Urmal

Urmal Jharra is an indigenous story. It is a story of the sighs of the workers who have been forced to live in a state of love with the tea plant for generations. In particular, it is a story of the sighs of those earners, whose struggles are thousands. But there is not even a little peace in life. There are millions of dreams. But there is not even a little happiness. There are many characters in Urmal. And yes, their own stories and sufferings, which are woven into the novel in the same way that flower stalks are woven into a garland. There are also many stories within the stories of these characters, which are complete in themselves. Some of these stories are more than a decade old. Some are from the British era. Some are borrowed from folk tales. Through these stories, the author has told the unwritten history of the tea plantations and the exploitation that takes place there. This ambitious novel, which feels like a collage of stories, will surprise you with its depth, breadth, and poetic rhythm.
