ChitraART thou the god with the five darts, the Lord of Love?MadanaI am he who was the first born in the heart of the Creator. Ibind in bonds of pain and bliss the lives of men and women!ChitraI know, I know what that pain is and those bonds.-And who artthou, my lord?VasantaI am his friend-Vasanta-the King of the Seasons. Death anddecrepitude would wear the world to the bone but that I followthem and constantly attack them. I am Eternal Youth.ChitraI bow to thee, Lord Vasanta.MadanaBut what stern vow is thine, fair stranger? Why dost thou witherthy fresh youth with penance and mortification? Such a sacrificeis not fit for the worship of love. Who art thou and what is thyprayer?

"e;Gora"e; is one of the finest masterpieces of Rabindranath Tagore. This novel is about a young man who is a traditional Hindu. He presents himself against the British colonist's culture. He takes the support of organized religion to oppose the British regime in India. The fine portrayal of the Bengal of 1900's is a major achievement for Tagore. The tussle between old and new is very thrilling, although Tagore's 'mild style' makes the proceedings 'soft and humble'. No doubts, 'Gora"e; is one of the finest literary pieces of Bangla literature and here we present an authentic English version of 'Gora'. A must-read for the elite thinkers.

Rabindranath Tagore FRAS (born Robindronath Thakur, 7 May 1861 - 7 August 1941), sobriquets Gurudev, was a Bengali poet, writer, composer, philosopher and painter from Bengal. He reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of the "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse" of Gitanjali, he became in 1913 the first non-European as well as the first lyricist to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Tagore's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal. He is sometimes referred to as "the Bard of Bengal".

'Nationalism' is based on the speeches of Tagore delivered during the Swadeshi movement in India and the First World War. While the nations of Europe were doing battle, Tagore urged his audiences in Japan and the United States to eschew political aggressiveness and cultural arrogance.
