Review – Bindur Chele was published by Sarat Chandra Chattapadhyaya in the year 1913. It was about the story of two mothers of a Bengali Family. Annapurna was the mother of Amulya but Bindubashini got to take care of Amulya. So, Amulya had two mother. As Bindubashini got to take care of Amulya, she took the final decision about Amulya. Her decision was final. As she came from an affluent family, the other family members did not get confidence to communicate with her, except Annapurna and Jadab. Jadab called her “Maa”.He loved her so much. But after some years, when Elokeshi entered, some changes occur in the relationship between Bindu and Annapurna. Bindu took care of Amulya with nobleness and lots of love and gosh. Annapurna did not like that. This has also created misunderstanding between them.
But after some years, when Annapurna gave money to Amulya, Bindu got very angry and she told some offensive words to Annapurna. In this way, the two family splits.
After this, Bindu realizes her mistakes. She missed her Amulya. After some days, Bindu went to her parents house and she got very sick. When Annapurna, Jadab, and Amulya went to see Bindu, all realizes their mistakes and the story ended with with lots of understanding.
This story is my favourite because, this story is basically about two mothers. One mother gave birth and another mother took care of the child. So, both of the lady are mother. Even if the relation is not about the blood, one can be a mother. For that reason, Bindu could not take any offensive words that were said about Amulya. It is not necessary to have a blood relation to become a mother but it is necessary to have that motherhood.
