Subarnalata was a Bengali television series that originally aired on Zee Bangla in 2010, and was based on the second part of the book trilogy by Ashapoorna Devi of the same name.
(Mon - Sun 10.30PM) Subarnalata[5] chronicles the life and times of a Bengali Hindu girl called Subaranalata aka Subarno who is brought up in a progressive household by her mother Satyabati, by enrolling her to Bethune School and imparting in her a deep sense of love for the motherland and respect for the freedom fighters who fought the British.
Subarno, a strong-headed, courageous but kind and generous woman, defies all the brutalities of her husband, Prabodh, a hot headed conservative man, who is unable to accept his beautiful wife's progressive thoughts and is always suspicious of her noble intentions.
Subarno's kindhearted ways are supported by her eldest brother-in-law Subodh, and elder sister-in-law Susheel and her open-minded husband Kedar babu.
The show presents Subarno's realization that to bring about a change, one does not need to wield a weapon like the revolutionaries fighting the British in India but by trying to gradually peel off the harmful traditions by staying within the same society.
