Ilustration Toward Books Gora
Vast in its scope and rich in thought Gora has been acclaimed as a monumental work in the history of Bengali fiction. The story reflects the social, political and religious scene in Bengal at the turn of the century. The forces that were operating in Bengal at that time were one of the intense nationalism and revival of ancient spiritual values and also that of liberal western thought. What makes Gora a great prose epic is not only its social content but also its brilliant story of self-searching, of resolution, of conflicts and of self discovery.Rating Epithetical Books Gora

Nationalism, especially religion based nationalism, is something that we are all forced to ponder over today in our current political environment. Thus, to read a story set in late 19th century Bengal written by Rabindranath Tagore more than a century ago of an India facing the same philosophical dilemma is an experience that generates both awe (for its timelessness) and sadness (for the fact that we are still stuck in the same place).The story of Gora, an educated but now orthodox Brahman youthPerfect 5!It is books like these which makes you think twice before rating 5 stars to any other book! Even in the Hindi translation the language was so beautiful, too bad I can't read Bengali :(Hindu Samaj and Brahmo Samaj are two sides of a coin, which is flipped hard... and what you see are clashing beliefs from both perspectives in terms of some very intense arguments.Add to it elements of love and sacrifice which spurns a dilemma on prioritising your religion, friend, patriotism, lover, and
Tagores Gora is a profoundly Indian book. It questions the identity of each of its characters as the well as the Indian nation. Caste, tradition, filial piety, patriotism and marriage are all philosophical addressed in the novel. Tagore examines the difference between religion and religious fanaticism. Tagore compares and contrasts relationship between: fathers and daughters, ruler and ruled, society and individual. Binoy is an intelligent young man who lives in the shadow of his best friend
What can I say about this that has not already been said? Still let me try recording my impressions.This is the story of two Hindu Bengali friends - Gora and Binoy, and two Brambho Bengali sisters - Sucharita and Lalita. Gora is the leader with strict principles which he is ready to defend at any cost. Binoy while intelligent and educated, still is very heavily influenced by Gora. There is Anondomoyee, Gora's mother, who is mother to both these friends and is very very refreshingly completely
After completing this book, I feel like a huge storm has calmed down. The tumultuous point-counterpoint, the arrogant urge to follow the rules of society, its necessity and importance had been swirling in mind for days and I was learning with each debate, making my own stand and within minutes Tagore came and broke that. I have read many philosophical novels full of points and counterpoints, for example, The Idiot or Elizabeth Costello; but never have got something so close, never have immersed
The Nath Haecceity From the Nobel prize winner- Rabindranath Tagore. Gora is one of the best novels I have ever read, and probably one of the most underrated and most ignored of all time. His wisdom gleams more than shards of glass and his dexterity in writing is incomparable. This book was written years back, still relevant and will be relevant in the future. The pressing topic of the book is avoided by most in a conversation, antagonized by many and reason of violence for a few, RELIGION. He
Tagore's historic tome makes for engrossing reading. With compelling characters and a nuanced narrative, this fictional social commentary addresses every aspect of the status quo of those times- from tense nationalism to religious confusion to the evolving gender norms. Often incisively insightful and always perceptive, Gora is a must-read novel for all Tagore's fans.
