There he falls in love with Tilottama, the alluring daughter of the chieftain Birendra Singh only to discover – too late – the bitter rivalry between their two families.Stirring and colourful, The Chieftain's Daughter created a sensation among Bengali readers with its vigorous storytelling and its bold portrayal of romantic love.
