Book Description:

ঐতিহ্য আধুনিকতা ও রবীন্দ্রনাথ (Oitijhya Adhunikata O Rabindranath) by Subhash Chandra Bandopadhyay is a profound exploration of Rabindranath Tagore's work, emphasizing his unique ability to blend tradition with modernity. Bandopadhyay, a prominent scholar of folk culture, re-examines Rabindranath's relationship with two major strands of tradition: oral (folk) and classical (written). The author presents Rabindranath as a figure who deeply respected both these traditions, assimilating them into his literature.

In this book, Bandopadhyay highlights how Rabindranath, through his works, gave new life to these traditions by integrating them with modern thought and sensibilities. This unique combination brought forth a new dimension to Bengali literature, positioning Rabindranath not just as a poet but as a thinker who redefined the cultural landscape of his time.

The author examines how Rabindranath's writings exhibit the synthesis of modern ideas with the rich cultural heritage of Bengal, making his works timeless. In ঐতিহ্য আধুনিকতা ও রবীন্দ্রনাথ, Bandopadhyay presents a refreshing perspective on Rabindranath Tagore's genius, showcasing him as a modern thinker rooted in tradition.
