About the Book: Set in 1940s Bengal, The Struggle tells the powerful story of Phulmoti, a young widow fighting to protect her land and dignity amid feudal oppression, and Qutubali, her loyal unlikely ally. Against the backdrop of the Tebhaga peasant uprising and the political tensions of the Congress and Muslim League, their survival is threatened by greed, exploitation, and social injustice. This poignant Bengali literary classic, now sensitively translated, offers a vivid portrayal of rural resilience and a sharp critique of systemic inequality.
