Pather Dabi, The Right of Way

Pather Dabi causes an enormous furore following its serialization in the Bengali monthly, Bangabani. Later published as a book, 5000 copies of the novel sold out within a week of its publication. The story of Sabyasachi, the charismatic leader of the military organization called Pather Dabi and the powerful women in his life, is one of agony and ecstasy and continues to stir the public imagination.
