The Home and The World Review:

The story follows the themes of rationality and corruption and of reality and truth. Most people thought that through Sandeep, Tagore wanted to show Gandhi but others disagree since Gandhi was largely against violence and Tagore admired Gandhi too much to paint him as a negative character in the book.

The concept of love is explored through Nikhil and Bimala’s relationship since Nikhil married his wife even though she came from a poor family. Also, he tries to educate her and make her more aware of the happenings in the country.
