Prothom Protishruti
The first novel of the trilogy "Satyabati" by Ashapurna Devi
In the book "Prothom Protishruti" or "The First Promise" the author tells us about the struggles, sorrows, and efforts of women in 19th Century colonial Bengal. It starts off with the story of an Eight year old girl named Satyabati who stands up against the social norms, injustice and superstitions. The story is set in Nityendapur, a remote village of the then undivided Bengal. From an early age, Satyabati used to point out all the unfairness and injustice she witnessed which amazed her father, Ramkali. Being somewhat different and unusual than girls of her age, she was always on Ramkali's mind. Despite Ramkali's unwillingness, Satyabati who was married to Nabakumar was transferred to the home of her in-laws in Baruipur when she was only a Nine years old girl. Satyabati's mother-in-law's merciless abuse, maltreatment or the strict supervision, nothing stopped her from fighting to establish her own rights.
After many hardships in her life, Satyabati still wanted her children to become a good person, she wanted her youngest daughter to have the life she once dreamt of. But was she really successful? Or the deity was only giving her false hopes? Was she able to keep the promise she made to herself? I believe this is what the book is about. This is a huge story with variety of realistic characters. From her bad-tempered mother-in-law Elokeshi to Nabakumar's teacher Bhabatosh Master or his cousin Saudamini, everyone had quite an impact in her life. Instead of being confined within the four walls, she broke the shackles of prejudices to experience the life she used to dream of.
“এতো আলো পৃথিবীতে, তবু পৃথিবীর মানুষগুলো এতো অন্ধকারে কেন?”
(There is so much light in this world, yet why do its people reside in so much darkness?"
From the very beginning of the novel, I was really really immersed in the story. I have to agree that Ashapurna Devi's storytelling is insane. The people felt so real like i can't help but wonder how she brought the then rural colonial bengal back to life. The customs and traditions, the change in people and nature, the beliefs everything feels so real like I've been there.
It was a 10/10. A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BOOK!👏👏(It's available in English too) Can't wait to read the two other books of the trilogy, "Subarnalata" and "Bakul-Kotha".
