One of the giants of Hindi literature, Jainendra introduced the 'psychological' in Hindi fiction. Questions of love, marriage and relationships occupy much of Jainendra's works, taking them into the realm of the internal and the intimate. In The Resignation, Jainendra tells the story of Mrinal, a young woman whose uncompromising idealism results in her family and society rejecting her completely. Almost seventy-five years after it was written, the story of Mrinal's struggle against stultifying social norms and her fierce individualism remain startlingly relevant.
