Abstract Bhabani Bhattacharya’s So Many Hungers portrays the central obsession of the sex between man and woman in the society. On one occasion Kajoli begs a soldier for some food. He conciliates her hunger readily and in turn expects her to indulge his sexual hunger. Other than when she falls insensible the soldier repents for his fleeting weakness. The good-natured soldier admits Kajoli in a hospital and sees to her needs. Bhattacharya does not judge the soldier here. Rather he enables the readers to sympathies with him as he creates compensation for the incorrect done to her. Bhattacharya portrays the elements of man-woman relationship together in the families and also in the society in an optimistic approach. Bhattacharya describes at length the better understanding between Rahoul and Monju, about the help rendered to the destitute. Furthermore bravery, faithfulness and manliness other qualities often emphasized in the novel are remorse at wrong-doing, selflessness, sympathy, dignity, self-respect, thankfulness and hard labour. The author depicts man as lustrous as the sun, and personification of truth, strength and deathlessness.
