Abstract :
PART ‘A’ Above all, Bhabani Bhattacharya is a humanist interested in the progress of the Indian society in every walk of like. He evokes compassion for the poor and the downtrodden. He brings to light social evils like hunger, inequality, cruelty, inhumanity and hypocrisy. He exposes through his novels the utter lack of morals and human values in the society. In He who Rides a Tiger, Bhattacharya employs a lie to expose the truth about caste and religion as they obtain in the society. The protagonist of the novel is Kalo. His sufferings and thirst for revenge on the society constitute the main theme of the novel. The superstitions among the people, casteism, the horrors of war and famine, the exploitation of the poor by the rich and the increasing evils of money-power are picturised in the novel. Kalo is presented as a champion of social freedom. His fight is not with any single individual. He wants to take revenge on the entire upper-class society. Ultimately, he learns, out of his miseries and experiences, that to be true to one’s own self is most important.
