India, Indianness and BuddhaDev BoseGanga Prasad VimalShobha NarainBuddha Dev Bose undoubtedly surpassed most of the writers ofthe post-Tagorian period in richness and variety of his creative output.In many ways his literary activities equal that of Tagore in qualityand range, and yet one could say, Buddha Dev Bose chartered adifferent path for himself out of the shadow of Tagorian traditionin Bangla literature. A very valid example of this could be seenin the association of many of his contemporaries with the magazine'Kavita' which for more than a quarter of a century led the ciriticaldiscourse in Bangla writing. Though not basically anti-Tagore, yetthere are internal echos of discontent with Tagorian thought. Theinclusion of the poetry of Jiwananandadas and partiality towardsprogressive ideology along with its rejection of a feudal outlookare expressions of disagreement with Tagore and in a way an indirectcriticism of Tagore. Today, looking objectively at the history of thedevelopment of Bangla literature, we can decipher two strands ofwriting, one that considers Tagore as the pinnacle of creativity inBangla literary sphere and the other which believes in forgingdistinctive literary styles and levels of creativity independent ofRabindranath Tagore.
