Ghare Baire by Rabindranath Tagore

Ghare Baire by Rabindranath Tagore is all about a story that takes place during the Swadeshi movement against British rule. The novel revolves around three central characters — Nikhil, Bimla, and Sandeep. Nikhil is gentle and morally driven. He believes in freedom, equality, and non-violence. He encourages his wife, Bimla, to step beyond domestic life. Influenced by the fiery nationalist Sandeep, Bimla strays morally before realizing his hypocrisy. Her awakening and return to Nikhil form the emotional core of this thought-provoking novel.
