Marginalized Women in Post-Independence Bengali Novels: Voices of Protest and Resistance Dr Ajimul Hoque, Asst. Prof, Dept. of Bengali, Dinabandhu Mahavidyalaya, Bongaon, West Bengal, India | |
Peasant movements are an important theme in Bengali novels after Independence. From Mahasweta Devi, Debesh Roy, Jharjeshwar Chattopadhyay to Soharab Hossain—each of them has portrayed different kinds of peasant movements in their novels. From the Tebhaga movement to the Naxalite movement and the recent Singur-Nandigram movement—all have emerged as subjects in their novels. Mahasweta Devi wrote in protest against the land acquisition policy affecting the Adivasis, Debesh Roy wrote highlighting the history of deprivation of the farmers of North Bengal, Jharjeshwar Chattopadhyay wrote about the Tebhaga struggle of Kakdwip, and Soharab Hossain wrote about the agricultural policies of the Left Front government and the recent Singur-Nandigram movements. The protesting characters in each of these novels are not only men, but women as well. How women, as rebellious figures, have leapt into the fight against landlords, zamindars, and exploiters to claim their rights and to free themselves from the curse of deprivation—these issues will be discussed in this essay. | |
