A deep look into history to examine entrepreneurship without freedom
AJARAM DEB HAS always been in search of an immense carnival. For the central character of Bengali writer Sayam Bandyopadhyay's novel, Carnival, it means even a flicker of light to escape from the darkness of his existence. The novel, originally published in Bengali as Puranpurush, evokes the inner elements of both a country and a citizen to search for freedom from their dark lives and secrets.
This story is from the May 11, 2025 edition of Financial Express Kolkata.
