In 1905, the British government decided to partition Bengal not for administrative efficiency, but to weaken the growing sense of patriotism and unity among its people.
William Edmund, the Governor-General of Bengal, ruled one half of the province alongside Lord Curzon, who governed the other. Edmund was known as a strong, determined, and disciplined man-one who believed deeply in freedom and justice. But everything in his orderly world began to shift the moment he saw her standing at the edge of the Ganga's shore.
Bhargavi Chatterjee was a commoner in a village where most girls were married off by the age of fourteen. At eighteen, she remained unmarried-not by choice, but because she was born with deaf-mutism, a condition the villagers believed was a curse inherited from her late mother. Yet, despite their whispers, which she never heard and superstitions, Bhargavi carried her own dreams and wishes quietly within her-dreams no one could take from her.
A love forbidden by society.
A love divided by countries.
A love stretched across oceans.
A love that was never meant to happen, yet refused to fade.
Their Forbidden Love.
