Abstract

This paper reexamines the portrayal of widows in colonial Bengali literature, challenging their traditional representation as mere symbols of suffering. Through analysis of works by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, and Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay, it reveals widows as covert revolutionary agents in India’s independence struggle
