Rajni

“Beauty is not judged by the two eyes on the face, but is experienced through the depth of the soul” — this truth becomes evident upon reading this novel, as Tagore remarked.
Bankim Chandra Chatterjee’s works continue to be read with great enthusiasm even today, which is why they have been translated into many languages around the world. Rajni is one of his most popular novels, in which Bankim masterfully portrays the longing of a blind woman to see — a depiction rarely found elsewhere. The story is filled with such deep human compassion that it profoundly moves the reader. The translation and abridgment of this novel have been done by Shri Ramnath ‘Suman’.
