.

Abdur Rahim Gazi presents a detailed and scholarly exploration that combines literary criticism with social philosophy. This book is an essential resource for readers, researchers, and students interested in Bengali literature, cultural studies, and the evolving concept of harmony in society.
