  • Where the Mind Is Without Fear” Lecture by Bindu Gulati Lecturer English Bindu [email protected] 9872463799 About the Poet
    “Where the Mind is Without Fear” Lecture by Bindu Gulati Lecturer English Bindu [email protected] 9872463799 About the Poet Rabindranath Tagore is to Indians what Shakespeare is to the English. He founded Shanti Niketan which promoted naturalistic philosophy of teaching. Kabuliwala, Geetanjali, Gora are few of his famous works. He won Nobel Prize for Literature for his work “Geetanjali”. Where the Mind is Without Fear Introduction The poet draws a picture of free India. He dreamt of a country with no boundaries. This poem is his idealistic dream about India . It is self explanatory. Tagore prays for the welfare of the country. Poem Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection ; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit ; Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever- widening thought and action…….. Into the heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. EXPLANATION WITH REFERENCE TO THE CONTEXT Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection . Word meanings 1. Fragments- pieces 2. Head is held high- self respect 3.

  • The Language of Gitanjali: the Paradoxical Matrix Dr Sukriti Ghosal Principal MUC Women’S College Burdwan, West Bengal India
    www.the-criterion.com The Criterion: An International Journal in English ISSN 0976-8165 The Language of Gitanjali: the Paradoxical Matrix Dr Sukriti Ghosal Principal MUC Women’s College Burdwan, West Bengal India In his essay the ‘The Imagination’ I. A. Richards points out that in a poem impulses are organized by a poet in two ways -- by exclusion and by inclusion. In the structure of poems where impulses are organized by inclusion one comes across a unique ‘equilibrium of opposed impulses’ (197), a gift of the poetic imagination. Paradox is one of the verbal manifestations of this singular balance of heterogeneous impulses. As ordinary language is generally marked by what Shklovsky calls habitualization (12), the contradiction inherent in a paradox belies our expectations and comes to us at first as a shock. But as we probe deeper and look at the expression from a new angle, the familiar semantic horizon of the words used gets extended resolving in the process all apparent contradictions. This is what Cleanth Brooks theorizes as the ‘disruptive’ function of the language of literature: The tendency of science is necessarily to stabilize terms, to freeze them into fixed denotations; the poet’s tendency is by contrast disruptive. The terms are continually modifying each other, and thus violating their dictionary meanings. (9) When Eliot writes ‘April is the cruellest month’(51) we feel bewildered because the line rudely shakes all positive bliss and grace associated with the first month of the spring. Gradually as we take into account the story of the Fisher King of the fertility myth, we discover the truth embedded in the paradox.

  • 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.

  • Locating and Collating Translated Locating and Collating Translated
    Locating and Collating Translated Short Stories of Rabindranath Tagore SWATI DATTA Abstract Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) has been a seminal figure of the Indian literary and cultural scene. His vast and versatile literary contribution includes a large number of short stories that are highly reflective of the sociocultural climate of his times and yet convey ideas and feelings that are perennially relevant to a humanitarian society. Interestingly, the translation world testifies to a history of over one hundred years of English translation of Tagore's Bengali short stories. The paper concentrates on this significant body of translated literature and bases itself primarily on the source text of Galpaguchchha , which is a collection of ninety short stories composed by Tagore. The short stories of Rabindranath are a rich source of cross- cultural transmission. That the stories have been translated into English for more than a century now and the translation activity in this sphere still continues, is a phenomenon which merits serious reflection. Keeping in view the complexities of linguistic and cultural transference, the paper discusses the location of this translated literature and attempts a collation of various target language texts. This has been done by analyzing the nature of the stories selected for Translation Today Vol. 2 No. 1 Mar. 2005 © CIIL 2005 Swati Datta 197 trnnslation together with the probable reasons for the same and by presenting a comparative study of portions of some of the translations to highlight the translational complexities and nuances. The task to locate and collate the translated short stories, which belong to both the pre- and post-independent years of Indian history, naturally takes into account the complications that develop out of colonial and post-colonial situations.

  • Tagore's Song Offerings: a Study on Beauty and Eternity
    Everant.in/index.php/sshj Survey Report Social Science and Humanities Journal Tagore’s Song Offerings: A Study on Beauty and Eternity Dr. Tinni Dutta Lecturer, Department of Psychology , Asutosh College Kolkata , India. ABSTRACT Gitanjali written by Rabindranath Tagore (and the English translation of the Corresponding Author: Bengali poems in it, written in 1921) was awarded the Novel Prize in 1913. He Dr. Tinni Dutta called it Song Offerings. Some of the songs were taken from „Naivedya‟, „Kheya‟, „Gitimalya‟ and other selections of his poem. That is, the Supreme Being is complete only together with the soul of the devetee. He makes the mere mortal infinite and chooses to do so for His own sake, this could be just could be a faint echo of the AdvaitaPhilosophy.Tagore‟s songs in Gitanjali express the distinctive method of philosophy…The poet is nothing more than a flute (merely a reed) which plays His timeless melodies . His heart overflows with happiness at His touch that is intangible Tagore‟s song in Gitanjali are analyzed in this ways - content analysis and dynamic analysis. Methodology of his present study were corroborated with earlier findings: Halder (1918), Basu (1988), Sanyal (1992) Dutta (2002).In conclusion it could be stated that Tagore‟s songs in Gitanjali are intermingled with beauty and eternity.A frequently used theme in Tagore‟s poetry, is repeated in the song,„Tumiaamaydekechhilechhutir‟„When the day of fulfillment came I knew nothing for I was absent –minded‟, He mourns the loss. This strain of thinking is found also in an exquisite poem written in old age.

  • PAPER VI UNIT I Non-Fictional Prose—General
    PAPER VI UNIT I Non-fictional Prose—General Introduction, Joseph Addison’s The Spectator Papers: The Uses of the Spectator, The Spectator’s Account of Himself, Of the Spectator 1.1. Introduction: Eighteenth Century English Prose The eighteenth century was a great period for English prose, though not for English poetry. Matthew Arnold called it an "age of prose and reason," implying thereby that no good poetry was written in this century, and that, prose dominated the literary realm. Much of the poetry of the age is prosaic, if not altogether prose-rhymed prose. Verse was used by many poets of the age for purposes which could be realized, or realized better, through prose. Our view is that the eighteenth century was not altogether barren of real poetry. Even then, it is better known for the galaxy of brilliant prose writers that it threw up. In this century there was a remarkable proliferation of practical interests which could best be expressed in a new kind of prose-pliant and of a work a day kind capable of rising to every occasion. This prose was simple and modern, having nothing of the baroque or Ciceronian colour of the prose of the seventeenth-century writers like Milton and Sir Thomas Browne. Practicality and reason ruled supreme in prose and determined its style. It is really strange that in this period the language of prose was becoming simpler and more easily comprehensible, but, on the other hand, the language of poetry was being conventionalized into that artificial "poetic diction" which at the end of the century was so severely condemned by Wordsworth as "gaudy and inane phraseology." 1.2.

  • 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.

  • The Character of Bimala in Tagore's the Home and the World Bimala Is
    The character of Bimala in Tagore’s The Home and the World Bimala is a rare portrayal of womanhood by Rabindranath Tagore because unlike the other female characters in Indian literature, there are two sides of Bimala. She is obligated to serve her husband and take care of the household. Yet, she is also willing to overstep these boundaries to speak out for her people. This fact is what makes her a positive representation of women in The Home and the World. Bimala in Tagore’s The Home and the World is perhaps the liveliest character of the story. She is the centre of action as well as attraction of the novel. She emblematizes love amid the fire and fury of politics, and her psychological intricacy contributes much in making Tagore's novel an interesting study. Tagore's Bimala is not a paragon of beauty. She herself admits in the course of the novel that, she had a dark complexion and lacked physical beauty. Yet she was fortunate enough to get married into the Zamindar's house. Bimala was married to Nikhil because of some good astrological signs in her and it was predicted that she would turn out to be an ideal wife. Truly Bimala's conjugal life with Nikhil was happy and blissful. She was fortunate too, to have an ideal, loving husband who unlike his brothers was not authoritarian. She could have from Nikhil not only sincere love but earnest help to make herself a cultivated, advanced modern woman. Arrangements were made for her English training under one European woman, Miss Gilby, and that was quite surprising in an old, conservative family.
