Description

Chitra, a Play in One Act by Rabindranath Tagore, is an Indian drama that follows the story of Chitra, a daring young woman who falls in love with Nalina. Together they plan to defy tradition and live together as women despite their parents' wishes. When their plans are discovered, they are shunned by society and abandoned by family which leaves the women to turn against one another.

Author

Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) wrote Gitanjali and made a world listen to Bengal. Poet, songwriter, playwright, and founder of Santiniketan, he was the first non-European Nobel laureate in literature. The English Gitanjali is a doorway; the Bengali work is a city. He composed songs that became national anthems and argued, politely and without pause, for a modern India that could still sing. Fourteen titles here.
