Hello,
Thank you for making these book suggestions.

The serialized form was published before 1927, and so we would be able to record it if, and only if, we can find the original serial publications in which it appears. Since it wasn't published in book form until after that date, we can't record it using the book text, which has a separate copyright.

I'd like to offer Kopal-Kundala, which appears PD, as a group project.
Is there a reason not to?

No reason I could think of.

There's also another translation from 1919 on wikisource, together with the scans of the pages:

I have posted the book in new projects.

Ma'am,how did you come to know of Bankim Chandra Chattapadhyay?Have you read about him earlier?

Just wanted to know.

Dear Adhiram, it was your own post in book suggestions that reminded me of him. Would you like to read a chapter or two for us? It's in readers needed - books, and has begun recording.

Czandra

Sorry Ma'am,I do not have a PC.Moreover,I also fear that I might turn away from my commitment(of recording),once I make it.
I ask for your pardon.

By the way,what made you wish to record his work?From what I know,he is not very famous outside India and Bangladesh.Have you ever read his works earlier?Or was it because of the Bio I gave of him?

Thank You again,Have A Good Day.It was a pleasure meeting you.
