Satinath’s Dhorai Charit Manas: An In-Depth Observation of an Alternative Dimension of Reality Dr. Nandita Roy, Associate Professor, Dept. of Bengali, Government Degree College, Dharmanagar, North Tripura, India | |
One of
the most resplendent Bengali novelist who hails from the province of Bihar,
Sathinath Bhaduri, was flowing by the reader’s excitement after writing
Jagoree, had been subsided after publication of ‘Dhorai Charito Manos’, when it
comes to portray marginalized character in a heroic demeanor. He has brought
the duality of meaning of the word"Other"in his novel"Dhorai
Charito Manas"where he has depicted how the mainstream readers found it
difficult to accept such a rustic character being treated with such lionized
way. It shows how people at that time were segregated in terms of 'they' and
'us' because the protagonist of the novel Dhorai was a limpid being who has a
mix character shades that the Aristocraric readership didn't look it well as
they considered such character meek and unworthy of such literary
magnification. But yet Bhaduri with his brevity of language and a keenness to
bring about a transformation in literary canon has made the character the most
disputed character who has both the mix of heroic and mundane traits. Bhaduri
with the characterization of Dhorai shows that he has the intent and will power
to challenge the elite ruling class but he had to face many adversities from
society that blocked his path from going ahead in his goal. In this regard it
has to be said that Bahduri had broken the iconoclastic image of what literary
heroes had once been among the elite class but Bhaduri tried to break this
conventional notion of hero worship and rather put an ordinary character like
Dhorai as a hero. In the case, one should call him unsung hero who probably had
all the desired Attributes to be called a hero but just unlike Sri Rama has
been shown as an indisputable hero here Dhorai has become a blurrer hero
because the readership were used to read only established writing. Madhusudan Dutta, in
his epic MeghnadhBadh" tried to depict Indrajit as a forgotten champion
but we all know that it doesn't matter how much exotic quality one possess, the
world will remember only the victor. So, it's evident that, no matter what your
purpose of fight is but if you are not holding any might then you would be
erased like you never existed.
Dhorai's character shown us that it's hard to
get readers who will celebrate such heroes because we have preinstalled notion
of heroes as a elite class personnel but
when a rustic character like
Dhorai
gets such limelight it's hard for the nobility to digest this.. Bhaduri has
brought to light the most hotly debated conception of 'Other' where he has
shown how an invisible yet stark reality demarcate line between those who hold
and enjoy power and those who find themselves at the receiving end. Had Dhorai
been an elite then today he might have get the same accolade as other stellar
popular literary heroes have got. | |
