Socio-Political Realism and the Struggle for Survival in Bhabani Bhattacharya’s So Many Hungers!

Author(s) Md. Husban Ali, Md. Firoz Alam
Country India
Abstract Bhabani Bhattacharya’s So Many Hungers! (1947) is an unforgettable novel that presents the harsh realities of Indian society under colonial rule. Set during the Bengal famine of 1943 and the freedom movement, it explores hunger in many forms: physical hunger caused by famine, hunger for freedom from British rule, and hunger for dignity in the face of exploitation. Bhattacharya portrays the everyday lives of poor villagers, freedom fighters, intellectuals, and profiteers in a way that is both social and political. His writing combines real events with fictional characters to reveal the sufferings of ordinary people and the cruelty of those in power.
This paper studies the socio-political realism of So Many Hungers! and how Bhattacharya connects history with literature. It shows how colonial policies and social greed created famine, how women and the poor struggled to survive, and how the spirit of resistance and moral strength gave hope to a starving nation. The paper also highlights the message of the novel—that true survival is not only physical but also moral, and India’s independence must be based on both political freedom and social justice.
