In a time when humanity’s disconnection from nature has reached alarming levels, Sisir Bhattacharjee’s powerful new novel DR. MUNDA emerges as a heartfelt reminder of our bond with the earth and all its creatures. Poignant, emotionally rich, and socially charged, this story goes beyond fiction—it is a voice for the voiceless, both human and animal, and a call to action for environmental and social responsibility.
DR. MUNDA is the journey of an abandoned infant who is not only left without a family but also without a name, identity, or place in society. But fate writes his story differently. Rescued and nurtured by a street dog, this child grows up in close communion with nature and animals, forging an unshakable relationship with the wild world around him. Named Munda, a name often dismissed in society, he reclaims it with pride, transforming it into a title of honor as he earns the designation “Dr. Munda.”
The narrative beautifully weaves together themes of resilience, compassion, abandonment, social injustice, and the urgent need to protect our environment. Munda’s rise from the gutters of society to a respected figure is not just a personal triumph—it is symbolic of the strength that lies within those who are overlooked, ignored, or discarded. His journey stands as a metaphor for all creatures, human or otherwise, that fight for survival in an indifferent world.
Sisir Bhattacharjee’s storytelling is deeply rooted in empathy. His prose is simple yet moving, making the reader pause and reflect. Every chapter in DR. MUNDA unfolds with a sense of purpose, drawing us closer to the soulful bond between Munda and nature. The book also acts as a mirror to our society—harshly exposing our tendencies to abandon, destroy, and forget, yet leaving space for redemption, healing, and hope.
The subtitle “Save Nature, Save Creatures” perfectly encapsulates the essence of the book. Through Munda’s connection with the natural world, the author raises important questions: What does it mean to truly coexist? What responsibilities do we have toward those who cannot speak for themselves? And how can one abandoned child grow into a symbol of unity, healing, and change?
Behind this impactful narrative is an equally fascinating creator. Sisir Bhattacharjee, an engineering graduate by education, has been writing since the age of fourteen. A member of the Director Association of East India in Tollygunge, Kolkata, he blends literary craft with cinematic vision. His previous books “NUMBER” (an Amazon bestseller) and “A Haughty Girl” have already established him as a voice of emotion, depth, and transformation. His acclaimed short stories—Love Letter, Love Never Dies, Paper Boy, Two Slices of Life—have touched hearts across generations.
With DR. MUNDA, Sisir Bhattacharjee presents his most moving and socially relevant work yet. The book is more than just a story—it is a journey into the soul of humanity and a plea to reconnect with the earth. It will move readers, inspire thought, and awaken a collective conscience that the world so desperately needs today.
DR. MUNDA is not just a literary achievement; it is a message wrapped in emotion, reminding us that even in the face of abandonment and cruelty, nature never gives up on its children—and neither should we.
