Tapti Dopahar is a very heart touching novel by Abhimanyu Anant, which presents a tear-jerking story of a poor Hindu family of Mauritius. It presents a vivid picture of the painful lives of the exploited people of this island. This novel is unmatched in terms of intensity of feeling and interest. In this novel, the psychological portrayal of the storm rising within a person who is helpless due to his surroundings has been done in a very balanced manner. Abhimanyu Anant, who is simultaneously associated with teaching, editing and writing, has also been associated with theatre and is fond of making paintings in his leisure time. That is why a glimpse of all the colours of life is seen simultaneously in this work of his.
