Author: Bani Basu

Khana Mihirer Dhipi delves into the layers of a complex and ancient past, exploring prehistoric times and the evolution of societal structures across different generations.
The novel follows characters from both the ancient and contemporary worlds, including Matangi, Ronka, Madhura, Nimesh, Bhag, Aryama, and their modern counterparts—Ranja, Isha, Nishith, and Subir.
The story raises profound questions about gender division, its origins, and its historical and modern-day implications.
It explores how societal norms and expectations for women have been forcibly imposed, manipulated, and constantly altered through generations.
The novel highlights patriarchal oppression, domestic violence, and the lingering barbaric cruelty of practices like Sati, showing how even highly educated individuals today continue to perpetuate such biases.
Through a powerful narrative, the author questions humanity’s failure to progress towards true civilization and seeks possible answers.
