Abstract	The paper presents the critical examination of the social reality in fiction of Sadhan Chattopadhyay, but it is only restricted to the body of work that was published to date (2015). Chattopadhyay was a born in 1944, and trained as a physicist, an author of remarkable Bengali fiction, whose work is closely connected to the development of the social, economic and political life of Bengal. He is always recognized in public author profiles and later academic criticism as a significant novelist and short-story author, and by the middle of the 2010s, over six hundred stories and a considerable novelistic oeuvre already existed. What is so impressive about his fiction is that he uses it to turn literature into a manifesto, but it is not. In his novels including Agnidagdha, Gahin Gang, Dui Thikana, Pitribhumi, Paksha Bipaksha, Tentul Patar Jhal, Jaltimir, Matir Antena, Bindu Theke Britte, Panihata, Din Ane Din Khay, he explores the theme of displacement, livelihood crisis, party politics, decline of education, patriarchy, environmental devastation, and public-health calamity. This paper proposes that Chattopadhyay constructs social reality in two movements of close attention to material conditions and critical inquisition into the moral failures concealed within institutions, ideology, and development. His fiction is therefore one of the significant archives of the social life of Bengalis up to 2015.
