About the Book
In the aftermath of post-Left globalization and the assertive resurgence of right-wing cultural politics, the Bengali bhadralok finds itself compelled to renegotiate and refashion its identity. Through sharp, unsparing satire, Ashish Lahiri dissects the ethos of post-Independence Bengali middle-class culture.

This enlarged second edition presents a series of candid and provocative essays that challenge nostalgia, question inherited myths, and examine contradictions within cultural self-perception. With wit and analytical clarity, the book exposes the tensions between tradition and modernity, progress and regression, memory and reinvention.

Compact yet incisive, this paperback offers a bold cultural critique for readers interested in contemporary Bengali society and intellectual debate.
