In their epic tale, "The Glass Palace," Ghosh and Amitav vividly illustrate the power of friendship to bridge gaps created by borders and boundaries. Through the characters of Rajkumar, Dolly, and Arjun, the authors demonstrate that true friendship knows no limits and can withstand even the most challenging circumstances.

Despite their vastly different backgrounds and the political tensions between their countries, their friendship blossoms as they navigate the complexities of life in Southeast Asia during the early 20th century. As they grow older, Rajkumar and Dolly's friendship deepens, evolving into a profound connection that transcends national allegiances and societal expectations. They find solace in each other's company, offering support and understanding in times of struggle and strife. Through their unwavering loyalty to one another, they prove that friendship can flourish even in the face of adversity.

Despite the political tensions surrounding them, Rajkumar, Dolly, and Arjun form a tight-knit trio that defies the constraints of nationality and race. Their bond serves as a beacon of hope in a world torn apart by conflict and division. Through the interconnected lives of these characters, Ghosh and Amitav craft a powerful narrative that underscores the universal nature of friendship. Regardless of background or circumstance, the ability to connect with others on a deep, emotional level transcends the barriers that society often imposes. In a world marked by division and discord, the authors remind us of the enduring strength of human connection and the transformative power of friendship.
