About the Book
Jamidartantrer Prekshit Jamidar Darpan (Bengali Version) is a critical study of Jamidar Darpan, the renowned social drama by Mir Mosharraf Hossain that vividly portrays the realities of nineteenth-century Bengal’s zamindari system. During this period, oppressive landlord practices created deep tensions between zamindars and tenant farmers, leading to widespread exploitation, injustice, and social unrest in rural Bengal.
This book examines the historical and social background against which Jamidar Darpan was written and explores how the play emerged as a powerful protest against the inequities of the zamindari order. Through its portrayal of the relationship between rulers and subjects, the drama exposes the hardships faced by helpless peasants and highlights the suffering caused by unchecked power and exploitation. The work also reflects the broader social consciousness that was developing in Bengal during the nineteenth century.
Manami Basu analyzes the play from literary, historical, and socio-political perspectives, demonstrating its significance as both a literary text and a document of social protest. By contextualizing the drama within the realities of colonial Bengal, the author offers readers a deeper understanding of the struggles of rural society and the enduring relevance of Mir Mosharraf Hossain’s vision. This book is an important resource for students, researchers, and readers interested in Bengali literature, social history, and nineteenth-century reform movements.
