About the Book

"The Secret Murder Witness of Siraj-ud-Daulah" is a non-canonical adaptation of one of the darkest episodes of love, war and betrayal from Indian history. It is a mix of fact and fiction. Murshidabad, which was once the capital of the richest province of Mughal India, lost its eminence when Bengal Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah was treacherously defeated at the Battle of Plassey. The loss led to 200 years of Company Rule in India and Calcutta became the new capital of British India. Apart from this, an array of other life-changing events also took place after Siraj's downfall which impacted the course of history for centuries as we all know. The fall of Siraj-ud-Daulah in the 1757 Battle of Plassey, the last independent Nawab of Bengal, was not the only event of significance. Important is what led to his defeat? Nimak Haram Deori is said to be haunted. What had it witnessed? Who stays there? Mir Jafar loved Siraj more than his son, then why did he revolt against Siraj? What if Siraj had won the Battle of Plassey in 1757? Who actually killed Siraj? What were Robert Clive's last words? Was there any eye-witness of Siraj's murder? If so, who? Who celebrated Siraj's demise by starting an extravagant Durga Puja? Was Mir Jafar the real traitor or someone else who remained in the dark forever? Lots of answers remain in grey even today, with very few validated documentation of the events by historians. Through this book, author has tried to join these dots through a fictional string. The bricks of Murshidabad still bear odour of the blood baths that had shaken the walls of destiny years ago. This book is just an effort to delve out its opulent splendour in a dramatic way. "The Secret Murder Witness of Siraj-ud-Daulah" by Reetwika Banerjee has been already adapted into a screenplay. It will soon be filmed for big screen feature.
