Rabindranath Tagore's Kabuliwala Journal of Interdisciplinary Cycle Research ISSN NO: 0022-1945 Rabindranath Tagore’s Kabuliwala: An Exemplary Tribute to Filial Love S. Nancy Jaya MA English Kongu College of Arts and Science, Karur Mail: [email protected] Abstract Every living being were in need of emotional bond right from their birth. The first and foremost bond that we get in this world is familial bond; amidst of every relationship, filial love is something to be glorified, especially between father and daughter. This article endeavours to exhibit the outlook of filial love through the story of Tagore’s Kabuliwala. The relationship between the little girl Mini and her Afghan friend Rahman in Tagore’s Kabuliwala is the best prototype of filial love. Mini’s father loves Mini and condoned all her rumpus while he was in work. As the story progress we could sense the reason behind Rahman’s love for Mini. Rahman always saw Mini as a replica of his daughter, who is in Afghan and he meets her once in a year. His behavior towards mini shows his sehnsucht for filial love. Keywords: Filial love, sehnsucht, emotional pain, bond between a father and a daughter Literature is like a magic, it has the special quality of changing one’s life upside down. Literature never failed to gratify people, because it has various genres like Poetry, Prose, Short story, Drama and Fiction, etc. It is a lodestar for those who have the thirst for art and cognizance. Each country has its own literature that is the prodigious point to note about literature. Indian literature is a mixture of Indian and English. It is produced across the Indian sub-continents and begins with the collection of myths. It is considered as distinctive from other literature because of its Volume XII, Issue V, May/2020 Page No:1 Journal of Interdisciplinary Cycle Research ISSN NO: 0022-1945 characteristics. We can see enchanting descriptions of land, culture, tradition and religion in it. Indian literature is remarkable for many sacred works like Vedas, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Gitanjali, etc. No other literature can provoke emotion than the Indian literature, most importantly familial bonds. Rabindranath Tagore was hailed as Bhanu Singha Thakur, Gurudev, Kabiguru, Biswakabi, and The Bard of Bengal. Tagore wrote National Anthem for India and Bangladesh. His notable works are Gitanjali, Gora, The Postmaster, Shesher Kabita, Ghare Baire, Chokher Bali and Kabuliwala. The latter depicts the story of a filial love. Some of the works show his love and concern for children too. This article endeavours to exhibit the outlook of filial love through the story of Tagore’s Kabuliwala. Kabuliwala was one of the famous short stories of Tagore written in Bengali, published in 1892. It has various themes like filial love, comradeship, love, reliance, yearning and charity. It is about a story of an inquisitive girl Mini who used to raise lot of questions out of curiosity to her father and her relationship with her father and a Kabuliwala who is Rahman. The story projects filial love and provoke emotional pain to the readers especially those who are hankering for father and daughter bond. This short story is an admirable tribute to filial love. Firstly, we see the love between the narrator and Mini. The narrator is Mini's father. The second relationship that proves love and friendship is the relationship between Rahman and Mini. Thirdly Rahman’s relationship with his own daughter is an example of filial love. Even though we know a little about Rahman’s daughter, we can still conclude that their bond was really strong. The story touches our hearts when we are revealed about the love between Rahman and his daughter. Mini is a five year old little girl who is always inquisitive. While Mini’s mother found that her chatters irritating at times, her father loved it. She frequently raises ceaseless questions Volume XII, Issue V, May/2020 Page No:2 Journal of Interdisciplinary Cycle Research ISSN NO: 0022-1945 and before getting the answer, she will ask another question out of her inquisitiveness. One day Mini saw a Kabuliwala, suddenly sprang up and ran over to the window when he heard Mini’s calling ‘Kabuliwala O Kabuliwala’ then he came to the doorstep. On seeing his arrival to her doorsteps she ran inside as she frightened by the story of Kabuliwalla kidnapping children. He wants to see her, she came out with a fear and stands behind her father. Mini’s father bought some nuts and raisins from him. This meeting was the beginning of a strange friendship between Mini and Kabuliwala. Soon afterwards he became the frequent visitor to mini consequently they become friends and they shared many old jokes for which they laughed long and loud. The time came for the Kabuliwala, whose name was Rahman, to make his periodical visit to his native country. He began collecting debts in preparation for it. But one morning there was a commotion in the street, and Mini’s father was surprised to see Rahman handcuffed, with blood all over his clothes, being led away by two policemen. On enquiry he was told that the man had stabbed a person who had denied buying a shawl from him. With all her innocence Mini came to Kabuliwala and asked him if he was going to his father-in-laws house. He laughed and said he was. Rahman was sentenced to jail for seven years. As the days sped by, everyone even Mini forgot her Kabuliwala. Months lengthened to years Mini grew into women. Her parents arranged a wedding of her on Puja holidays. The house was filled with the air of wedding stuffs. There came Kabuliwala who was released from the jail last evening. Mini’s father was shocked to see his appearance. He longs to meet Mini, at first he was rejected but then he was allowed to meet her. Rahman told that he too have daughter in distant who is in same age of Mini. As a proof he showed him a dirty piece of paper with the imprint of a child’s hand on it. Mini stood before him, he asked her if she was going to her father-in-law’s house. Now she only bowed her head with coyness. Volume XII, Issue V, May/2020 Page No:3 Journal of Interdisciplinary Cycle Research ISSN NO: 0022-1945 In the very beginning of the story itself Tagore limns a bond between daughter and father. Mini’s father was a writer, basically writers need a tranquility while they writing but often Mini goes to his room creates annoyance and poses meaningless questions but her father condone all her rumpus activities which is the special quality that every father have exclusively for daughters and he finds pleasure in chatting with Mini and in her inquisitiveness. This shows his love for Mini and she too always attached with her father than mother. When Mini saw the Kabuliwala for the first time, she was afraid of him but he wants to meet her, “And where is the little girl sir?” The way he asked Mini’s father to meet her shows his fatherly longing. Later, Mini attached with Kabuliwala and their comradeship grew smoothly. Rahman, the Kabuliwala gives her nuts and raisins out of cost, he treats Mini as his own daughter. Mini’s father had a close scrutiny on her activities as all the fathers do. “I saw my daughter sitting on a bench in front of the door, nattering unrestrainedly; and the Kabuliwala was at her feet, listening grinning broadly, and from time to time making comments in his hybrid sort of Bengali. In all her five years of life, Mini had never found so patient a listener apart from her father.” When Rahman was in prison everyone forgets him even Mini. He was released from jail just a day before Mini’s wedding. He pleased Mini’s father to meet her once but he refused to allow him. He wants to give some fruits and nuts to Mini. When her father is about to give him money he says, “Keep me in you recollection. Do not offer me money! You have a little girl, I too have a one like her in my own home. I think of her and bring fruits to your child, not to make a profit for myself.” He was despair and told him that he too have daughter in Mini’s age as a proof he showed a dirty piece of paper charcoal imprint of a child’s hand on it. He haven’t meet her for a long period. Being a father he could sense the emotional pain of Rahman and let him to Volume XII, Issue V, May/2020 Page No:4 Journal of Interdisciplinary Cycle Research ISSN NO: 0022-1945 meet Mini. When he saw her as a grown girl he was nonplussed to express his ecstasy. Rahman’s thought moved to Afghan and he was yearning to see his daughter. Mini’s father felt pity for the man and gave him some money which aids him to go to his native land. This meant curtailing some of the wedding expenses. But the father felt that it would be a blessing since it had helped a poor father to see his child again after a long and sad separation. At the end of the story, Tagore provokes the emotion by depicting the filial love through father’s concern for another father who is hankering to see his daughter as he comprehended the pain of the father and daughter separation.

  • Tagore: (泰戈尔) a Case Study of His Visit to China in 1924
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 19, Issue 3, Ver. V (Mar. 2014), PP 28-35 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Tagore: (泰戈尔) A Case study of his visit to China in 1924 Sourabh Chatterjee (Mody University of Science and Technology, India) Abstract: In 1923, Beijing Lecture Association, Jiangxueshe (讲学社) invited Rabindranath Tagore to deliver a series of lecturers. Established in September 1920, Jiangxueshe was one of the many globally acclaimed institutions that mushroomed in China in the wake of the May Fourth Movement. The main objective of this institution was to invite foreign scholars and celebrities to arrange lectures by them for Chinese intellectuals. They thought it will help the Chinese intellects to be prospers in many aspects, which will enrich their country. Every year, they used to invite the most respected global figures, research scholars, scientists, and noble laureates to deliver their valuable speeches and sermons. Before Rabindranath, the Association invited some dignified global figures like John Dewey (1859-1952), Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) and Hans Driesch (1862- 1941). Most of them were not able to move them in a great way. Anyway, as the Chinese association felt that they were not receiving expected result after inviting so many global scholars, they finally decided to invite Rabindranath to their country. It is worthy to be mentioned here, some fervent critics and scholars like Das, Sun and Hay have averred that Tagore’s visit to China created two fold reactions among the people of China. Tagore’s visit to China received both friendly and hostile reactions from them.

  • A Hundred Years of Tagore in Finland
    Cracow Indological Studies vol. XVII (2015) 10.12797/CIS.17.2015.17.08 Klaus Karttunen [email protected] (University of Helsinki) A Hundred Years of Tagore in Finland Summary: The reception of Rabindranath Tagore in Finland, starting from newspa- per articles in 1913. Finnish translations of his works (19 volumes in 1913–2013, some in several editions) listed and commented upon. Tagore’s plays in theatre, radio and TV, music composed on Tagore’s poems. Tagore’s poem (Apaghat 1929) commenting upon the Finnish Winter War. KEYWORDS: Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali Literature, Indian English Literature, Fin nish Literature. In Finland as well as elsewhere in the West, the knowledge of Indian literature was restricted to a few Sanskrit classics until the second decade of the 20th century. The Nobel Prize in Literature given to Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) in 1913 changed this at once. To some extent, the importance of Tagore had been noted even before—the Swedish Nobel Committee did not get his name out of nowhere.1 Tagore belonged to a renowned Bengali family and some echoes of this family had even been heard in Finland. As early as the 1840s, 1 The first version of this paper was read at the International Tagore Conference in Halle (Saale), Germany, August 2–3, 2012. My sincere thanks are due to Hannele Pohjanmies, the translator of Tagore’s poetry, who has also traced many details about the history of the poet in Finland. With her kind permission, I have used this material, supplementing it from newspaper archives and from my own knowledge.
