Neamat Imam is a controversial Bangladeshi writer, now living in Canada. He is also an educator and holds a PhD. Neamat Imam is most notable for his novel The Black Coat (Penguin Books India 2013) which sheds new light upon the rule of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who was in power in the early 1970s. While Sheikh Mujib is regarded as the Father of the Bangali Nation, Neamat Imam's novel presents him as the country's deadliest dictator, who ushered in a wave of repression, famine, and brutality. Neamat Imam is a secularist and it is his belief that the nation of Bangladesh needs to tell the truth about what occurred under Sheikh Mujib, rather than seeing him as some kind of heroic figure.

What is Bangladeshi author Neamat Imam's novel The Black Coat about?
The Black Coat is a new novel published in South Asia by Penguin Books India. It has been considered "a fine work of fiction," "an extraordinary book" and "the gold standard for any book which seeks to engage with South Asian politics or history" by critics across India.The subject of this novel is the rule of post-independence Bangladeshi leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. He governed Bangladesh from 1972 to 1975. Most Bangladeshis regard him as the Father of the Bangladeshi nation. But in The Black Coat Neamat Imam presents the totalitarian side of his rule.Sheikh Mujib was brutally killed by some elements of the Bangladesh army in 1975. Bangladeshi people mourn every year on 15 August remembering him. His party, the Awami League, which is led by his daughter Sheikh Hasina, present prime minister of Bangladesh, believes he was killed by those who did not want to see Bangladesh prosper as an independent and democratic nation. But in The Black Coat Neamat Imam argues a totalitarian ruler cannot be kept in the forefront of the Bangladeshi nation's struglle for democracy.Highly controversial in nature, The Black Coat may be called the Asian version of Dostoyevsky's long celebrated novel Crime and Punishment.
