As a teenager in 1971, Asish Sarkar navigated chest-deep waters, evaded gunfire, and crossed a raging river under the gaze of Pakistani soldiers — all in his desperate bid to reach safety in India during the Bangladesh Liberation War. In his gripping memoir, Under the Shadow of Death, Sarkar recounts not only the life-threatening dangers he faced but also the unyielding spirit that carried him through. From harrowing escapes to moments of quiet courage, his story offers a deeply personal lens on one of history’s defining struggles. Speaking with New India Abroad, Sarkar reflects on the resilience forged in those days, the cultural identity he cherishes in the diaspora, and his steadfast belief that hope remains the strongest anchor when everything else collapses.
