About the Book

Jatayu Puran (Bengali Version) is a powerful biographical fiction based on the extraordinary life of Santos Dutta, a remarkable personality who excelled simultaneously as an exceptional actor and a successful criminal lawyer. Balancing two intensely demanding professions—dominating the theatre stage, the courtroom, and even the silver screen—required not only immense talent but also deep dedication, honesty, relentless hard work, and a profoundly generous spirit. Santos Dutta embodied all these traits with ease.

This book is not a conventional biography; it is a life-inspired novel that blends reality with literary narration. Each page highlights both his artistic brilliance and his legal mastery. The story brings to life several iconic cases he fought with extraordinary skill, such as:

• The Nepal Ray murder case (Congress leader)

• The Hemanta Basu murder case (Forward Bloc leader)

• The Girish Park police murder case

• The Debjani Banik murder case

Through rich storytelling and detailed character exploration, the novel seeks to understand who the real man behind the celebrated “Jatayu” persona truly was. It uncovers his emotional world, his sharp intellect, his sense of justice, and the unique duality of his life in theatre and law.

Jatayu Puran is an absorbing read for admirers of Bengali literature, lovers of biographical fiction, and anyone fascinated by complex, multi-dimensional personalities who leave a lasting mark on culture and society.
