The tumultuous echoes of 1947’s Partition reverberated through every chapter of history I read—and every story I felt compelled to reimagine. It Was All Lies isn't just historical fiction—it’s a testament to the capacity of human resilience and the power of hidden truths rising to the surface.
Why “It Was All Lies”
The title reflects the fractures between truth and myth—nationalist tales versus ground realities, familial legends versus buried secrets. The Chowdhurys’ reunion wasn’t a neat ending. It was a reckoning.
What Readers Are Saying
“The heart‑wrenching story kept me locked in the entire time. … Without having any knowledge of the situation it was easy to follow and informative.”
“Unveiling truths… challenging accepted narratives of India’s Partition… indispensable and thought‑provoking.”
Writing with Humility, Aiming to Provoke Empathy
If you feel the Chowdhurys as more than historical footnotes—as family, neighbors, humanity incarnate—then they’ve done their work. And so have I.
What’s Next?
Another forgotten chapter of history calls to me. But before I begin, I want to hear from you. Share your stories. Review the book. Join me in remembering.
Thank you for reading—not just this post, but the novel itself.
