Who serialized the autobiography called Amar Katha between 1910 and 1931 ?
Explanation
Amar Katha (My Story) is the autobiography of Binodini Dasi (also known as Nati Binodini), a pioneering actress of the Bengali stage in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She was a protégé of the famous playwright Girish Chandra Ghosh and was instrumental in the success of the Star Theatre in Calcutta.
The autobiography was serialized and published in parts between 1910 and 1913, with later reflections appearing up until the 1930s. It is considered a significant literary work as it provides a rare first-person account of the life, struggles, and social marginalization of professional actresses in colonial Bengal. The other options are incorrect: Girish Chandra Ghosh was her mentor; Rabindranath Tagore was a contemporary literary figure; and M.G. Ranade was a social reformer and scholar from Maharashtra.
