  • Rabindranath Tagore's Model of Rural Reconstruction: a Review
    [ VOLUME 5 I ISSUE 4 I OCT.– DEC. 2018] E ISSN 2348 –1269, PRINT ISSN 2349-5138 Rabindranath Tagore’s Model of Rural Reconstruction: A review Dr. Madhumita Chattopadhyay Assistant Professor in English, B.Ed. Department, Gobardanga Hindu College (affiliated to West Bengal State University), P.O. Khantura, Dist- 24 Parganas North, West Bengal, PIN – 743273. Received: July 07, 2018 Accepted: August 17, 2018 ABSTRACT Rabindranath Tagore’s unique venture on rural reconstruction at Silaidaha-Patisar and at Sriniketan was a pioneering work carried out by him with the motto of the wholesome development of the community life of village people through education, training, healthcare, sanitation, modern and scientific agricultural production, revival of traditional arts and crafts and organizing fairs and festivities in daily life. He believed that through self-help, self-initiation and self-reliance, village people will be able to help each other in their cooperative living and become able to prepare the ground work for building the nation as an independent country in the true sense. His model of rural reconstruction is the torch-bearer of so many projects in independent India. His principles associated with this programme are still relevant in the present day world, but is not out of criticism. The need is to make critical analysis and throw new lights on this esteemed model so that new programmes can be undertaken based on this to achieve ‘life in its completeness’ among rural population in India. Keywords: Rural reconstruction, cooperative effort, community development. Introduction Rathindranath Tagore once said, his father was “a poet who was an indefatigable man of action” and “his greatest poem is the life he has lived”.

South Asia has too many colorful nations and they owned different culture from the very beginning. Folk music is like a treasure of South Asian culture. According to history, South Asian people established themselves here as a nation (Arya) before five thousand years from today and started to live with native people. So a perfect mixture of two ancient nations and their culture produced a new South Asia. This paper explores the massive changes that happened to South Asian folk music which creates several ways to correspond to their root and how they are different from each other. After many natural disasters and political changes, South Asian people faced many socio-economic conditions but there was the only way to share their feelings. They articulated their sorrows, happiness, wishes, prayers, and love with music, celebrated social and religious festivals all the way through music. As a result, bunches of folk music are being created with different lyric and tune in every corner of South Asia.

  • Family, School and Nation
    Family, School and Nation This book recovers the voice of child protagonists across children’s and adult literature in Bengali. It scans literary representations of aberrant child- hood as mediated by the institutions of family and school and the project of nation-building in India in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The author discusses ideals of childhood demeanour; locates dissident children who legitimately champion, demand and fight for their rights; examines the child protagonist’s confrontations with parents at home, with teachers at school and their running away from home and school; and inves- tigates the child protagonist’s involvement in social and national causes. Using a comparative framework, the work effectively showcases the child’s growing refusal to comply as a legacy and an innovative departure from analogous portrayals in English literature. It further reviews how such childhood rebellion gets contained and re-assimilated within a predomi- nantly cautious, middle-class, adult worldview. This book will deeply interest researchers and scholars of literature, espe- cially Bengali literature of the renaissance, modern Indian history, cultural studies and sociology.

The society started roaring against Hindu inhuman customs as sati, polygamy, child marriage and the caste system. As a result, the brutal Sati was abolished. 'Widow Remarriage Act' was formulated. In the second half of the nineteenth century, due to the spread of institutional education for women, progressive thinking spread among women. Women's position in society and women's rights highlighted through stories, novels, plays, essays and autobiographies. After taking higher education, someone went to study medicine in Europe, someone became the Principal of the college, and someone joined other jobs. Bengali Theatre was influenced by these social movements of women. In Bengali theater, situation of women's misery were also presented. Some playwright quizzed against women emancipation movement. Actresses started perform in Bengali Theatre. The women wrote many plays. So nineteenth century was the century of emancipation movement. In this century women became aware their own individuality. The women awakening in this nineteenth century shows an example of revolutionary feminism.

  • Similarities of Thoughts of Rabindranath Tagore with Some English Classical Poets
    Anudhyan An International Journal of Social Sciences (AIJSS) Similarities of thoughts of Rabindranath Tagore with some English Classical Poets Dr. Tapati Dasgupta Abstract Rabindranath Tagore, who was born in the late half of the 19thcentury was brought up with a cultural heritage which was something novel in the Jorasanko Tagore family of Calcutta. Though Rabindranath did not go in for conventional learning because he had a tremendous dislike for it, he developed profound knowledge on both eastern and western philosophy, science, literature and music by his own initiative and endeavour. Tagore was a man who could blend the ideas of East and West in a perfect harmony. England was all along rich in her literary pursuits and her cultural stage was ornamented with some great poets who can be described as Classical poets.The reign of Queen Elizabeth I is known as the Elizabethan period (1553-1603) in England and in this period poets like William Shakespeare (1564-1616) and Milton stood at the pinnacle of fame. The Elizabethan period was followed by the Victorian period, which started with the reign of Queen Victoria and this period lasted from 1837- 1901. The Victorian period was fortunate enough to produce a bunch of well-known romantic poets like Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892), P.B. Shelley (1792-1822), William Wordsworth(1770-1850), John Keats (1795-1821), Robert Browning and others. They are much well-known as Romantic poets. Those who directly fell under the Victorian period were William Wordsworth andAlfred Tennyson.Rabindranath, one of the pioneering personalities of Bengal Renaissance had an immense reading of English literature; but he reached the zenith of his fame through his own creative virtues which were purely his own.
