Ardhek Akash by Siuli Sarkar [Hardcover]

The woman is often referred to as "Ardhek Akash." However, in no social, political, or economic field has a woman been able to achieve equal rights and dignity as a man. In Shyuli Sarkar's book, a horrifying picture of gender inequality is captured. Against the backdrop of Western feminism, the book highlights the shameless division between husbands and wives, the tragic consequences of the burqa system, gender-based violence centered around dowry in Rabindranath Tagore's short stories, and the protests, resistance, and empowerment of Indian women and women in fictional works against societal discrimination and adversity. Through the struggles for the acquisition and preservation of their rights, the empowerment of women emerges strongly in the pages of this book. This book will not only assist students, teachers, and researchers but will also inspire literature and socially conscious readers.
