Raja o rani by rabindranath tagore summary

Rabindranath Tagore symbolizes the true spirit of Indian thought. He being a philosopher, novelist, poet, painter, dramatist as well as an educator exhibited the problems of society through his dramatic plays and acted as a social reformer. India is well known for its legends, myths, folklores and Tagore brilliantly portrays the same through his drama. Myth is “one story in a mythology-a system of hereditary stories of ancient origin which were once believed to be true by a particular cultural group, which served to explain why the world is as it is and things happen as they do, to provide a rationale for social customs and observances and to establish the sanctions for rules by which people conduct their lives. If the protagonist is a human being rather than a supernatural being, the traditional story is called legend.” (Abrams 170) whereas folklore “is a collective name applied to verbal compositions, social rituals and sayings handed down mostly by word of mouth” (Abrams 100). In the contemporary times man is looking for his roots, values and his quest leads them to folklores, myths and legends. It serves as a beacon not only to the present generation but for future generations as well. It also promotes strong sense of national identity and preserves the history of rituals, practices, culture, important places and persons.

The Bengali literature gained momentum in the 19th century. The Bengali Pandits of Fort William College did the tedious work of translating the text books in Bengali to help teach the British some Indian languages including Bengali. This work played a role in the background in the evolution of Bengali prose. This era also saw a rise in new literary publications, magazines and newspapers. A number of educational institutes also appeared all over the region. All these developments helped to nurture and advance the modern Bengali literary movement.

Rabindranath Tagore is considered as "sui generic" in Like many other playwrights/dramatists he had an early fascination for the theatre and had acted before he wrote his first play at the age of twenty. The ancestral home of the Tagores at Jorasanko in north Kolkata had already been humming with artistic and literary activities when Rabindranath was born in 1861. Rabindranath's first stage appearance was in 1877 in a family production of a play by his elder brother, It was staged before an invited audience which included many eminent persons like His first play Valmiki Pratibha was written in 1881. The story is expressed through a string of songs. A certain amount of dramatic conflict is there but it gets submerged in the music and the songs. Much later, when he had settled down at Santiniketan, he wrote a cycle of plays like Rituranga, Basanta, Phalguni and Sesh Barshan celebrating the seasons with an assemblage of songs loosely held together by the thinnest of dramatic threads. Some of his major dance dramas are - Chandalika, Tasher Desh, Chitrangada and Shyama- were written in the thirties when Tagore was past seventy. The dramatic element in them is considerable but the form which he evolved to expound the dramatic themes is a compound of dances, mime, music and choreography. They have their unique appeal but, like the musical and operatic plays, they have been the preserve of singing and dancing troupes and have had little influence on Bengali theatre. Tagore's reput...
