Emperor vs Sarat Chandra

In January 1927, the novel was banned by the British colonial government (British Raj) for its revolutionary theme and for openly challenging the government. Within a week, it sold out all its available copies. In 1938, Chattopadhyay died of liver cancer. The next year in 1939, the ban was lifted by the government.
