This novel, The Maharani's Son (Maharani Putra) by Pratibha Ray, is based on the historical agitation by the marginalised Dalits, spearheaded by Dharanidhar Naik, himself a tribal, against the tyrannical monarchy of Kendujhar, a feudatory state in Odisha in the last part of the nineteenth century. The post-colonial fictionalisation of this rebel hero's life and achievement gives an eloquent tongue to the feeble. Smothered voice of dissent against exploitation. This novel, based on such a rebellion, is expected to contribute to Dalit literature in the Indian context today. The novelist has employed the omniscient method to narrate the evolution of Dharanidhar as the son of Nature, as the leader of the tribals, as the Maharani's son and the ill-fated leader betrayed by Phakirmohan Senapati, Dewan of the king of Kendujhar, a prisoner incarcerated in Katak jail, a devotee singing devotional songs in front of the temple of Lord Jagannath at Puri and a sannyasi spending his last days at Aali and finally breathing his last there on 16 May 1914. Thus, a hero disappears not in the limbo of oblivion, but remains redolent in the Hall of Fame of History. This novel is a rare creation of Odia literature in which the two charismatic leaders. Phakirmohan Senapati and Dharanidhar Naik shine with their illuminating vision and magnificence.
