BLACK ANTS AND WHITE PIGEONS

The wave of Islamic radicalization reaches Azad's family. As it tries to snatch away the happiness of the family and destroy everything good in his surroundings, Azad struggles to hold that back. He fights. What he has to fight against is not only the real enemy - the doctrine - but also his imagination.This epic tale is based loosely on the effect of Islamic radicalization on individual and family level. It also tries to tell how Bangladesh, a secular country during its birth, has turned gradually into a country of persistent minority oppressions and eventually a death-valley to the secularists.Black Ants and White Pigeons starts its journey in 1991 with a few historical flashbacks from the past and ends in July 2016, just after the Gulshan Massacre / Gulshan Terrorist Attack, Dhaka, the deadliest of this kind in the history of Bangladesh. Though it's a fiction, for the sake of the story, many real events and characters have either been mentioned or fictionized in this novel.
