Movement, Boycott Movement and First World War. He witnessed the critical days
after the Great War when the world was facing economic depression. As the
capitalists continuously exploited the innocent villagers, the people of
Bengali middle class became the pray of this misdeed. Similarly, the British
domination was also increasing day by day. This created atrocities in the minds
of the people of Bengali middle class. So, the main topics of the writings of
Manik Bandyopadhyay included the conditions of middle-class people, movements
of labour class etc. Interesting was that, Manik Bandyopadhyay’s writings
reflected his inclination towards Marxism. The novels of Manik Bandyopadhyay

Sath Ser Chal etc. are considered important and valuable creations of this
