Bahurani (Hindi) by Rabindranath Tagore [Paperback]

In this gripping tale set in the kingdom of Yashohar, King Pratapaditya is a tyrant who harbors a deep disdain for everyone around him, especially his daughter-in-law, Surma. After marrying Udayaditya, the king's son, Surma finds herself trapped in a nightmarish existence, subjected to the king's cruelty. Despite her suffering, Surma forges a strong friendship with Vibha, King Pratapaditya's daughter, who is heartbroken over her father’s cruel decree to execute her husband. As the three characters navigate their oppressive circumstances, they are pushed to their limits. The story unfolds their struggles and desires for freedom, questioning whether they can summon the courage to confront the king’s iron-fisted rule or if they will remain subjugated under his tyranny.
