Girls and their education are one of the most controversial issues of Indian history. It had been 69 years of our independence and we are living in 21 century where we are talking about the smart cities and bullet trains. But the other-side government is forced to run the campaign like “Beti padhao, Desh Badhao aandolam”. This type of 21-century campaign shows that till today India did not totally change on the matter of girl’s education. In 2015, university of Aligarh allowanced that girls are not allowed to enter into the library.

According to society, girls must only learn to cook, sewing, singing bajan, participate in religious activity etc. Shayamabandhu is the father of protagonist girl. His character contains the elements of modernism. His attitude and nature is different to the society. He believes that girls have also right to education so he is in favour of his daughter study and decide to send her to “village girl’s school” but on the next side, the grandmother and other peoples of neighbours were not agree on the Shayambandhu decision.

Meanwhile, Basudev Mahapatra enters in the village as a school teacher. Basu, got his graduation degree from a school of Cuttack and was an orphan so Shyamabandhu’s wife treat him as his own child. In response, he also respects and care the family and family members. He visits the house daily to teach Rebati. The grandmother didn’t like whatever was going in the house but Basu never cares about her. A silent love started to develop between Rebati and Basu but they never share their emotion with each other. The peoples of neighbours started talking about the relation of Rebati and Basu.

Shaymabandhu was the only person of the family who has all the responsibility so now the family had been the orphan. The Zamindar overthrew the facilities given to the family and anyone from the village was not ready to help the family because they believe that if they will help them. So then they will also be affected by the Cholera. The last hope of family was the Basu, he help the family on every step. The person who suffered most was Rebati. He was passing through the sustainable pain of her parent’s death. Then other-side her grandmother accuse and taunt her that whatever happened, it was the result of her education or study.
