About the Book:
"Kathabola Putul" by Swapnamoy Chakraborty is a symbolic and socially reflective novel that explores the condition of women in a deeply patriarchal society. The central character, Mahamaya, represents not just an individual but a broader image of women who have long been deprived of agency and autonomy, often controlled and shaped by others.

Throughout the narrative, Mahamaya moves through different phases of life, encountering people like Monsaram, Dibakar, and Parul, each relationship adding layers to her journey. From being subjected to exploitation to becoming a source of support and strength for others, her transformation is gradual yet profound.

Ultimately, Mahamaya transcends her identity as a “puppet” and emerges as a voice for womanhood—expressing resilience, self-realization, and the quest for dignity. The novel stands as a powerful commentary on identity, survival, and the evolving role of women in society.
