Chandan Da Matir Manooh is by Hitesh Deka, as confirmed by Paresh Malakar of Anwesha. Mati Aru Manooh to my belief is a translated piece and a Russian one at that. Like you, I have not read Pearl S Buck's Good Earth and there the characters' names are not what you say. And I am sure we did not have PSB's translated work at our place, only the English ones. Paresh says he'll trace the book if it was there in the first place.
