Devdas', as we know it, is the story of two childhood sweethearts who end up making mistakes that separate them forever, but what if a closer look at the timeless tale reveals something about an evil deep-seated within the society structure?

'Paro aur Chanda' successfully reveals how all characters in the story are somehow battling against Patriarchy- be it through the lack of heroic masculinity within the male protagonist, and his rebellion against his father, the epitome of patriarchy; or Paro's will to live her life through Devdas; or Chandramukhi's endless struggle against hundreds of patriarchal representations, before she ends up meeting Devdas.

Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, in the novel, believes that everyone will end up thinking about the tragedy of Devdas, and no one will bat an eye for Paro. Thus, 'Paro aur Chanda' tries to read the tale through the eyes of these very strong female characters, and why should it not, when Devdas himself says, I have two eyes; a pupil each in both. The image of Paro is etched in one, while the image of Chandramukhi is sheltered in the other.
