 ===Historical Fiction===
+'Among contemporary writers of Bengali – nobody could write a historical fiction quite like him. Who can create that atmosphere, who else has the wit and humour…his prose had a different taste altogether – I am rather fond of it....’ that’s what [[Sunil Gangopadhyay]] said about Saradindu Bandopadhyay regarding his historical novels and stories.  Set in different periods of Indian history, right from the Pre-Aryan days to the [[Gupta Empire|Gupta]], [[Maurya Empire|Mauryan]] era till the age of the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]] – they are a unique blend of scintillating twists and turns, of romance, adventure and revenge, characters brought to life by a unique idiom and vocabulary to suit the ethos of that bygone era.
