About The Teacher : From Trust to Toxic :Twisted Mystery Thriller
The Teacher
By Anurag Bikram
In a world where truth is dangerous and kindness is a crime, how far can a teacher go to protect his dignity?
An emotionally charged tale of truth, betrayal, and the crumbling innocence in the heart of Bihar’s school system.
Amit, a humble and idealistic Niyojit (contractual) teacher, has spent a decade nurturing children in the rural classrooms of Samastipur. When a golden opportunity for a permanent job through BPSC finally arrives, Amit faces an impossible choice: security or the familiar comforts of his current life.
But what begins as a hopeful new chapter soon spirals into a brutal saga of manipulation, caste politics, false allegations, and deep betrayals .
Excerpt Highlight:
“We are teachers, meant to guide and inspire,” he proceeds. “But right now, we were lost, searching for our own path in the darkness.”
In his new school, Amit quickly wins the hearts of students with warmth, dedication, and gentle humour. But admiration from his pupils becomes the weapon used against him, manipulated by jealous colleagues, led by the cunning and insecure Nivedita, and her secret accomplice Niraj— “master manipulator.”
Excerpt Highlight:
“Nobody ever would call Niraj hot. He had a big belly… But I don’t care about that stuff. I just wanted to teach.”
As innocent friendships with students are twisted into allegations, Amit finds himself framed, cornered by a system that favours the powerful and silences the good.
Excerpt Highlight:
“She rests her black eyes on my face like I am the only person in the room… But no one knew this girl was capable of giving me a moment of trouble.”
Betrayed by those he trusted and punished for kindness mistaken as weakness, Amit must decide whether to break—or to rise.
The Teacher Is more than a story—it’s a brutal mirror to the political games, caste oppression, and moral decay infecting India’s educational institutions. Told in a raw, confessional first-person voice, this novel is a gripping journey through emotional trauma, resilience, and the courage to fight back.
Perfect for fans of true-life-inspired fiction, and stories that pierce the conscience.
