Romen Basu is a man of concerns. Basu always writes with a purpose but still hates if someone calls him a sociological novelist. He has concentrated on joint family system in his earlier novels and his later novels centre on social problems. His style is simple while his statements are sharp and emphatic. His themes are complex and the social problems which constitute the themes are caste, religion class and terrorism. The theme or 'cause', as he calls it, calls for attention and study. His concerns are not only limited to India but also towards the world fraternity. Romen Basu is a man of concerns. He writes neither to entertain the reader nor for his own pastime pleasure. He writes with a cause. Having been attached to the world organization (the U.N.O) he must have developed a feeling of fraternity towards the world-family. Hence, he feels greatly pained to see any kind of oppression, exploitation or the injustice done anywhere to mankind. The social issues such as the family disintegration, the caste discrimination, struggle between the haves and have-nots, oppression of the ruled by the rules, of the weaker by the stronger, of the innocent by the crafty criminals, of the minority by the organized majority and even the peace-spoiling disputes of the national and international scale have been of equal concern to him. He has dealt with the problem of family disintegration in his very first novel “A House Full of People” Which is based on the story of his own family.
