About the Book
Mithya Satya is the Bengali translation of Yashpal’s acclaimed Hindi novel Jhuta Sach, translated by Kalipada Das. The novel delves into the story of how British imperialists tortured India and ultimately departed from the country. Yashpal constructs the plot using his personal experiences, newspaper reports, and various other sources, creating a powerful narrative of India’s colonial struggle. When asked about the purpose behind writing this novel, Yashpal explained that he aimed to explore the significance of achieving independence after such a prolonged and difficult struggle. Though the goal was not fully achieved, Yashpal believed that there was still much to be proud of. The novel became widely popular and was translated into several Indian languages, cementing its place in Indian literature.
