Description
Rabindranath Tagore (1861 - 1941) would have been as popular as today for his short stories alone. Bengali short story as a form is greatly endebted to him for its shape and direction. Today we have selected rather a long short story, Rasmanir Chhele (to be podcast in two episodes) on his 158th birth anniversary. The unique attraction of this story is its heroine, Rasmani. She has two sons, her husband and her real son. She controls both of them, bbut with two completely different attitudes. She mollycoddles her husband because he was born and brought up in affluence. But towards her own son she is strict and vigilant, not ready to allow even a dream of luxury.
