He is instantly recognised by those who live in and around the station-squatters, rickshaw-drivers, beggars. liquor vendors, ragpickers. pickpockets-as the daring young man who rescued them many a time. However, Jibon has become a stranger to himself. He is simply playing the role of Jibon. His past, allegiant to the Naxalites, is marked by bloodshed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe is in Calcutta of the mid-1970s, a time when the Stoneman prowls the streets after midnight, crushing the heads of homeless folk. This is the city where the rich refugees from East Pakistan have become even more affluent, and the poor ones way more deprived. Women are swindled and brutalised with alarming frequency here; orphans are kidnapped from public places. The influence of the ultra-reds has waned and the clout of the reds and the Congress party is on the rise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMasterfully translated by V.
