![]() ![]() In the end, I came to the conclusion that an unabridged biography of Tagore is required reading for every serious student of the Bengali language. ![]() As I was scanning Tagore’s biography to understand the historical context of the novel, it began to dawn on me what a perfect role-model Tagore was in his words, thoughts, actions, conduct, compassion, and spiritual detachment. My original intent was to write about Tagore’s long novel Gora. In this article, one may not expect to find much beyond a few random and off-the-cuff comments, fearlessly tossed in after skimming through selected portions of Tagore’s work. However, it took true brazenness from the present author, who is far from being a Tagore scholar, to contribute an article to that issue. The editor of Parabaas deserves applause for his exemplary courage in devoting an entire issue to Rabindranath Tagore. Translated from Bengali to English by Chhanda Chattopadhyay Bewtra ![]()
