It denounced terrorism when revolutionary terrorism was a symbol of courage, dedication, sacrifice and heroism. It asserts that the good of man, cannot be attained by the ruin of another. Ela, the heroine, makes others aware of the value of love and individuality and voices her moral anxieties against violence. The novel justifies Tagore’s claim that it is not a political novel but a love story.
