About the Book

Born of the Soil: A Tale of Family, Tradition, and Betrayal


Matira Manisha (The Man of the Soil) is a timeless story of love, conflict, and resilience set in the heart of rural Odisha. The novel follows Baraju Padhan, a man deeply rooted in his family's traditions and the ideals of joint family existence, as he struggles to hold his home together. But his younger brother, Chhakadi, driven by greed and the influence of his wife Netramani, seeks to divide the family, threatening the very values that bind them to their land.


With its stark realism and deep humanism, this novel beautifully captures the rhythms of rural life, the weight of tradition, and the forces that pull families apart. Written in a language that echoes the raw and authentic idiom of the Odia people, it is a literary gem that has stood the test of time.


"The soil gives, the soil takes—what remains is the strength to endure."


A beloved classic in Odia literature, Matira Manisha was adapted into an award-winning film by Mrinal Sen, further cementing its place in India's cultural heritage.
