Rajani by Amita Ray
₹399.00
Rajani, one of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay’s finest early novels, tells the moving story of a blind flower-seller whose courage, inner strength and longing for love illuminate the social and emotional realities of 19th-century Bengal. Through four compelling first-person narratives, the novel explores class, gender, disability and identity with rare psychological depth. In this graceful and accessible English translation by Amita Ray, the timeless classic comes alive for modern readers, offering a powerful portrait of resilience and human dignity.
