Gora (Hindi) by Rabindranath Tagore [Paperback]

In Rabindranath Tagore's classic novel Gora, the protagonist, originally nameless and unbound by caste or religion, is given the name Goramohan and is categorized as a Brahmin and Hindu due to societal pressures. Despite embodying the true spirit of Hinduism through his actions and beliefs, Gora is ultimately rejected by the religion he champions, deemed an outcaste and untouchable. The narrative explores Gora's struggles and the broader issues of identity, social caste, and the complexities within Indian religions, reflecting the tragic disconnect between individual merit and societal labels.
