About the Book

Srijaner Andhakar Bisarjan (Bengali Version) is a compelling critical study of Rabindranath Tagore’s renowned play Bisarjan, a dramatic masterpiece that examines the complex relationship between religion, power, authority, and humanity. Through a fresh and contemporary perspective, the book revisits the timeless conflicts embedded within the play and explores their continuing relevance in modern society.

The study focuses on the ideological and moral tensions that arise when religious authority becomes intertwined with political power. Through characters such as Govindamanikya, Jaysingha, and Raghupati, Bisarjan presents a powerful confrontation between compassion and fanaticism, human values and blind obedience, conscience and institutional control. The book raises important questions about whether the demand for sacrifice originates from divine will, personal ambition, or the unquestioning devotion of followers.

Drawing upon the various themes, symbols, and dramatic elements of the play, Hiren Chattopadhyay offers a thoughtful analysis that connects Rabindranath’s vision to contemporary social and political realities. The author demonstrates how the crises depicted in Bisarjan continue to resonate across generations, making the play a timeless reflection on human freedom, ethical responsibility, and the struggle against oppression. This volume is an important resource for students, researchers, theatre enthusiasts, and readers interested in Rabindranath Tagore’s dramatic literature and its enduring significance.
