Tagore’s works have been adapted, analyzed, deconstructed and rethought even today to the timelessness of his literary ethos with the strongly written female character at the core of his stories to explore the hypocrisy and Victorian morality of our society. The paper seeks to explore what society does to a woman’s potentials by confining her within the four walls of her room with stereotypes and hyper-morality of society. Tagore’s women ask question to the society for its unfair rules and societal norms and condition and emerge themselves as a voice of a generation of women who emphatically challenge the stereotypes of men women binary, religious jingoism, repressive trajectory of social control, and sexual identity. Charulata, the lonely wife tries to emancipate from the oppression to a post-colonial generation for whom the Victorian morality had long since collapsed and emerges as an independent woman that urges on woman’s visibility in the terms of Gloria Anzaldua: “We cannot allow ourselves to be tokenized”. More especially this ideology of the feminist drawing the lines of comparison to understand the similarity of dominant nature of man over woman and the domination of land in the context of gender relationship is reminiscent of Ecofeminism as well.
