Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay

Rajani Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay Bengali edition

Rajani (1877), which features an autobiographical plot, with a blind girl in the title role. Autobiographical plots had been used in Wilkie Collins' "A Woman in White," and a precedent for blind girl in a central role existed in Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Nydia in "The Last Days of Pompeii," though the similarities of Rajani with these publications end there.
