Synopsis
A heart-wrenching tale of love that transcends time, Sojan Badiar Ghat by Jasim Uddin is a timeless classic. Set in the village of Shimultali (located in Bangladesh), the description gives us visual imagery of the untapped beauty of rural Bengal.
This literary piece portrays how the communal divide caused by upper-class influential
people create chaos among fellow farmers. The elite class use religion for their benefit consequently creating hate, and destroying the love and life of others. Sojan and Duli are united childhood lovers. Due to the communal riot, the once-united Hindus and Muslims were forced to separate from each other. Fate plays a cruel hand and they meet again, only to be united through death. Sojan and Duli’s love story remain synonymous with yearning, pain and suffering and strike a chord in the heart of the people of Bengal.
