Dwairath by Tapan Bandyopadhyay [Hardcover]

"The central character of the story is a woman—an ordinary housewife named Dopati. She constantly recites rhymes. Through this habit, she becomes popular in the area, eventually rising to the position of Panchayat Chief. This is the first major novel to delve into the politics-ridden rural Bengal at such depth."
The narrative sounds compelling! Dopati's journey from a housewife to a leader showcases the transformative power of individuality, doesn't it?
