Samparker Trikon by Surajit Dasgupta [Hardcover]

"Rabindranath is like a sun, a central point, around whom three distinguished personalities of India revolve—Mohandas Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Subhas Chandra Bose. Gandhi, slightly younger than Rabindranath, was like a brother. Initially, in their indirect acquaintance, Rabindranath was respectful, but in their early direct encounters, Rabindranath preferred distance. Over time, their relationship evolved through agreement and disagreement, and in the final phase, Rabindranath's reliance on Gandhi made their relationship particularly intriguing with its ups and downs. Jawaharlal's father and Rabindranath were of the same age, resulting in a father-son-like relationship between Rabindranath and Jawaharlal, eventually illuminated by mutual understanding after an initial period of unfamiliarity. Rabindranath's relationship with Subhas Chandra was initially marked by Subhas Chandra's indifference and detachment, but it later transformed into a dramatic one filled with devotion and respect. The stories of these three relationships are as fascinating as novels and enriched with collective information."
