Summary:

"This book explores some popular Bangla detective texts to perceive if there are any hegemonic influences of the Holmesian canon-if not, how identity and existence against imperialism have been established is perused. The significance of Indian texts through the leitmotif of indigeneity is foregrounded. Bengaliness resists Anglo/Eurocentrism"-- Provided by publisher.
