Summary Î Rabindranath Tagore ✓ eBook, PDF or Kindle ePUB Also Asia’s first Nobel Laureate His contribution to India’s Freedom Movement is forever immortalized in Jana Gana Mana a song he wrote to inspire the nation This wonderfully insightful biography rich in anecdotes and little known facts brings alive this legendary figure to contemporary readers Monideepa Sahu vividly recount This is a wonderful biography that carries the reader through a whole sweep of history To tell the truth I have never been crazy about Tagore I love Rabindra Sangeet but have only read Gitanjali and a few of his stories including of course The Cabuliwallah Though I uite enjoyed them I felt he was a bit overrated perhaps because he was one of the few Indians writing in English in his time Monideepa Sahu s biography really brought home to me what an extraordinary person what a visionary he was and how he actually lived his vision instead of just sitting on his high horse and talking about it Maybe I was just too crass in my youth to discern all that in his writing must reread some time That s my personal take on this book Now to get to the intended audience given that this is a Puffin bookThe tone and language of this biography are just right for young readers being chatty and friendly never talking down or preachy The author skilfully recreates the atmosphere of Kolkata in the latter half of the 19th century and in Tagore s family home Thakurbari The simplicity and idealism of the family are touching and their broad minded patriotism is inspiring The setting up of the school at Santiniketan and later Vishwa Bharati seems such a natural and commonsensical process one wonders why education has become such a complicated business today One thing I found intriguing is the way the narrative tends to anticipate future events rather than following a strict chronology For instance when describing young Rabi s relationship with his sister in law Notun Bouthan in an early chapter we are told how she died young how deeply her death affected Rabi and how he dedicated many poems to her memory In due course in a much later chapter there is only a brief mention of Notun Bouthan committing suicide for reasons that were never known There is a lot of this going back and forth which gives the book its conversational style and somehow enriches it Monideepa if you are reading this I d love to hear what made you adopt this approachThe little anecdotes and snippets of additional information at the end of each chapter courtesy the History Bug and at the end of the book are sure to piue the interest of the readers and get them reading further an absolute boon to history teachers too Winston Churchill is forever Bogart immortalized Mao's Great Famine The History Of China's Most
