500 _aRabindranath Tagore's powerful novel, Set on a Bengali noble's estate in 1908, is both a love story and a novel of political awakening. The Central Character, Bimala, is torn between the duties owed to her husband, Nikhil, and the demands made on her by the radical leader Sandip. Her attempts to resolve the irreconcilable pressures of the home and the world reflect the conflict in India itself and the tragic outcome foreshadows the unrest which accompanied partition in 1947
