Abstract

Chandrabati’s Ramayan, or The Ramayan of Chandrabati, is a translated work by Nabaneeta Dev Sen, a woman writer and thinker from Bengal. She completed the manuscript of Chandrabati’s Ramayan just a year before her passing away, and it was published posthumously in 2020. This review of one of her major translated works is a way of paying respect to the distinct literary-academic tradition that she created within the Bengali intelligentsia.
