Pratibimbo (2) by Apala Mitra [Hardcover]

"Reflection mirrors the distorted primitive nature hidden within our current advanced society, showcasing the degradation of this society, the silent tears, humiliation, indignity, and insult faced by women. In this world, a woman's beauty is not a source of happiness, but rather a bringer of sorrow, not a cause for love, but for baseless suspicion. This narrative portrays various facets of a woman, sometimes as a beloved, a woman of splendor, a wife, sometimes as a loving and self-sufficient mother, and also as a daughter-in-law. Yet, she has to undergo a test of purity in the fire of society's cruelty time and again. But when hard times return, a woman takes on a fierce form, becomes rebellious, engages in acts of destruction, and denies her role, telling male society, ‘Today, look at yourself, look at your society, arrogant man, where is your existence without a woman's compassion? Your face shows nothing but helplessness today.’"
