Select Heroines of Tagore – A Feminist Reading

Nikhilesh Dhar

Abstract :

Rabindranath Tagore was born in a very custom oriented society. Yet by virtue of his upinging he developed in himself a liberal feminist mindset. Not exactly like a ‘Feminist’ in the strict sense of the term what he did was to give a dominant voice to many of his heroines in his works. Within the purview of the family structure, the female protagonists often rebelled against the male dominance, hegemonic patriarchal structure of the society. The paper tries to ing out the very circumstances of their life, the inner ripples of these heroines who by certain exemplary deeds remain unique in the whole gamut of Tagore’s literature.
