Book Summary 

Chitrangada: And Other Dramatic Poems is an evocative collection of four dramatic poems—Chitrangada, Viday Abhishap, Gandharir Avedan, and Karna‑Kunti Samvad—all deeply rooted in episodes from the Mahabharata, written during Tagore’s most prolific period (circa 1892–1900). The centerpiece, Chitrangada, follows the warrior princess Chitrāngadā of Manipur, raised as a soldier and yearning for Arjuna’s love. It explores her inner conflict between outward beauty and authentic identity, ultimately portraying how true love flourishes through self-acceptance. Tagore renders these narratives in lyrical, rhythmic verse, employing traditional Bengali meters like the payar and rich enjambment to probe themes of beauty, love, honor, and dharma—the moral duty that anchors human relationships.

About the Author 

Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) was a visionary Bengali polymath—poet, playwright, novelist, composer, artist, philosopher, and educational reformer—who reshaped the landscape of modern Indian literature and the wider cultural imagination. In 1913, he became the first non-European to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, honored for “his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse” through his English translations, especially of Gitanjali. Tagore founded the experimental Visva-Bharati University at Shantiniketan to nurture holistic education blending Eastern and Western traditions, and famously renounced his British knighthood in protest of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, reflecting his deeply humanistic and socially conscious ethos
