Kuntala Kumari Sabat' Select Discourse in Prose

Kuntala Kumari Sabat — doctor, reformer, and revered as “Utkal Bharati” — was one of pre-independence India's most powerful women writers. Yet her prose, unlike her poetry, remained locked in Odia for nearly a century. This volume brings it to English for the first time: fiery speeches on religion and womanhood, incisive essays, and intimate letters that reveal the conviction behind her courage. Translated with devotion by award-winning writer Sumitra Mishra, this is a literary rescue — restoring a vital voice of the freedom movement to readers everywhere.
