1. गोरा
Set in late 19th-century Bengal, the novel follows a passionate, uncompromising young man whose fierce commitment to religious orthodoxy and nationalist selfhood brings him into repeated conflict with friends, reformers and lovers; through lively debates, personal rivalries and a tense love triangle, the narrative probes questions of faith, caste, social reform and identity, and traces the protagonist’s journey from rigid certainties toward a more inclusive, humane understanding of community and belonging.
