- Authors
Talukdar, Utpal; Nirmal, Pandit B.
- Abstract
The present paper tries to probe into the characteristic features of the male protagonist, Indranath through the lenses of a female writer. It also focuses on the weakness, passivism, timidity and other human virtues of the young protagonist in the sattra society. Indranath is one of the finest male protagonists of Indira Goswami's novel, The Moth-Eaten Howdah of the Tusker. He experiences mental turmoil in a society, mainly dominated by the sattra rituals and feudal system of the pre-independence period of Assam. He faces a powerful picture of change and transition. Being a young Sattradhikar, he has to balance his role between the follies of sattra monastery and the phase of reformation.
