Abstract: The Circle of Reason (1986) is the debut novel of Amitav Ghosh. The novel opens up in a village named Lalpukur where a boy reaches his destination with his maternal aunt, Toru-debi. This is the story of Nachiketa Bose, known throughout the novel as Alu because his head which had so many knots and bumps. The boy is given the name as Alu by his uncle, Balaram. Alu is the central character of the novel through which we can observe the entire action episode of the novel. The hero of' The Circle of Reason is Nachiketa Bose, but he is called Alu which means ''potato.'' He arrives at his uncle Balaram’s house at the age of eight years as he lost his parents in a road accident. Alu becomes gifted at languages. He also masters the technique of weaving. He proves to be a skillful weaver in the village. A surge of events leads to Alu’s escape across India, into the Middle East and across Northern Africa, pursued by a determined policeman, Jyothi Das, under the alleged reason that he is a suspect in a terrorist incident. He goes through a flight of the imagination which takes shape on a basis of misdirected laboriousness when Alu's uncle Balaram sets phrenology forcibly to experiment on him. The array of bumps and swelling flourish cheerfully all over his head and showed no signs by any means by dividing into distinct and recognizable organs. It was all very funny and very encouraging as a benefit of new exciting material. It imitated Balaram's paper on the vagueness of the organs of the brain.
