Hudson Ganga Merger 2: Union of America's Hudson River with India's Ganga (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798992080032)

This is a fictionalized non-fiction of a family who initially grew up near Ganga River of Indian Subcontinent, then moving near Hudson River in New York, merging two cultures. This book writing started over a decade ago. The first part was with son Shuvo sharing his experience as a young man how his life was altered by someone transmitting a virus to an energetic valedictorian, with 100% school and college attendance, hurting an innocent life.

Only after Corona virus appeared in 2020 some became aware of transmission of deadly virus and its effects. Shuvo and dad Sachi both volunteer for non-profits Probini Foundation helping the poor and the orphaned, and for Indian Subcontinent Partition Documentation Project (ISPaD), both of New York. Those helped learning a lot from firsthand experience, and in visiting diverse corners of the world. Travel to countries and territories have helped us to understand the world, its warmth and friendliness, but also contradictions, double standards, hypocrisy, persecution, prejudicial writings, and dishonest presentations by Western and Eastern media, where our lives didn't matter.

Extremely important experience began when the family visited Sachi's ancestral home of 500 years, from where their family was driven out after an anti-indigenous-Hindu pogrom in East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, after 1947 partition of India. Since 1982 we visited our ancestral village regularly, which exposed hypocrisy of the Left and Right, ignoring our lives. Our experience became a human rights story as well.
