    Rebati is the one of the first and major modern Oriya work by one of the great
    writer Fakir Mohan Senapati. The story contains the theme like feminism, girl

    protagonist girl Rebati, who wants to study. Girls and their education are one of the

    independence and we are living in 21 century where we are talking about the smart
    cities and bullet trains. But the other-side government is forced to run the campaign
    like “Beti padhao, Desh Badhao aandolam”. This type of 21-century campaign shows
    that till today India did not totally change on the matter of girl’s education. In 2015,
    university of Aligarh allowanced that girls are not allowed to enter into the library.

    Rebati is a 10 year old girl, who is very talented and intelligent. She is good in
    singing, she sings beautiful bajans and read shalocks of Bhagwad Gitta etc. She
    wants to get education. At the old time, society declares the separate works and
    responsibly for boys & girls. According to society, girls must only learn to cook,
    sewing, singing bajan, participate in religious activity etc. Shayamabandhu is the
    father of protagonist girl. His character contains the elements of modernism. His
    attitude and nature is different to the society. He believes that girls have also right to
    education so he is in favour of his daughter study and decide to send her to “village
    girl’s school” but on the next side, the grandmother and other peoples of
    neighbours were not agree on the Shayambandhu decision.

    Meanwhile, Basudev Mahapatra enters in the village as a school teacher. Basu, got
    his graduation degree from a school of Cuttack and was an orphan so
    Shyamabandhu’s wife treat him as his own child. In response, he also respects and
    care the family and family members. He visits the house daily to teach Rebati. The
    grandmother didn’t like whatever was going in the house but Basu never cares
    about her. A silent love started to develop between Rebati and Basu but they never
    share their emotion with each other. The peoples of neighbours started talking
    about the relation of Rebati and Basu.

    Tragedy takes place in the story when village affected by the Cholera.
    Shyamabandhu and his wife died one by one because of the effect of this disease.
    Shaymabandhu was the only person of the family who has all the responsibility so
    now the family had been the orphan. The Zamindar overthrew the facilities given to
    the family and anyone from the village was not ready to help the family because
    they believe that if they will help them. So then they will also be affected by the
    Cholera. The last hope of family was the Basu, he help the family on every step. The
    person who suffered most was Rebati. He was passing through the sustainable

    of her parent’s death. Then other-side her grandmother accuse and taunt her that
    whatever happened, it was the result of her education or study. Sometime after,
    “Basu” who was the last hope of family also died due to the disease. At the end
    Rebati also died, leaving her Grand Maa alone.
