Born Transgender in Selected Bengali Novels: An Assessment of Traditional Reformation/ নির্বাচিত বাংলা উপন্যাসে জন্মগত হিজড়ে : চিরাচরিত সংস্কারের মূল্যায়ন

Abstract

Brihannalas have a narrow presence in society and literature since ancient times. As they suffer, neglect, ridicule in the society as well as in literature. Unliberated peoples move, talk and talk about the politics of imposition since time immemorial. The black cloud of incomparable power would cover their whole life, there was not a single drop of sunshine to be seen. They had to live in a kind of exile from human life. As time changes, people's hearts and minds change, so do our perspectives, and with this change, we open the doors of truth and unravel the tangle of mysteries. Crossing the deep path of darkness, I see the light. But that light reaches few people, so most people cannot break the veil of superstition and come out. And do we try to pull the exiled people into the dark well even if we see the light? Rather, we know everything and consider them as human beings instead of raising our hands in a hateful mentality, and we stand by and watch them sink into darkness and help them sink deeper. And the drowning deprived people forget to raise their voices in helplessness, they lock themselves up just to survive and therefore do not fight for their rights, thus spending their lives in a kind of survival and non-survival. Along with the change in people's social mentality, there have been various changes in the novel. From 1947 to the present time, they have been revealed in several writing talents through different characters, fragmented and as a whole. The meaning of living as a member of society as a common man is revealed in their voice. The desire to return to the mainstream of society is still embodied in their hearts. They have transitioned from the hijra life to the good system of medicine. Writing about them is less but not less. Their lives have been captured in the pen of several writers. However, even in novels such as their bratya and aparag dasha in the society, their bratya and aparag dasha have not yet been completed.
