REFERENCE: 1 July 1997 Dear Mr. Sanyal, I am writing, belatedly, in reply to your letter of 8 February to the Secretary- General, with which you enclosed a selection of audio cassettes of renderings of the work of Rabindranath Tagore. The Secretary-General has asked me to thank you for sending these to him. As you can imagine, he has been extremely busy in the first months after his assumption of office, but I have been able to listen to your tapes on his behalf. Permit me to say how'much I admire your enterprise and commend you on your initiative. Tagore was a giant of our century and your idea is most original. I note your interest in disseminating your efforts more widely. You may wish to bring the tapes to the attention of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (7 place de Fontenoy, 75352 Paris 07-SP, France). If I might take the liberty of one comment on the cassettes, I think it is rather unfortunate that the English reader cannot even pronounce the title "Gitanjali" correctly. This detracts from the otherwise positive impression made by your high production standards. I hope you will take this as a constructive comment from a well-wisher. With best wishes, Yours sincerely, Shashi Tharoor xecutive Assistant to the Secretary-General Mr. Alok Sanyal CD40, Sector 1 Salt Lake City Calcutta 700 064 INDIA M1BHH Alok Sanyal ph. D.

Tagore's own translations (from Bengali into English) of one hundred and three lyrics from the book, Gitanjali, won for him the Nobel Prize for literature in 1913. Apart from the vast literary and art works Tagore composed about three thousand songs. I have produced the accompanying audio & video cassettes which contain recitations of Tagore's songs that I have rendered into English, French, Bengali, German, Spanish, Russian and other languages. The sound of music in different languages is very appealing for recreation, inspiration, solace and peace of mind of people of different countries. Such music can contribute greatly to world peace and general all around therapeutic help. I have also been successful in providing unique video cassettes on Tagore's songs. lyiay request you to examine the accompanying cassettes and materials and c^jp(||][^u^cate^j;^me your opinion of how this humble effort to disseminate this cultural treasure to mankind may be best accomplished; M (94* Sincerely ALOK SANYAL Attachments.

Box 248165 (305) 284-2433 December 13, 1983 Professor Alok Sanyal Department of Physics Jadavpur University 8/1, Badur Bagan Lane Calcutta-700 009 India Dear Professor Sanyal: I was very pleased to receive your letter of November 28 concerning the proposed "Exchange of Music". It seems to me that this is a bit of a positive way in which to more broadly disseminate Indian music. Certainly, the American layman's understanding of that music will be greatly enhanced by the fact that the music which you are proposing to send us will be sung in English translation. It should also open up new vistas of understanding on the part of our undergraduate students. One of our current projects is to design a graduate degree program in ethnomusicology. Because of our location this program will most likely specialize in musics of Latin American and Caribbean countries, however, it would be a mistake for us to limit our ethno- musicology offerings only to those countries. Thus in planning for the curriculum for that program we would most certainly include Indian music as a component. I suspect that the implementation of this degree will be two or three years hence. I will look forward very much to meeting Dr. Das and to the tapes and dies that you elect to send with him. Perhaps there are recordings of our performing ensembles here at the University of Miami that you would like for us to send you. William Hipp Dean WHislm A Private. Independent.

Thank you very much. I have enjoyed listening to it, and with your permission, will keep it on file for our various classes in Indian studies. We have little opportunity to hear Rabindra Sangit in Vancouver; our Bengali community is very small. We do not have an "Indian Letters and Music Wing". We do have a Department of Asian Studies, in which (along with Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Indonesian) we teach courses in Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi (alas, no Bengali!). There are two members of faculty who occasionally teach courses on Indian music: Dr. Alan Thrasher of the Department of Music, an ethnomusicologist who once studied Karnatic vocal music; and Dr. Kathryn Hansen of this Department, who teaches Hindi literature but is also a fine sitarist, having been a pupil of Nikhil Banerjee. Dr. Hansen is on study leave in Bombay this year; I am sure she will be interested in your cassette when she returns. Thank you, and I hope to meet you in Calcutta one day. Sincerely, L '/ K.E.

The first cassettes that you sent me were indeed of great interest to our university community, especially to the faculty members involved in the planification of Concordia University's upcoming South Asia Program. I would welcome the opportunity of receiving more of them. Regarding Concordia's interest in Bengali language and litterature courses and Indian Fine Arts, I feel that instruction in those subjects might provide a welcome addition to the curriculum of our aforementioned South Asia Program. I would appreciate receiving more information on your perceptions of how Concordia University and Jadavpur University could cooperate in order to realize that objective. Sincerely, Bruce Director CIAC 7141 Sherbrooke Street West Montreal, Quebec H4B 1R6 JADAVPUR UNIVERSITY CALCUTTA-700 032, INDIA Telephone I 72-4044 ( Exta, 13) Professor A. N. Basu DEAN, FACULTY OF SCIENCE February 18, 1993, The way Dr. Sanyal has prepared the cassettes which contain recitation • of the lyrics of Gitanjali in English and Bengali, is unique and pioneering and may be regarded as a kind of invention in this field. Worthy of note are the facts that firstly, the original Bengali lyrics are rich in rhyme and rhythm exude a charming melodiousness which would appeal to all, whether one follows Bengali or not, and which may not come through fully in a translation, and secondly, the English translations, too, are by none other than the poet himself and, so, must be seen as his own, original creation. These two features are almost unique to Gitanjali and so its presentation in both Bengali and English as Dr. Sanyal has done, is the best and most natural way of placing it before an audience that knows no Bengali. Not only that, in the process the richness of the Bengali language, and its music, are also portrayed through the cassettes. That Tagore himself was also the author of the English Gitanjali, though English was not his mother-tongue, which is unique in Nobel Prize history, is also brought home to the common people through 'Dr. Sanyal's cassettes. Dr. Sanyal's effort is, therefore, very correct and path-breaking too. The art and culture of the common people throughout the world would be enriched with this easy way of learning the great ideas and poems of Tagore, both in original Bengali and translated English. People of other countries and the people of other states of our own country, would also enjoy the richness of Tagore's original Bengali poems and the Bengali language with the help of such cassettes. Probably, no other Nobel Prize winning works have been presented in such a simple and popular way for the benefit of mankind. The recitations in Dr. Sanyal's cassettes are not pieces of mere mechanical rendering but rather a response of the heart to deep feelings evoked by the lyrics. Being spontaneous and natural expressions, they are true art. All art is somewhat subjective, being an individual's unique perception and response, and so I request that Dr. Sanyal's cassettes be judged from this point of view and not based on any preconceived criteria. We are, after all, considering artistic creations of great depth and so the best way would be to adopt a sympathetic approach with an open and free mind.

  • Rabindranath Tagore: a Social Thinker and an Activist a Review of Literature and a Bibliography Kumkum Chattopadhyay, Retd
    2018 Heritage Vol.-V Rabindranath Tagore: a Social Thinker and an Activist A Review of Literature and a Bibliography Kumkum Chattopadhyay, Retd. Associate Professor, Dept. of Political Science, Bethune College, Kolkata-6 Abstract: Rabindranath Tagore, although basically a poet, had a multifaceted personality. Among his various activities his sincerity as a social thinker and activist attract our attention. But this area is till now comparatively unexplored. Many scholars in this area have tried to study Tagore as a social thinker. But so far the findings are scattered and on the whole there is no comprehensive analysis in the strict sense of the term. Hence it is necessary to collect the different findings and to integrate and arrange them within a theoretical framework. This article is an attempt to make a review of literature of the existing books and to prepare a short but sharp bibliography to introduce the area. Key words: Rabindranath Tagore, society, social, political, history, education, Santiniketan, Visva-Bharati Rabindranath Tagore (1861 – 1941) was a prolific writer, a successful music composer, a painter, an actor, a drama director and what not. Besides these talents, he was also a social activist and contributed a lot to Indian social and political thought, although this area has not been very much explored till now. Tagore was emphatic upon society building. So he tried to develop all the component elements which were essential for developing the Indian society. He studied the history of India to follow the trend of its evolution. Next he prepared his programme of action – rural reconstruction and spread of education.

    Fifth All India Conference of China Studies Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan, December 15-16, 2012 REPORT Day One: 15 December 2012 Inaugural Session Chair: Professor Sushanta Duttagupta, Vice-Chancellor, Visva Bharati The Inaugural Session of the Fifth All India Conference of China Studies was held in Lipika Auditorium of Visva-Bharati. The session was chaired by Prof. Sushanta Dattagupta, Vice Chancellor of Visva-Bharati University.

Prof. Alka Acharya, Director, Institute of Chinese Studies (ICS), and Prof. Artatrana Nayak, Principal, Bhasa Bhavana, Visva-Bharati, greeted the participants and conveyed their wishes for a successful conference. In the Introductory Remarks, Prof. Monoranjan Mohanty, Chairperson, ICS, spoke about Tagore’s philosophy of the Visva Manava or the Universal Man and underscored Tagore’s vision that a holistic approach to music, science, knowledge and nature would lead the minds to a state of creative unity. He mentioned that Santiniketan was a pilgrimage to China scholars of India. Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore and Prof. Tan Yunshan conceived and built Cheena Bhavana as a repository of India-China civilizational interaction, and it is indeed the birthplace of China Studies in modern India. He hoped that the conference will begin an interactive phase between Cheena Bhavana and ICS, that will strengthen cooperation in the areas of cultural, historical, literary and classical studies. He further 1 stated that today China Studies in India faces new challenges that call for deeper understanding of both history and culture. Therefore, it is appropriate that the focal theme of the conference to be held here in Visva Bharati is history, historiography and reinterpreting history, as this was the mission of Tagore and Tan Yun-shan.
