 Mahasweta Devi is noted in recent decades for her works related to the study of the rural tribal communities of West Bengal, women and dalits. She is also an activist who is dedicated to the struggle of tribal people in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. In her elaborate Bengali fiction, she often depicts the brutal oppression of tribal peoples and the untouchables by potent, authoritarian high-caste landlords, lenders, and venal government officials.
Her works include the following:
Hajar Churashir Ma (No. 1084`s Mother, 1975)
Aranyer Adhikar (The Occupation of the Forest, 1977)
Agnigarbha (Womb of Fire, 1978)
Choti Munda evam Tar Tir (Choti Munda and His Arrow, 1980)
Imaginary Maps, 1995 (translated by Gayatri Spivak) London & New York.
