Banglar Dakat Vol-2: A Blend of History and Adventure.
In the history of Bengali literature, Jogendra Nath Gupta is a name that stands out for his ability to weave together historical truth with imaginative storytelling. His writings are not only rich in factual accuracy but also filled with literary charm. At the request of his readers, he published the famous book “Banglar Dakat – Dwitiya Khanda” (The Dacoits of Bengal – Second Volume), which focuses on the dark yet fascinating world of banditry in Bengal—an exciting fusion of fact and fiction.
Background of Publication
Before this book came out, a series of dacoit stories had been published in the magazine Shishu-Sathi for several months. When, for some reason, publication was halted for a month, readers became restless. The editor himself urged the author to continue writing. From this extraordinary reader demand was born the second volume of Banglar Dakat. According to the author, young and adolescent readers have always shown a special fascination for thrilling tales of dacoits.
A Combination of History and Documentation
Jogendra Nath Gupta was not merely a storyteller—he was also a meticulous researcher. The stories in this collection are not products of pure imagination. They are based on authentic historical evidence, government archives, district magistrate and collector reports, and accounts from police officers and officials. Therefore, this book stands not only as a piece of literature but also as a valuable historical record of Bengal’s past.

The collection includes thrilling tales such as Birangana Dayamoyee, Gopi Dakater Kahini (Gopi Dakat’s Story),Dakater Khal (The Dacoit’s Canal), Atithir Hate Pranraksha (Life Saved by a Guest), Monohar Dakat, Rai Bahadur Bhaluk, Dakat Gangaram, Hanuman Chaube, Dakater Dabakhela (The Dacoit’s Chess Game), Jalsorar Dakati (The Dacoity of Jalsora), Sapure O Dakat Dal (The Snake Charmer and the Bandits), Fakir Ramdulal O Dakat Dal (Fakir Ramdulal and His Gang), Dulal Dada, Dakat O Kukur (The Dacoit and the Dog), Orgayer Dangar Pothe Channar Math (The Field of Channar in Orgao), Dakate Dakate Lorai (A Fight Among Dacoits), and Dakat O Noukadubi (The Dacoit and the Boatwreck). Each story is distinct in atmosphere and full of suspense and excitement.
A Glimpse into The Field of Channar in Orgao
Set in the village of Orgao in Burdwan district, this story vividly portrays rural Bengal’s desolate landscape. About one and a half krosh west of Guskara station lies this lonely village, bordered by a vast dry plain—where people fear to tread even in daylight. For within that barren field lurk bands of dacoits, who plunder and kill without hesitation, driven even by petty greed. Amid rows of palm groves, ponds, and clumps of date and mango trees, they lie hidden—ready to strike at any traveler. The description is so vivid that the reader feels the tension and fear with every step.
The Harmony of Adventure and Reality
These stories are not merely about violence or crime; they explore the psychology of courage, treachery, and survival. Each character comes alive under the author’s deft narration. For young readers, these are tales of daring adventure; for mature readers, they are realistic portraits of Bengal’s social and historical fabric.
