Description:The unforgettable story of a trailblazing woman, penned by one of India’s greatest literary luminaries.Indira Goswami’s last work of fiction is the heroic tale of a freedom fighter who was, thought to be the first woman revenue collector, a tehsildar, in British India. Set in late 19th-century Assam, the novel paints with a majestic sweep the ever-changing landscape of Indian society. Tehsildar is a fascinating character, recreated from folklore, from songs and stories passed down for generations. Her exploits, galloping across the plains of Bijni kingdom in lower Assam to collect taxes for the British, is a compelling one that inspires awe and admiration. At a time when educated Indians, social reformers and the British government were trying to fight misogynist practices such as sati, child marriage and the purdah system, Tehsildar was a woman working with the British officers, shoulder to shoulder, as a tax collector who shunned her society’s expectations. Indira Goswami has woven a complex tale wherein the foundations of the colonial rulers were shaken by insurgents seeking freedom across Assam just before the rise of the Indian National Congress.READ LESSWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
