📖 About the Book
"Buddhan Chirikkunnilla" (The Buddha Does Not Smile) is a powerful fictional reimagining of Buddha’s return to modern India, written by Jose Pashukkaran and translated into Bengali by Rajibkumar Saha.
In this bold narrative, Siddhartha returns not to the serenity of ancient times, but to the chaos and caste conflicts of 20th-century Bihar—his historical land of enlightenment. This time, Buddha is not just a spiritual guide, but a warrior against injustice, facing the metaphorical and literal forces of darkness—"Mara"—and confronting the brutal caste hierarchy that continues to haunt the nation.
With deep philosophical undertones and strong Dalit identity politics, the novel explores themes of despair, identity, and spiritual resistance, where the Buddha contemplates the pain of being born as a Dalit and even wishes to be reborn as a cow for societal acceptance.
Gripping, introspective, and socially charged, this book is a startling meditation on modern India's failures through the lens of its most revered reformer.
