In colonial Bengal, women were marginalised by the suppression of patriarchal society’s customs and rules. The women suffered from the conventional restrictions of society. Rabindranath Tagore has demonstrated education, equality as well as freedom for women through the novel Home and the World. Tagore is a progressive writer who uses his pen as a weapon of fighting for women’s advancement. He focuses rigidly in his writings on the liberation, freedom, equality, power, justice, rights and dignity of Bimala. Tagore’s Home and the World focused on nationalism and womanhood from an ethical point of view and emancipation. The effects of the Swadeshi movement have been represented in Home and the World. This research endeavours to study Bimala’s progressive attitudes and the obstacles to her transformation in the nineteenth-century Colonial Bengal society. Tagore focuses on Bimala’s transformation from the “zenana” to the outer world. She is the woman who carries both the traditional and emancipated type. She attempts to revolt against the societal double standards of society.
