Borgi Elo Deshe

Borgi Elo Deshe is a compelling collection of seven historical stories that brings 18th-century Bengal vividly to life—an era of upheaval, transition, and unforgettable change.

Set in Subah Bangla (Mughal Bengal), the narratives span 1704 to 1784, tracing the shifting world from Murshid Quli Khan’s time through the rise of the Nawabi era and into the growing dominance of the East India Company, culminating around the period of Warren Hastings.

Through sharply drawn episodes and richly textured settings, Santanu Basu captures the political tension, social transformation, and economic realities of a Bengal caught between tradition and colonial power. Each story offers a distinct slice of history—together forming a wider portrait of a land reshaped by conflict, ambition, and survival.

Perfect for readers who enjoy Bengali historical fiction, Indian history stories, Nawabi Bengal, colonial-era narratives, and 18th-century Bengal history, Borgi Elo Deshe is both immersive and illuminating—history told through human lives.
