Guwahati, February 18:
The much-anticipated launch of Mousumee Bori’s latest novel, Monor Nijanot, was held in Guwahati on February 17, hosted by Usha Rani Devi and Dr. Rumi Borah from Janitri, KRB Foundation. The event, focusing on women empowerment, highlighted the journey of the protagonist Kakoli Rajnandini and her relentless pursuit of self-identity.
Author Mousumee Bori’s Reflections:
Speaking about her novel, Mousumee Bori stated, “Kakoli Rajnandini represents the spirit of today’s woman—resilient, determined, and self-reliant. I hope her story inspires readers to reflect on their own potential and empowerment.”
Publisher Papori Dutta’s Perspective:
Papori Dutta, the publisher, described the novel as "a literary milestone for women empowerment." She added, “Monor Nijanot reflects the evolving role of women in our society, showcasing how women can navigate challenges and carve out their own identity.”
Comparative Study by Dr. Rumi Borah:
Dr. Rumi Borah provided an insightful comparative analysis of Monor Nijanot with Rabindranath Tagore’s Chokher Bali. She remarked, “Both novels explore the theme of women’s self-discovery and empowerment in deeply nuanced ways. In Chokher Bali, Binodini’s journey is shaped by societal constraints, yet her yearning for freedom is evident. In contrast, Kakoli Rajnandini’s character embodies a more modern narrative—she is assertive and actively seeks her own path. The evolution of women’s roles from Tagore’s era to today is powerfully portrayed through these two works.”
Review by Dr. Jita Phukan:
Noted literary critic Dr. Jita Phukan praised the novel, saying, “Mousumee Bori’s Monor Nijanot is a heartfelt exploration of modern womanhood. It beautifully captures the struggles and triumphs of a woman determined to break free from societal norms.”
Conclusion:
The Monor Nijanot book launch turned into a meaningful platform for discussing women’s empowerment and the role of literature in shaping social perspectives. With its strong themes and thought-provoking narrative, the novel is poised to inspire countless readers, thanks to the support of Janitri and KRB Foundation.
