In a time when echoes of freedom have started reverberating through the streets of colonial India,The Zamindar, the Rebel and the Revolutionary unfolds as a saga of a Bengali Brahmin landlord family’s relentless pursuit of a sovereign India.In the 1880s, Keshav, the zamindar of Madaripur, near Dhaka, challenges oppressive societal normswhile wielding his printing press as a weapon to empower revolutionaries fighting for the nation.His son Mukund is determined to continue this legacy, but a treacherous marriage agreement forceshim into the role of ghar jamai, shackling his ambitions. Just as Mukund escapes his in-laws’ machinations, an attack on their estate threatens to obliterateeverything they cherish. Undeterred, Mukund revives Keshav’s printing business to rebuild theirlives and fuel the national cause. In the early 20th century, Mukund’s son Aneek joins Calcutta’s underground armed movement,taking up the mantle of resistance. Through this polyphonic narrative, Jyotiska Ganguly weaves together the lives of three generationsof a family, exploring the enduring forces of love, resilience and revolution against a backdrop ofviolence, betrayal, caste prejudice and the fervent struggle for India’s independence.
