“Charitraheen” is one of the most powerful and controversial novels written by the legendary Bengali author Sharatchandra Chattopadhyay, now available in Hindi translation. This literary classic explores the complexities of love, societal judgment, and the idea of morality, especially in the lives of women stigmatized by the conservative norms of early 20th-century Indian society.Through the emotionally intense lives of characters like Savitra, Kiranmayi, Satish, and Upendranath, the novel raises bold questions about virtue, character, and human vulnerability. Charitraheen remains deeply relevant even today, highlighting the pain caused by social hypocrisy and the inner strength of the human spirit.
