'''''Nastanirh''''' (also ''Nashtanir'', [[Bengali language|Bengali]] নষ্টনীড় ''Nôshţoniŗh''; English: ''The Broken Nest'') is a [[1901 in literature|1901]] [[Bengali language|Bengali]] novella by [[Rabindranath Tagore]]. It is the basis for the noted 1964 film ''[[Charulata]]'', by [[Satyajit Ray]].

==Background==
According to Mary Lago in the introduction to the English translation of ''Nashtanir'' (translated by Lago and Supriya Sen), the novella was released three times: in 1901 in serial format, in 1909 as part of a special short story collection, and in 1926 as part of Tagore's standard collection of fiction (p. 9).

Scholarship indicates that this story might have been based upon the relationship between Tagore's elder brother [[Jyotirindranath Tagore|Jyotirindranath]]; his brother's wife, [[Kadambari Devi]] (who committed suicide shortly after Tagore's marriage); and Tagore (who spent a great deal of time with Kadambari, reading and writing poetry).<ref>Ketaki Kushari Dyson, trans., Rabindranath Tagore, ''I Won't Let You Go: Selected Poems'' (London: Penguin, 2011), 68. {{ISBN|9780143416142}}</ref>

==Plot summary==
''Nastanirh'' takes place in late 19th-century [[Bengal]] and explores the lives of the "[[Bhadralok]]", [[Bengali people|Bengalis]] of wealth who were part of the [[Bengal Renaissance]] and highly influenced by the [[Brahmo Samaj]]. Despite his liberal ideas, Bhupati is blind to the loneliness and dissatisfaction of his wife, Charu. It is only with the appearance of his cousin, Amal, who incites passionate feelings in Charu, that Bhupati realizes what he has lost.

==Film adaptations==
''[[Charulata]]'' (The Lonely Wife) is a 1964 film by [[Bengal]]i director [[Satyajit Ray]], featuring [[Soumitra Chatterjee]], [[Madhabi Mukherjee]] and [[Sailen Mukherjee]] and is based upon ''Nastanirh''. Another adaptation is ''[[Charuulata 2011]]'' by director [[Agnidev Chatterjee]].
