About the Book

"শেষ সংবাদে নিবেদিতা" (Shesh Sangbade Nibedita), edited by Gautam Bagchi, is a tribute to the life and legacy of Sister Nivedita, one of the most influential foreign women in India’s history. This book takes a unique approach by capturing the reflections and tributes published immediately after her death, which reveal her immense impact on both Indian society and beyond.

Sister Nivedita arrived in India during a time of immense turbulence, and her connection to the soul of India became her ultimate mission. Despite being a foreigner, her dedication to India’s cause, especially in the fields of education, culture, and social reform, is nothing short of remarkable. For over a century, her contributions have been discussed and analyzed, but this book brings fresh perspectives and unpublished information that make it a groundbreaking historical work.

In addition to the biographical sketches and tributes from both Indian and international figures, the book also includes an English translation of Rabindranath Tagore’s “Kabuliwala”, a story Nivedita translated into English, further highlighting her intellectual and cultural contributions to India.

This book not only honors Sister Nivedita's profound influence on Indian society but also serves as an important historical document, shedding light on the reverence she earned across the globe. An essential read for those interested in history, biography, and the profound impact of Sister Nivedita’s life and work.
