1926
DevdasIn Saratchandra Chattopadhyay’s publication record, 1926 is the year associated with Pather Dabi. The date locates the novel between Grihadaha, listed for 1920, and Sesh Prasna, listed for 1929; the evidence establishes this chronology but does not specify further events tied to the year.
