About this ebook

The novel Lagaan aims to highlight the regional language spoken in Itkhori, Chouparan, and Mayurhand Blocks of Jharkhand while addressing the issue of extreme casteism before and after India’s independence. The story centers around Rana Baba, a landlord who gains power and popularity, offering some relief to the oppressed, but causing internal conflict among the feudal lords. Amid the intensity of Gandhiji’s National Freedom Movement, Rana Baba faces conspiracies from fellow landlords, leading him to adopt a new identity. Lana, a bonded laborer, takes on the role of a freedom fighter in Rana Baba's place. The novel explores the exploitation of the poor by landlords and mahajans, fueling ongoing social unrest. The final message of Rana Baba stands as a testament to the struggles faced by the oppressed. Gratitude is extended to Blue Rose Publisher for their support and valuable suggestions in the publication of this work.

About the author

I was born on February 4, 1961, in Sadafer Village, Mayurhand Police Station, Chatra District, Jharkhand. I received my early education up to the fifth grade from a private teacher in the village, then moved to Government Middle School, Pandey Bara. Later, I joined S.S.K.B. High School in Chouparan. My academic journey took a significant turn when I enrolled in J.J. College, where the inspiring lectures fueled my desire to set clear life goals. I further pursued my education at the P.G. Centre, St. Columba's College, Hazaribag, under Ranchi University. I am grateful to Sr. R. S. Rana, Retired Assistant Commissioner of Commercial Taxes, Jharkhand Government, and Dr. Sajal Mukherjee, Retired Head of Economics Department at Vinoba Bhave University, Hazaribag, for teaching me Mathematical Economics and Econometrics. I began teaching economics at degree colleges with passion, later working as a counselor for IGNOU and mentoring students in project work. I have been serving at Jhumri Telaiya Commerce College for over 35 years.
