The Man from Chinnamasta
''The Man from Chinnamasta'' is a novel published in 2005 and written by Indira Goswami, who was awarded the Sahitya Akademi Award〔(India Club )〕 in 1983, the Jnanpith Award〔(Frontline Vol 18 Issue 17 )〕 in 2001 and the Prince Claus Awards in 2008.〔(Prince Claus Foundation Citation )〕 Set in pre-independence British Assam, it was written with a specific political vision : to exhort her readers to protest against the practice of animal sacrifice in the ancient Kamakhya Temple in Assam. Once published, it took Assam by storm〔(Katha in the News )〕 because of its subversive nature. The Brahmins especially took offence for her frank demand to remove an ancient practice in the most important Shakti temple of the world. Set in the times of unrest and turmoil at the turn of the twentieth century, the novel paints the hoary history of Assam's most famous temple of the Sakta cult, Kamakhya.
==Plot==
The novel follows the relationship of Dorothy Brown, a British woman in Assam, and her relationship with a tantric of the Kamakhya Temple in Assam. Ratnadhar and Bidhibala's -the child widow's- story runs parallel to this narrative. Ratnadhar organizes a signature campaign against the practice and faces many troubles in the process.
