on
Rabindranath Tagore: Many Hues, Many Shades
নানা রঙের রবীন্দ্রনাথ

January 06-07, 2012

Organised by

Department of Bengali and Department of English,

in Collaboration with

Vivekananda Mahavidyalaya, Haripal, Hooghly

Theme

No one would perhaps question that Tagore is a rare genius. In the choice of varied subjects as also in carrying out various experimentations in forms, he leaves the mark of his genius. We continue to proceed through our many interpretations of his works and the quest never ceases. We acknowledge that his creation is important and we also acknowledge that his persona is perhaps equally important. Different critics make different assessments of his works which further ensure the depth and multiplicity of his versatile talent. His creativity- manifest in many fields of cultural and social activity- can best be termed as multifarious and multidimensional. The many layered and multicoloured nature of his genius informs our seminar subtitle “Many Hues, Many Shades” as we honestly try to come to grips with this great Indian who continues to enlighten our search for physical and metaphysical significances of life and literature.
