Abstract:
This paper situates pioneering travel narratives of women in colonial Bengal and explores their multi-layered experiences and problematics of identity in relation to the centre-periphery dyad. It also unravels how translated accounts of Krishnabhabini Das and Durgabati Ghose in A Bengali Lady in England (2015) and The Westward Traveller (2010), respectively, explicate the development of their identities by juxtaposing an expanding consciousness resulting from their accumulated observations. Locating the nascent stages of women’s writing in colonial Bengal, it brings to the fore complex issues

Abstract:
There is a vast landscape for diasporic perspectives within contemporary South Asian literary discourse. Amidst such dialogue, it is imperative that we revisit the pioneering work of diasporic authors such as Monica Ali. Her novel, Brick Lane (2004), marks a compelling, nuanced portrayal of Bengali diasporic identity that shifts beyond the tendency to assign fixed labels, embracing instead the dynamic tensions and dissonance that diasporic identities bring. In presenting the subjectivities of various Bengali immigrant women, she highlights further the space for contrast even within this diaspo

Abstract:
Modern South Asian literature celebrates Draupadi as one of the key icons that helps explore the embedded tenets of thoughts about self, history, and polity. Human beings make meaning of their endeavours in the political setup of historical context by placing self-therein. Bengali novelist Mahasweta Devi (1926-2016), Oriya novelist Pratibha Ray (1943-), and Nepali novelist Neelam Karki (1975-) rewrite Draupadi’s myth from the Mahabharata in “Draupadi” (1978), Yajnaseni (1984), and Cheerharan [Disrobing] (2016) respectively. Each of the woman authors addresses the formation of a woman’s self at

Abstract:
Mahasweta Devi is not only one of the most prolific Bengali authors, but she’s also an important activist. In fact, for Devi, the two seem to go together. As you can probably tell from the titles, she writes about women and their place in Indian society. Some of the characters in her stories are old women living in poverty, and some of them are exploited because of their lack of wealth; however, some of them are middle class (one of them is even college-educated). Regardless of their status, though, they all suffer some kind of mistreatment, whether it’s physical or mental abuse, but not all o

Abstract:
Discrimination against women is a widespread occurrence on a global scale. A global challenge involves attaining equal rights for all genders. In Bangladesh, prejudice has historically been based on two factors: gender and religion. Hindu women likewise experience prejudice and mistreatment based on their gender and faith. The authors applied quantitative method to collect primary data from two districts of Bangladesh: Bogura and Dhaka. Two villages of Bogura district, Khanpur and Koil under Dupchanchia upazila and Dhakessory Temple in Dhaka city were selected as the study area by the authors.

Abstract:
Prema Shah’s “A Husband” and Rokeya S. Hossain’s “Sultana’s Dream” present two complementary versions of women’s world: the real in Shah and the imagined in Hossain aspire to make the other complete. The worldview that each author projects in their texts reasserts the latent spirit of the other one. The embedded interconnectedness between the authors under discussion reveals their unique association and bond of women’s creative unity towards paving a road for the upliftment of women in general. The paper seeks to find out the historical forces leading to the formation of a certain type of bond

Abstract:
Diasporic literature is a pivotal term in literature that includes the literary works of the authors who are the outsiders for their native country but their work is deeply rooted in homeland by reflecting native culture, background, displacement and so on. Indian women’s literary work is at the forefront of diasporic literature. The advent of Indian women novelists on the literary horizon is an important development in the Indian English literature. These women writers have also contributed to other genres, such as drama, poetry and short stories, not only in English but also in regional lang

Abstract:
In this study I want to show that the greatest Bengali writer and the greatest English writer had one concern in common as fathers—how to marry their daughters to suitable bridegrooms. This anxiety of the daughters’ fathers is counterpoised by the greed for dowry among the young men seeking a rich father-in-law. While my article will develop along this contrapuntal opposition–father’s anxiety versus dowry-hunter’s greed, I’ll also shed light on the biographical elements of both these writers as the depiction in their works of young women being married to wrong hands is so persistently identifi

Abstract:
Myths evolve and transform into new narratives in contemporary times through cultural appropriation as societies treat myths as vantage points to examine and interpret contemporary reality. Creative authors appropriate myths into emerging contexts to pass commentary on the prevailing reality, to derive meaning out of incoherent conditions of the time, and to make emergent situations more intelligible to the world. Popular Bengali writer, Mahasweta Devi (1926-2016) has employed Draupadi from the Mahabharata as the voice of the revolting Santhals from Bengal in the 1970s. Her short fiction “Drau

The ‘Introduction’ helps the readers situate Hindu and Brahmo women’s literary outpourings within the wider sociopolitical context of nineteenth-century Bengal. It locates the eager penmanship of Bengali women within the larger and growing milieu of print literature; the tension between formal and informal forms of Bengali language; and the statistical analysis of ‘books in print’. The startling fact of the price of woman-authored books being on par with male-authored ones is a revelation about the market for women-authored texts.

The conclusion focuses upon reception-based approach to understand the significance of women authors in the social map of reading community in nineteenth-century Bengal. It demonstrates how, even after the emergence of a sizeable reading community catering to books authored by women, due to the spatial ‘respectability’ of the presses from which their books got published the reception of prohibited penmanship by women by the bhadralok society in ‘renascent’ Bengal was disappointing. Since some women flouted the norms of literary aesthetics and tutored tastes, the bhadralok critics, in their rev

Her fictional exploration of the impact of nationalist ideals on middle-class Bengali women in the Hindi-belt further challenged the patriarchal authority with which Dwivedi and other nationalists sought to shape an emergent nation.

Abstract Mrs. K. Ahmad's short story "Spartan Hearts" was first published in Saogat, an early twentieth-century Bengali women’s journal. In this fascinating story, she tells about the bravery and courage of the women of Sparta (ancient Greece). The references to the trans-Islamic framework of the story debunk myths about the knowledge, education, and understanding of the early Muslim women authors who, more often, are stereotyped as merely complaining of domesticity and patriarchy in Muslim societies. In “Spartan Hearts,” Ahmed describes how the women of Sparta had sturdy, adamantine hearts. W
