Appearance of Sidhujatha Character in Satyajit Ray's Detective Stories: An Appraisal/ সত্যজিৎ রায়ের গোয়েন্দা কাহিনিতে সিধুজ্যাঠা চরিত্রটির উপস্থিতি : একটি মূল্যায়ন

Abstract

Satyajit's literary work is covered by Feluda stories. Satyajit started writing Feluda's stories keeping in mind the juvenile literature lovers, but later it was found that Feluda's readers are not only teenagers, but also adult readers find elements of joy in them. In the thirty-five stories of Feluda series, we meet various characters, but among them, except Feluda, the main characters are, Feluda's assistant cousin brother Topse, Lalmohan Ganguly Mashai and Sidhu Jatha (of Feluda and Topse). We will look at how much the character needs in the story. And at the same time, we will see how deep Feluda's relationship with this inanimate soul is. This person is like a portable encyclopaedia.  This old man's extraordinary memory, huge library and generous heart had helped in various ways in the investigations of Feluda. Singleness, apparent anti-social this person only addiction is to reading books, his married life with books. The only purpose of his life is to pursue knowledge. We see all these visions in Satyajit's character; therefore, we have tried to show that Sidhujatha is Satyajit's self-projection to some extent in our overall discussion.
