Prafulla Kumar Singha wrote the collection cook Mahakaler Ghora Vol—1
History is as much about the wars of monarchy, imperialism, rise and fall, architecture, love stories of kings and queens, and the surrender of warlords in the arms of a few baijis as the author is interested in; he is equally indifferent to the countless failed and deprived karma yogis and millions of oppressed humanities.
The industrial world of man and machinery, the rough and rugged backdrop of the diverse skills, knowledge, science and evolution of society, the master plan to present the historical context of the coal mine in eight to ten novels, originates from Mahakaler Ghora Vol—1.
At one time, Sailajananda Mukhopadhyay opened a new direction in Bengali literature by writing stories about coal mines. Much of it was about meeting people from distant relations. Much of it was about making up one’s mind. Yet, his attempt to fill the void in literature will be forever remembered in Bengali. Long ago, Emile Zola, later Steinbeck, etc. Some others wrote worthwhile novels about coal miners, but this vast region of Raniganj, Asansol area remained largely out of the sight of our writers. In the early thirties, the life of the textile mill workers was revealed in the autobiographical novel of Manoranjan Hazra.
After the Second World War, perhaps with some influence from Russian literature, some people became inclined towards writing about industrial cities. Amal Dasgupta wrote Kara-nagari about Chittaranjan in the style of reportage. Gourishankar Bhattacharya and Gunamoy Manna wrote holiday novels about the steel city respectively.
Mohanlal Gangopadhyay wrote “Chatabda” on the chattel industry. He was associated with this industry by work. However, only one person has created meaningful fiction about chattel workers and chattel areas. He is Samaresh Basu. And Gourkishore Ghosh has written a little about tea gardens. Yashodajiban Bhattacharya once wrote several stories about the Jharia area and won the hearts of the readers. Rabindra Guha has been writing about the iron and steel mining areas recently.
Apart from this, there are some other writings about industrial areas in Bengali literature. Even if there have been, I must have missed them. It has been seen since the time of Jola that writing about the primitive people is not easy. What is real should be presented frankly. Look at it carefully and in a dispassionate manner like a scientist.
In the context of seeing, the word camera also comes up. Will the writer see only through the eyes of the camera? Will he portray everything indiscriminately? Will everything that exists be of equal value?
Who is the real the photographer is not just a button-up doll. He has to engrave on God by connecting the eyes of the camera with the eyes of the mind.
To be honest, our senses are more or less like cameras. Only when the mind is connected can they make judgments. Otherwise, they will get confused in the forest of information. Even in that, one important thing remains.
In seeing or knowing, whether it is more or less, there will be a distance. If you are completely involved, your vision is blocked. Words and stories also have such boundaries.
Again, if you go beyond the range, seeing and knowing become blurred. That is why experience is so valued in literature. Especially, in literature of words. There is no end to telling in detail. Nothing in the world is an isolated unit. The roar of translating the particular into the general is needed.
The horse of the ages is running at a rapid pace. Its uninterrupted journey crosses the boundaries of country, time and vessel, across the ages. The horse’s razor How many birth and death records are there in the book? How many nations have risen and fallen? How many civilizations have been created and destroyed.
The original power of civilization today is the heat of coal – its sinfulness and the initiative of its work. That transitional period is crossed by a strong man. All sorrows and pride are trampled under the soles of his shining boots.
This stream of history has been able to weave various events and characters like invisible threads in this novel in the form of a garland, so “Mahakaler Ghora Vol-1” ties the heartstrings of the reader to the tune of time. History is captured before the eyes in the colors and flavors of human life.
The owner of the coal house, Baraklot, the barmaid Kaberi, the landowner Babu, and countless other kulikamins are folk figures. The author has not made anyone a molded doll. In the various colors of black and white mixed with good and bad, they are all living beings of flesh and blood People.
Any reader will be captivated by this novel because of the author’s mental vision.
