Yogayog (Hindi)

About the Book

Yogayog revolves around the Ghoshals and the Chatterjees, who are neighbours and sworn competitors. The rivalry between these two families has existed for a long time. To extend an olive branch, it is proposed that Kumudini, the youngest daughter of the Chaterjees, be married to Madhusudan Ghoshal. Kumudini has been brought up to be a submissive, pious woman. Expecting Madhusudan to be like the gods she worships, she is rudely awakened to the crassness of her husband after marriage. What will happen when Kumudini decides to rebel and move out of the house? This famous family drama written by Rabindranath Tagore is a story about how a docile, but self-respecting woman challenges the social injustice meted out to her in the oppressive patriarchal society.
