Charitrahin || Sarat Chandra Chattapadhyay

The story begins with the love story of Satish and Savitri. Satish, a staunch Kulin Brahmin, falls for Savitri, who though belongs to a Brahmin family, is a widow, working as a servant in the mess, and is almost untouchable for the Hero in the tight lidded Hindu Society of 1900s. As both of them are too aware of social hierarchy and diktats, they try to conceal their mutual feelings. They hide their love under the garb of humble care and servitude, thus deluding themselves and others.
