Book Summary
About the Book When Rajshahi is divided by the newly drawn border of 1947, Arun Senguptas family leaves behind their home carrying little more than a few treasured books, a fistful of earth, and an unshakable belief that knowledge can survive even the greatest loss. Beginning again in Kolkata, Arun dedicates himself to a simple but radical idea: education should belong to everyone. As refugees rebuild their lives, he creates classrooms wherever he can and develops a way of teaching that blends respect for tradition with the practical demands of survival. His son grows up among broken radios and discarded projectors, transforming that inheritance into a new language of learning. His granddaughter carries the legacy even further, taking Aruns quiet vision beyond anything he could have imagined. Spanning seventy-five yearsfrom the aftermath of Partition to modern India What Rivers Carry is an evocative literary novel about family, resilience, education, memory, and the invisible legacies that connect generations. About the AuthorArindam Lahiri draws inspiration from lived experience, disciplined reflection, and a lifelong curiosity about the choices that shape human lives. Having held leadership roles in Indias automotive and skilling sectors, he has spent much of his career working at the intersection of education, industry, and social transformation. His transition to fiction reflects a deep interest in identity, memory, belonging, and the ways values are passed from one generation to the next. Through emotionally layered storytelling, Arindam explores the tensions between tradition and change, duty and desire, and the enduring impact of education on individual and collective lives. What Rivers Carry is his debut novel.
