Bengali novels occupy a major part of Bengali literature.
 Though the first Bengali novel was "Karuna O Phulmonir Bibaran" (1852), the Bengali novel actually started its journey with "Durgeshnandini" written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay in 1865.
 According to Ananda Sanker and Lila Ray, 'when the novel was introduced in Bengali in the middle of the 19th century, the form itself was new, the prose in which it was written was new, the secular tone was new in a country hitherto wholly dominated by religion, and the society in which and for which it was written was new’ (Page 168).
 But some great novelists like Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, Rabindranath Tagore, Manik Bandopadhyay, Tarashankar Bandopadhyay, Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay developed the newly introduced genre in such a way that ‘new’ changed into ‘matured’ through their works.
