The Anarchy Of The Memsahib
An extract from an appeal issued by a Bengali woman in the 1880s : 'If you have acquired real knowledge, give no place in your heart to the memsahib like behaviour of neglecting your husband. That is not proper behaviour for a Bengali housewife ... And see if God had not appointed us to this place in the home, how unhappy a place this world would be.'

    In the year 2005, Bengoli women do not make appeals anymore. Which is probably why they have become very unappealing as well. Though that it something you would have never guessed by looking at their names, qualifications, merits, abilities, skills, and techniques on the Times Of India patrimonials, the highest court of appeal.
