A few days ago I suddenly saw a documentary made by Satyajit on Rabindranath Tagore on my phone. I found the documentary again and started watching from the beginning. Subject: Rabindranath. The documentary is directed by Satyajit. Rabindranath’s family history, Birth of Rabindranath Tagore, education, There is an explosion of sunshine and talent, Its creation and social role– Roy brings it up beautifully in the documentary. Dwarkanath Tagore was the uncle of Rabindranath Tagore. He was a mighty man.
Dwarkanath Tagore, a contemporary of Raja Rammohan Roy, built a commercial and industrial empire with British merchants and industrialists of the time. He seemed to be the earthly counterpart of Rammohan’s Bengali renaissance. Rabindranath’s father Maharshi Devendranath Tagore was a thinker and philosopher. He was more fascinated by the supernatural mysteries of the world than earthly thoughts. Rabindranath grew up in a mixture of Eastern and Western cultural environment from the time of Dwarkanath. Rabindranath went to England at a very young age and came in contact with the learned community there. Returning to India he entered the world of his creation. Bankim Chandra welcomed the young poet Rabindranath Tagore. English translation of Rabindranath Tagore’s poem on the mystery of the world and life by the famous English poet WB Yeats (WB Yeats) Heart touched. Wrote about poetry“A work of the highest culture, they still appear as common ground growths as grasses and rushes.” Rabindranath Tagore won the Nobel Prize for his work on Gitanjali. And that’s when he started getting respect one after another. Freedom movement started in India. At that time, Bengal was the focal point of India’s freedom movement. British to prevent this nationalist awakening ‘Divide and conquer‘ In 1905 he decided to divide Bengal between Hindus and Muslims. The entire Bengal erupted in anger against this communal division. Rabindranath Tagore was also strongly against it. The main mantra of the Bangal Bengal Movement was Rakhi Bandhan between Swadeshi and Hindu-Muslims.
Although later Rabindranath was distressed by the violence of some people involved in the movement, Because he never believed in violence. He distanced himself from the Bengal partition movement and concentrated on the development of the village farmers. Earlier, Devendranath founded Santiniketan in Birbhum district, which is full of unique natural beauty, to spread the Brahmin ideals. The child Rabindranath Tagore himself explored life and the world in harmony with nature. his came‘He wanted the Ra-daughter to grow up in the same environment. Get yours first‘He opened a home school there for the education of Ra-girls. It eventually became the Visva Bharati University. Santiniketan was the meeting place of East and West. Scholars from home and abroad used to come there. Rabindranath spent all his Nobel Prize money on Visva Bharati University.
Mahatma Gandhi returned to India at the same time. He called for a nationwide satyagraha movement against the infamous Rowlatt Act. Countless men and women of the country participated in the Satyagraha movement. It was then that the Jallianwala Bagh massacre took place in Amritsar under the leadership of General Dyer. This brutal killing made Rabindranath Tagore restless and depressed. He wrote a letter and the British gave it to him ‘Knighthood‘ Abandoned the title. Gandhi and Rabindranath’s relationship was of the same spirit. Gandhi to Rabindranath ‘world poet‘ title and told Rabindranath Gandhi ‘Mahatma‘ That’s it
Rabindranath traveled abroad. He went to China, He went to Japan, He went to Russia. He appreciated the efforts of the Russian government for poverty alleviation and education. He was already old. After the poet’s eightieth birthday, he was given a public reception in Calcutta. His body was collapsing. Towards the end of his life, Rabindranath became disillusioned with Europe. Frustration is normal. It was during World War II. It was Hitler’s time of violence and murder. Rabindranath’s last writings ‘The crisis of civilization‘His disillusionment with Western civilization is very clearly expressed in Once the Knowledge of Western Civilization., He was fascinated and inspired by dignity and humanism, But now at the end of his life he is making use of that civilization, He was emotionally devastated by his violence and imperious character. But Rabindranath did not lose the faith of the people. He believed in the new morning again‘B and should start with h‘In the east b– In the land of the rising sun in the east.
What a wonderful documentary about Rabindranath Tagore written by Satyajit! Sometimes music, picture, What a proud interpretation of Rabindranath Tagore’s life and work in moving picture and Satyajit’s melodious voice! It is truly extraordinary and unique to reflect Rabindranath Tagore’s vast life and work so perfectly in a documentary of only 52 minutes. ‘Remember though‘What an appeal!
But remember if you go away.
If old love is covered in new love net.
If I live near,
Can’t see, I’m like a shadow, I’m not there–
Remember though.
If the water comes to Ankhipata,
One day if the game stops at Madhurat,
Remember though.
One day if there is an obstacle at work in autumn– remember
If you remember
There is no splashing water in the corner of the eyes–
Remember though.
But what about the country where Rabindranath’s sun has risen today?
