Published in 1916, Tagore’s Ghare Baire works on various levels. It is a story about a married woman constricted in her household trying to find her own identity. Bimala, the traditional wife of Nikhilesh is urged by her husband to re-discover, herself and the freedom she was missing out as she literally and metaphorically makes the journey from the indoors to the outdoors. Through her journey and interaction with her husband and Sandip, Nikhilesh’s friend, Tagore presents his commentary on nation and nationalism. The novel also throws light on the Swadeshi movement and the way people reacted to it.
