“Dutta” by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay is one of the most beloved works of Indian literature, now available in Odia translation from Friends Publishers. This timeless Bengali classic beautifully captures the emotional and social conflicts of love, family, and class in traditional Indian society. The story revolves around Bijoya Dutta, a young woman torn between duty and desire, tradition and change, as she faces the complexities of arranged marriage and personal choice. Through his sensitive storytelling and profound insight into human emotions, Sarat Chandra presents a vivid picture of early 20th-century Bengal’s social fabric.
