ABSTRACT | ||
The vast expanse of Bengali literature is full of multifaceted detective characters. Although the seeds of detective literature came to India from Western countries, it was hidden in various stories of ancient times. Whose identity is revealed in Professor Sukumar Sen’s book “Crime Kahinir Kalkranti”. He says, “The game of intelligence has emerged as a complete branch of detective stories in modern literature, from the beginning of the fifth decade of the nineteenth century. But the seeds of this story, we can also say the sprout-nourished seedlings, have been seen since very ancient times. The primitive crime story that we have found was the game of intelligence.”1 Basically, a detective story begins with a serious problem and the person who takes the main role in solving that problem is the hero or detective or detective. Detective literature reflects the diversity of the character of the detective and their work. Two categories can be observed among these detectives – a) professional b) amateur or hobbyist detectives. However, the investigation method of each detective is different and varied. Bimal Kar adds a new dimension to detective literature by creating the character of the magician detective Kikira. Kikira is not a professional detective, he is an Armchair or hobbyist detective. Even the mystery he is involved in, at the root of it, was the strong desire to help people. The subject of our current research paper is the revelation of the character traits of the magician detective Kikira. In the full research paper, the character of Kikira will be analyzed in the light of one novel written by Bimal Kar about Kikira.
