Synopsis:

• Khanchar Bhetar Achin Pakhi is set in the 19th century, a time of great transformation in India. The practice of Sati has been abolished, the echoes of the Sepoy Mutiny are fading, and British influence is deeply shaping society.
• The story revolves around Raja Pratapchandra, whose fatal mistake drenches his kingdom in blood.
• Meanwhile, trains are rushing across the country, the Indigo Rebellion is losing momentum, and the younger generation is embracing English language and culture.
• Amidst these changes, the chilling mystery of the Banikpur Witch unfolds. When the British-educated minister Ramnarayan narrates the incident to Raja Pratapchandra, the king senses a sinister conspiracy—one that ties into global economics.
• Can the so-called witch be saved? Or will Pratap himself be swallowed by the dark secrets lurking beneath history?
• This novel uncovers the hidden pages of history, blending mystery, politics, and suspense into a gripping narrative.
