Abstract

After humans started to live in society, it is seen that various incidents and actions taking place in the society start bothering the human mind and feelings. Which invokes social consciousness among the common people. Improvement of human consciousness is the sign of an advanced society. Social disorders, different misconducts happening in society not only misguide the social interest but also pollute the social environment by awfully manipulating the minds and consciousness of a society. Even after those obstacles, socially responsible writers-artists stand as restless defenders for change of humanity provisions so that overall welfare and excellence of humanity takes place.

Because of social responsibilities of writers-artists, consciously or unconsciously their literatures reflect social sentiments. The reflections of social sentiments can be seen in Assamese literatures too. Mostly, reflection of social consciousness in Assamese Novels makes the readers aware of this matter. From the wide variations of Literature, I have choosen “An analytic study of the reflection of the social consciousness in the novel “Jibonor Batot” by Birinchi Kumar Boruah for our research work.
