Rabindranath er Katha by Hari Charan Bandyopadhyay [Hardcover]

Haricharan Bandopadhyay, the compiler of the "Bengali Lexicon," achieved immortality through his work. Rabindranath Tagore was his lifelong mentor and benefactor. Haricharan's paternal cousin worked at the Jorasanko Thakur Bari, which led to Haricharan receiving Tagore's affection from his student days. Tagore supported the poor yet talented Haricharan's education, and later made efforts to secure his education in various places. Eventually, Haricharan joined Tagore's established Brahmacharyashram at Shantiniketan as a professor. With Tagore's encouragement and direct assistance, Haricharan completed his greatest work, the compilation of the "Bengali Lexicon," over twelve years. The book "Rabindranather Katha" is a tribute to how Haricharan experienced and understood Rabindranath. In Haricharan's words, "The greatness of his advice, conversation, behavior, and events that I witnessed are the subjects of these essays." Alongside establishing Rabindranath's charming character, the book, enriched by discussions on Tagore's poetry and other writings, remains an everlasting treasure for readers.
