Tarashankar Bandopadhya is grouped with those writers of the third decades of the 20th centuries who broke the poetic tradition in novels but took to writing prose with the world around them adding romance to human relationship breaking the indifference of the so called conservative people of the society.

He preferred sensation to thought. He was ceaselessly productive and his novels are long, seemed unending and characters belonged to the various classes of people from Zaminder down to pauper.
