About the Book

Tripurar Rajporibar o Rabindranath: Somporker Ekti Atinob Itihas by Shishir Kumar Singha offers a captivating insight into the lesser-known but deeply enriching relationship between Rabindranath Tagore and the royal family of Tripura. Based on meticulous historical research, this book unveils the multifaceted bond—marked by mutual admiration, intellectual exchange, and cultural collaboration—that developed between the Bard of Bengal and this princely state.

The narrative traverses beyond mere personal encounters to document the significant role that the Maharajas of Tripura played in supporting Tagore's literary and artistic vision. From generous patronage to moral support, the book reveals how Tripura’s monarchs stood by the Nobel Laureate during some of his most challenging and creative periods.

Through rare photographs and historical anecdotes, the book brings alive a chapter of Indian cultural history that has long remained in the shadows. Ideal for readers passionate about Tagore, royal patronage in colonial India, or Bengal's cultural renaissance, this work bridges two powerful worlds—poetry and royalty.

A scholarly yet accessible read, this book is a treasure trove for historians, Tagore enthusiasts, and cultural researchers alike.
