In the soul of Bengal lies a truth that has remained hidden for decades, buried beneath the dense veil of history—unheard, unseen, as if time itself had resolved to erase it. Raktabodh: The Saga of Bengal, born from Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri’s extensive research and dedication for his historical film The Bengal Files, weaves a poignant narrative. This book uncovers the Hindu massacres, betrayals, and the buried truths of history—the truths that shake the very past of Hindu civilization and infuse its destiny with renewed strength.
The book brings to light the harrowing realities—from the blood-soaked massacres of Direct Action Day to the forgotten bloodshed of Noakhali. It exposes the colonial machinations whose shadows still loom over the lanes of Bengal today. Efforts were made to suppress these truths in the pages of history, but this book gives them a rebirth—a story officially overlooked.
Through historical facts and eyewitness accounts, Agnihotri paints vivid scenes that touch the heart—a woman in Noakhali holding her dead husband’s bones amidst unbearable fear, questioning the world; Mother India, enduring in her frail body, with eternal spirit and eyes aflame with grief and rebellion. This book is not merely a collection of stories; it is a call from the very soul of India—a powerful appeal for truth and justice.
Following his acclaimed trilogy—The Tashkent Files and The Kashmir Files—this third work emerges as a fearless recounting of history. It not only uncovers India’s suppressed truths but also inspires readers toward introspection and diligence.
Raktabodh: The Saga of Bengal is not just the history of Bengal; it is a profound reflection on truth, struggle, and life itself. It urges us to remember a forgotten past, awaken dormant consciousness, and heal wounds. As one delves into its pages, the story grips the reader, leaving an indelible mark on both heart and mind.
