The story depicts Bengal, stable under the British rule, even though the people were divided in their faith and undecided in their loyalties. Hinduism, with its age old practice of worshipping many gods and goddesses and its stringent codes of caste distinction, had been challenged by the founders of Brahmoism, a religion committed to monotheism and formless worship. As the story unfolds, it brings out the impact of both religions on the principal characters.

Time flies, films fill the cans. Chaplin continues to remain a little man, a clown, bewildered by a world that has no place for him. He looks around and stands before the mirror. He confronts his double. The double stands for untold evil. He paces back and forth and comes to realise that the world is sliding into crisis. The history of the world takes a turn, hopes and beliefs are belied, everything is topsy-turvy. He stands between the two Great Wars, the First and the Second. He knows that he will no more be quite so nice, that the people who have liked him vaguely will have to make up their minds, as the author does in this slim yet irreplaceable book on the eternal tramp.

Buddhism enjoys a unique place in Asian history, among half of the world's population. No other movement, religion or event has equalled the degree to which Buddhism has affected nearly every corner of Asia. During its 2500-years history, the faith enjoyed widespread success but also suffered persecutions and competitions from Confucianism in East Asia, as well as gradual absorption due to the inexorable pressure of Hinduism in India. Buddhism's greatest success came during the first millennium AD, although it became thoroughly integrated into Japanese culture and continues to be the dominant faith in such areas as Burma, Sri Lanka and mainland South-East Asia. The book covers Buddhism in its myriad manifestations.

Though endowed with amazing of deduction and analytical intelligence, author's revered character of Byomkesh served as a common man's conscience. Embedded in he middle-class Indian social milieu of the 1930s, its appeal refuses to die down even in this age of forensic detection and DNA investigation. Decidedly a keen and intelligent mind at work promises much engaging histrionics.
