Titumir: The Bamboo Fortress
Forthcoming
A Novel of Resistance in Bengal
The Unwritten Resistance, Book 2
Titumir's bamboo fortress belongs to the resistance histories colonial archives recorded unevenly and national narrative often sidelined. Titumir: The Bamboo Fortress, forthcoming as Book 2 of The Unwritten Resistance, follows peasant suffering, religious reform and political defiance as they converge in Bengal's confrontation with Company power.
Before the cannon reached the bamboo fortress, Bengal’s peasants had already learned what imperial power costs. Titumir: The Bamboo Fortress, forthcoming as Book 2 of The Unwritten Resistance, follows a historical novel of suffering, religious reform and defiance against Company rule.
The series recovers resistance narratives marginalised in conventional national history. Where Ka Phan Nonglait turned water and memory into strategy in the Khasi hills, this work turns to Bengal—to peasant life, faith, political betrayal and the fortress that briefly defied artillery.
Historical imagination here serves remembrance without pretending to be archive. The novel will examine how communities endure when power is asymmetric and official history prefers silence.
This title is forthcoming. Updates will appear here when publication is announced. Readers can begin with Ka Phan Nonglait, Book 1 of The Unwritten Resistance, while this work develops.
Nanda Kishore Banda Author, enterprise strategist and founder of Intellectra Labs—writing on business, AI, Vedanta, Indian philosophy, history, society and cinema with clarity without simplification.
