About the Book

Shackles of Time—An Incredible Journey—

 

Haunted by the ghost of a forbidden love, the forces of destiny compel a young woman to leave her birthplace, Agra the home of the most romantic Wonder of the World— The Glorious Taj Mahal—to the lush Tea Gardens of Sylhet, Bangladesh, where she forms new bonds with strangers, who are struggling to build their own shattered lives after the bloody genocide by Pakistan against the people of East Bengal. There, a chance meeting with a young Freedom Fighter, Mukthi Bahini, changes the path of her life. She follows him to America, where she discovers his dark side and its shattering impact. Shackles of time is a truly incredible journey through life, of love and loss, of bigotry and intolerance, of forced choices that are beyond one’s control.


About the Author

Born near the lush green tea gardens of Sylhet, Rukhsana Hasib came to America, after her father, a Major in the army, was brutally slain in Bangladesh, (formerly East Pakistan) during the 1971 genocide conducted by the murderous West Pakistan Military Regime, against the people of East Bengal.

 

Her mother and two young sisters were thrown in prison camp where they suffered the indignities and atrocities of the occupation army.

 

She is an ardent admirer, among others, of the courage and dedication of Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, and Oprah Winfrey.
