“Gitanjali” of Rabindranath Tagore: With Critical Evaluations, which was originally published with the same title and content in 2006, depicts Tagore’s spiritual journey towards the Supreme Being. It is a collection of devotional songs in which he offers his prayer to God. But the religious fervour of these songs never affects the poetic beauty. It appeals to the readers with its oceanic depth expressed in simplicity, optimism and spiritual affirmation, richness and variety, humanization of the divine, use of domestic image and symbols. The relationship between the Supreme Being and human being is shown. This book is a modest endeavour to evaluate the complete poems. Nature, common people, music, humanity, sympathy and sense-perceptions are the core feelings of these poems. Tagore uses a wide range of vivid and picturesque image and symbols, which are drawn from everyday life as well as from age-old myths. Several symbols like light, boat, cloud, pitcher, flute, palace, flowers, river, star, sky recur in his songs. These natural objects are used to convey deeper spiritual truth.
The present anthology Indian English Poetry: A Critical Evaluation is an endeavour to shed some light on some major Indian English poets. It combines and discusses poets of two generations. From older generation of poets like Henry Derozio, Toru Dutt, Rabindranath Tagore to younger generation of poets like Nissim Ezekiel, Jayanta Mahapatra, Eunice de Souza, Gieve Patel, Kamala Das and many others, all have critically been studied in this anthology. Along with a brief and critical introduction about the origin and development of Indian English poetry, the anthology also covers an interview with modern Indian poet Keki N. Daruwalla. The anthology will be helpful to provide study materials for both students and teachers alike.
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel This biography of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel is a comprehensive and vivid narration of his unique contribution to Mahatma Gandhi's struggle for India's freedom (1920-47). Without his support, Mahatma Gandhi admitted, his satyagrahas wouldn't have had the same success. It was he who built the party machine through the imposition of strict discipline and by giving it a mass base, and as party boss supervised and directed the functioning of the Congress ministries post-1937 provincial elections. Patel's post-1945 role concerned India's freedom, and also marked the end of his being Gandhi's blind follower. Disillusioned with his own party in the failure of the Cabinet mission parleys, he negotiated directly with Cripps and helped the Congress form the Interim government He wanted to keep Jinnah out in the cold and suffer in his isolation. The book discusses his failure, rather than of the party, with Wavell's maneuvering in getting the Muslim League into the Cabinet as an equal with the congress. With that Jinnah conducted his fight from within. Realizing that united India had become an impossibility and the country faced chaos and total disintegration, Patel rose above all considerations to save and consolidate what would be left of India after Partition. This he achieved through administrative unity by forming the IAS on an all-India basis, and the country's unity through the integration of the Princely States. This book returns to the earlier two decades to show the unity of Patel's thinking and actions. The history of the Gandhian era cannot be complete and properly understood unless Patel is read and appreciated for what he did and achieved for India.

Whitman's famous poem, accompanied by linoleum-cut illustrations, depicts people at work all over an earlier America.
Widely regarded as one of the most important figures in Indian (and more specifically Bengali) literary history, Rabindranath Tagore was the first Indian—indeed, the first person outside Europe—to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, largely in recognition of his “spiritual offering of songs,” Gitanjali. Tagore himself translated the poems from the original Bengali, taking many liberties in the process. His English translation is rightly recognized as a work distinct from the Bengali original, consisting of major revisions, many elisions, and many poems originally published in other collections. Tagore’s lyrical simplicity, vivid imagery, and themes of nature, spirituality, death, and transcendence combine to produce a truly unique, powerfully moving work of thoughtful beauty. For many who read it, Tagore’s words in Song XCVI ring true: “What I have seen is unsurpassable. I have tasted of the hidden honey of this lotus that expands on the ocean of light, and thus I am blessed.” This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
Written by the most famous Bengali poet, philosopher, social reformer, and dramatist who came into international prominence when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1913. For the Bengali public, Tagore has been, and remains, an altogether exceptional literary figure, towering over all others. His poems, songs, novels, short stories, critical essays, and other writings have vastly enriched the cultural environment in which hundreds of millions of people live in the Bengali-speaking world, whether in Bangladesh or in India. - Amartya Sen, Harvard University and Nobel Prize in Economics in 1998 Formerly issued in a limited edition by the India Society in 1912.
