Lobonakta' is a short story written by Bimalendu Haldar. It chronicles the

trials and tribulations of the fishing community of the Sunderban islands. It

depicts the fiery resistance of the Dalit women who decide to go downriver in

search of their missing husbands. The apathy of the mahajan transforms the

helplessness of the women into collective resistance. The story marks the

complexity of how caste, class and gender intersect and perform in their daily

lives. It also shows that when pushed to the brink, the seemingly wimpy

women script their own Dalit solidarity.
