Abstract:

An eminent story writer of the Ramdhenu era,Dr. Birendra kumar Bhattacharya provided an immense storehouse of discoveries to the Assamese literature. his role as the editor of the milestone Assamese literary journal along with his active participation led to the formation of the golden era. Dr.Bhattacharya was a prominent story writer who was a prominent story writer, who was aware of the society and the ideal of most of his works was social reality. He was alert and vehemently opposed social injustice and corruption. There is a clear and detailed depiction of socio-political aspects in his stories. In the same way ,Dr.Bhattacharya was deeply influenced by socialism and following Marxist ideology, he also dreamt of reforming the society. And the same gets aptly reflected in his stories.
Dr.Bhattacharya‘s 'kolong Ajiyo Boi‘was a notable story. the urge to achieve independence and at the same time shattered dreams had been taken as the back drop of his story.but independence was unable to reform the poverty stricken lives of Thogiram and Sonpahi. Rise in revenue system and increasing price of commodities had totally devastated their lives even after independence. It was true that their dreams shattered, but they didn‘t accept failure. Independence of the farmers ,right to property and getting rid of revenue system became their primary objectives in order to attain their absolute independence. It is a fact that the primary objective of progressive literature is to create a harmonious sociable society, with equal rights. The indomitable spirits of Sonpahi and Thogiram were determined enough for a human movement in order to create a harmonious society. And altogether we get a glimpse of the progressive spectrum that the story tries to ponder at. Therefore, in this paper ,a prompt attempt has been made in order to analyse the possible progressive attitude that the prescribed story tries to depict.
