  1. Vansh Khanna

    Tagore’s writing is beautiful, but I struggled to connect with Bimala. The political context is fascinating, though.

  2. Akash Tripathi Tripathi

    A classic for a reason! The characters are complex, and the story is thought-provoking. Highly recommend.

  3. Anoushka Dhingra

    The themes are relevant even today. The writing style took some getting used to, but worth the effort.

  4. Hardik Sharma

    Found it a bit slow-paced, but the exploration of Indian nationalism was quite insightful. Overall a decent read.

  5. Pulkit Bhayana

    The book can be slow at times, but overall it is a good book to read.

  6. Sanyam Jain

    While beautifully written, the plot felt predictable. I wanted more depth from the characters.

  7. Yash Sharma

    Interesting historical context, but the romantic elements overshadowed the political ones for me.

  8. Karan Gurbani

    A captivating story that explores the complexities of love, duty, and nationhood. Highly recommended!

  9. Manan Ajmani

    Tagore’s novel is a wonderful and engaging story that is a must read.

  10. Apoorv Parashar

    Good story, but I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

  11. Priya Bharti

    An amazing book to read. It is really thought provoking and emotional.

  12. Subhankar Ghosh

    Bimala’s journey is heartbreaking. Tagore masterfully portrays the conflict between personal desires and societal expectations.

  13. Arun Kumar Singh

    Struggled with the dated writing style. The themes were interesting, but hard to fully engage with.

  14. Adya Goswami

    Not my favorite Tagore novel. The love triangle felt forced, and I didn’t sympathize with the characters much.

  15. Garima Sharma

    A powerful story about identity and freedom. The ending was particularly impactful.

  16. Vedant Agarwal

    Tagore at his finest! The language is lyrical, and the story is deeply moving. A must-read.
