Overview

Thunderbolt of Bengal: The Saga of Titumir is a powerful historical novel about faith, defiance, and the courage to stand upright in a world built on submission. Set in early nineteenth-century Bengal, the story follows Mir Nisar Ali-known as Titumir-who rose against British colonial rule and feudal oppression not with armies or wealth, but with moral resolve and a community of the dispossessed. Dismissed by empire as a rebel and crushed by cannon fire, Titumir became something far more enduring: a symbol of dignity forged through resistance. Blending history with imagined inner lives, the novel moves beyond official records to capture the silences history forgets-the doubts behind bravery, the faith that becomes action, and the ordinary people who crossed the line from endurance to revolt. At its heart stands the Bamboo Fort, a fragile yet radical declaration of unity built by those with nothing left to lose. The fort fell. The rebellion was defeated. What it represented did not. Urgent, lyrical, and deeply human, Thunderbolt of Bengal speaks to every time and place where injustice wears the mask of law-and where choosing self-respect carries the highest cost.
