Unfettered is the first English translation of Kazi Nazrul Islam’s remarkable epistolary novel Bandhon Hara. Through Nurul Huda, a Bengali soldier in the British Indian army, the novel describes the life of an Indian soldier posted at Karachi during the World War I. A series of letters from his friends, to him and to each other, unfold a story of unhappy love. Torn between two women and unwilling to give up his freedom for love, Nurul escapes by enlisting in the army. What is perhaps most remarkable about the novel is the writer’s sensitive portrayal of women through their letters.
