Kali Prasanna Singh's Hutom Pyanchar Naksha is a parody on Kolkata's wealthy society. Although there are many different characters, the nouveau riche are the writer's primary targets. He describes how they have used fraud, gambling, ruses, and deceit to obtain fortune. The book is significant historically because it accurately captures modern-day Kolkata in the middle of the 19th century. It is noteworthy for using the local tongue of Kolkata and the areas around it. The language of the book is referred to as "Hutomi Bangla" because the author used the pseudonym "Hutom."
