Paro (Parvati) is a young woman from a middle class Bengali family belonging to the “merchant” caste. Essentially, it is a retelling of the Krishna, Radha, and Meera myths, the relationships between its three protagonists - Devdas, Parvati, and Chandramukhi - paralleling the Hindu deities'.ĭevdas is a young man from a wealthy Bengali Brahmin family in India in the early 1900s. Is a Bengali Romance novel by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay.
The story of Sabyasachi, the charismatic leader of the military organisation, Pather Dabi, and the powerful woman characters around him - their inter-relationship, agony and ecstasy stirred public imagination. Pather Dabi caused an enormous furore following its serialisation in a Bengali monthly - Bangabani. Every Part of Srikanta`s Life-long Journey reflected all the inner philosophy of Life. Srikanta set the precedent for socially conscious writing in modern Indian literature. Through his dynamic and arresting characters, Saratchandra brings alive nineteenth-century Bengal, a prejudice-ridden society that needed to be radically changed. He experiments with becoming a sanyasi, is bewitched for a while by the Vaishnavi, Kamal Lata, and wanders on till his directionless existence finally finds a focus-when he resigns himself to life with the notorious but stunning Pyari Baiji, breaking free of the social values he grew up with. As a young man he travels to Burma looking for new experiences and meets the rebellious Abhaya-who rejects her violent, bigamous husband to live openly with her lover-and learns to question the hypocritical social norms that bind a woman down but let a man off. As a child, he idealizes the chaste Annada Didi-the epitome of selfless devotion to a worthless husband. Srikanta, the narrator, is an aimless drifter, a passive spectator who cannot survive without the support of an individual stronger than himself. He was the master storyteller who created many unique and beautiful characters among them two most famous Characters were 1) Srikanta (Novel Srikanta), 2) Sabyasanchi (Novel Pather Dabi) 3) Devdas (Novel Devdas) 4) Lalu 5) Ramesh (Palli Samaj: The Homecoming).
(15 September 1876 – 16 January 1938) is one of the most popular Bengali novelists and short story writers of early 20th century. Picture and Signature of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay
