Dhulomatir Shur by Debojyoti Bhattacharya [Hardcover]

"The theories and diversity of Bengali folk songs, along with their extraordinary charm, have been the subject of numerous stories, novels, and essays. However, there is a noticeable lack of detailed exploration regarding their interaction with mainstream modern society and the various outcomes thereof. It is essential to evaluate how this cultural stream is influenced, changed, and sometimes lost through the impacts and counter-impacts of mainstream culture, economy, and lifestyle. This evaluation is necessary to preserve this culture properly. This book, which compiles a novella and four stories, sheds light on that less-explored area of this cultural stream. The author's role here is primarily to highlight, not to engage in erudite discussion. As a result, some heart-touching stories have emerged, with many hues of tragedy running through their main themes."
