In the modern vista of Bengali Literature, Dibyendu Palit pioneers an indelible mark for his literary proficiency, orchestration of languages, during jugglery of words, and brilliant portrayal of contemporary socio-political issues. Wedded with identity crisis, the problematic of uprooting and the issue of resettlement nostalgia gets a nuanced treatment in the story “Alam’s Own House”. The story seeks to illustrate the impossibility of re-conciliation between the displaced subject and the lost homeland and the consequent persistence of mourning in the displaced consciousness. The story through a critical analysis of Alam’s relationship with Raka attempts to explore the dynamics of human relationship in a political world, where the macro cosmic paradigm of the political latency infiltrates into the microcosmic filial and fraternal bonding. Their relationship evolves against the greater political reality of partition and its consequent evolution of homogeneous communities founded on religious similarities. As soon as Alam returns to Anantashekhar’s house, he, the displaced subject realizes the impossibility of reconciling in that interstice called house, which he has so long conjectured to be occupying a paradigm beyond the ‘us’ and ‘them’, free from the principles of a community constructed on the polities of inclusion and exclusion. His return perpetuates a dystopia in the consciousness of Alam, for he experiences the change, not just in the realm of the visible socio-empirical but also in the intimate personal.
