This story is about the decline of Bengal, once the epicenter of prosperity in India. It is about the invaders, and how they captured the most fertile land of the country, and converted the population into Islam, only to be amputated out of the country as East Pakistan. It is about the pride of first Renaissance that the country witnessed, producing social reformers, literary giants, scientists, and religious leaders, who carried the message of Hinduism to the world.
The story is about how after reaching the pinnacle, the state is now equated with states like UP and Bihar for supplying cheap labor to the major Indian cities. And all this, in a storytelling manner.
The story analyzes the problems of the parasitic infiltrators, political highhandedness, corruption, intimidation, and the solutions that can drag the state out of the drudgeries

This book is the consequence of his yearning for his native state of Bengal, which he was compelled to leave owing to the lack of opportunity it offered at the peak of his career. He wanted to understand the chronology that led to the decline of the state, and hence the book. This book showcases how fractured governance can push a state and its people to misery.
