Description
Tarashankar Bandyopadhyay (July 23, 1898 - September 14, 1971) is remembered for his unique prose and his insight into human characters, particularly the characters he met in and around the arid land of Birbhum. Our episode for this month is one of his famous short stories, Nari O Nagini, a rare kind of rivalry between snake and human-being. Khora Sheikh catches hold of a wild snake and tames it with care. The pet soon becomes his favourite, earning a golden ornament for its nose. Khora starts calling her “Bibi”, rousing jealousy in Zobaida, Khora’s wife. Bibi leaves Khora at the time of mating. But she returns to the chagrin of Zobaida and bites her.
