About the Book
Gantabya Ekhono Ek Sabhyata Deri is a powerful and socially relevant Bengali novel that addresses the disturbing reality of “manufactured orphans” for the first time in Bengali literature. The story exposes the dark underbelly of illegal inter-country adoption, where underprivileged children from third-world countries like India are trafficked and sold to foreign childless couples in exchange for large sums of money, often with the involvement of reputed institutions and adoption agencies.

Set against the evocative backdrop of Goa, the novel draws a chilling parallel between the historical horrors of the Goan Inquisition—where thousands of innocent lives were destroyed centuries ago—and the modern-day crimes rooted in religious extremism, intolerance, and organized exploitation. As part of Debarati Mukhopadhyay’s acclaimed Rudra Priyam series, the narrative blends science, history, and deep human sensitivity on a vast canvas.

Through its intense storytelling and thought-provoking themes, the book questions the idea of civilization itself, showing how violence and narrow-minded beliefs continue to create uninhabitable worlds across eras. This hardcover edition is a compelling read for those interested in socially conscious fiction, investigative narratives, and contemporary Bengali literature with strong ethical and historical dimensions.
