Critical Analysis Of Gitanjali By Rabindranath Tagore

“Island Man” and “Half Caste” are two poems written by John Agard and Grace Nichols. Even though they have different purposes, structure and language, both present the theme of identity. In this essay I am going to be comparing characteristics such as purpose, theme, structure, emotions and poetic techniques in analysing these two texts.

Mahasweta Devi’s short story, “Giribala,” is about the life of Giribala, a girl of Talsana village located in India. Born into a caste in a time when it was still customary to pay a bride-price, Giri is sold to Aulchand by her father. From this point on, we see a series of unfortunate, tragic events that take place in Giri’s life as a result of the circumstances surrounding Giri’s life. There are many issues in Giri’s life in India that Devi highlights to readers. First, the economic instability of the village leads to an extremely poor quality of life for the lower, working classes. Next, the cruel role of women determined by men in society is to either satisfy the sexual desires of men or to reproduce offspring who can work or be sold off to marriages. There are also other social norms and beliefs which discriminate against women that will be discussed.

Indian literature written in English language has its base n the myth that has been passed on from generations. Like many Indian English writers writing in English Girish Karnad is of no exception. In his writings the mythological aspects echo throughout. His plays like ‘Hayavadana’, ‘The Fire and The Rplay hain’ and ‘Nagmandala’ are based on the myths but Karnad gives an approach to myth in a different way. His plays originate from the myths of Indian legends but in the course of the play hee insert some of the acts which make us rethink about depending on God, especially through the man-God encounter acts.

It goes without saying that Rabindranath Tagore is perhaps the most outstanding and the most widely-known among Indian poets. Tagore, we must remember, was not only apoet, he was also a novelist, a short story writer, a dramatist, a painter, a musician and a critic of distinction. He wrote a large majority of his poems originally in Bengali, and translated some of them into English, but it is also on record that he wrote a few poems originally in English. Tagore’s novels and short stories are rightly looked upon as social or sociological documents because what he seeks to give us through them is a picture of the contemporary human society. In spite of the element of romanticism that we get there we may describe them realistic in their own right.

“Generations to come, it may be”, Einstein once said about Gandhi, “will scarcely believe that such one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon earth.” Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, more commonly known as “Mahatma” (meaning “Great Soul”) was a spiritual leader of India during the Indian independence movement, who was born on 2 October 1869. He was the pioneer of Satyagraha – resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon ahimsa or total nonviolence – which led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is known as the Bapu (Father) and also referred as the father of nation in India.

Although Tagore is not as well known for his philosophies.
