"Jaya Somanath" by K.M. Munshi in Gujrati was another such classic historical novel detailing Mahmud Ghazanavi's attack on Somanath temple. Acharya Chatursen also wrote a book "Somanath" in Hindi but it didn't have the same depth. Bankimchandra Chattopadhyaya of course wrote several books in Bengali in the same vein, some fiction like "Ananda-Math", some historical fiction like "Raj-singh".
But the success of "Avarana" tells that there is an undercurrent of disquiet.
