Rajmohan's Wife
註釋Rajmohan's wife, it seems, is the first published English novel by an Indian. It has also the distinction of being Bankim Chandra Chatterjee's debut novel as a writer. It is valuable in the sense that he never wrote in English again and turned to Bengali, to become one of the most influential Bengali writers with great works like - Durgesh Nandini, Anandamath etc, which stirred nationalist feelings in the then public. They made him timeless and are still being read by lots of people all over India in various languages. The novel is first serialized in 1864, but did not appear as a book until 1935.
