Description
Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), the frist Nobel Prize winner for literatue in India was a towering personality and a multifaceted genius who was poet, playwright, artist, novelist, short story wirter and a creative genius who with his rich experience and extensive travels made an indeliable impression on the people of Siam, Holland, Germany, Bulgaria, Iceland, Brazil, Poland, Norway, Vietnam, Czechoslovakia and so on. He was a great lover os sanskrit and had all admiration for Kalidasa and Meghadoota. Incact, Tagore has admitted that Meghadoota, the first Dootakavya in world literature had inspired him directly or indirectly during the course of his writings. Fifrty years ago Dr. V. Raghavan had brought out some of the Sanskrit writings on Tagore with the title "Samskruta Ravindram". My present endeavor is to throw some light on the recent Sanskrit writings on Tagore which is made available to us in the last 50 years and I sincerely hope that this would be a sequel to Raghavan's work.Â
