Binodini
- Author Name:
Rabindranath Tagore
- Rating:

Book Type:
- Description: Binodini, a novel written by the Nobel laureate Dr Rabindranath Tagore, tells the tale of a well-to-do middle-class family of Calcutta. Originally written in Bānglā with the title Chokhar Bāli (literally meaning 'sand in the eye'), the novel has been translated into English by Krishna Kripalani. The translator in his foreword to the novel opines, "It centers round the problem of human relationship and tells of what happens behind the staid facade of a well-to-do, middle-class Bengali home of the period, where a widowed mother lives with her only son on whom she dotes". Apart from telling the story of the family, the novel revolves around two main characters or rather say protagonists-Binodini, a young, talented, educated and beautiful widow; and Mahendra spoilt brat of his foolish mother. Binodini is written, taking the backdrop of contemporary society of Calcutta.

Book Type:
- Description: Awadheshwari, released in 1987, received the Sahitya Akademi Award (the National Academy of Letters, India) in 1988. This well-researched political novel set in Vedic times paints a vivid picture of the social and political ethos of the era. It specifically focuses on the concept of NiYoga, a prevalent practice of legal adultery where an infertile husband permits his wife to conceive with another man. Through various plots and subplots, the novel illustrates the circumstances leading to the practice's decline. It stands out as one of the best creative fictions in Kannada literature.

Anna once referenced influential figures like Shelley, Byron, Keats, Coleridge, Emerson, and Bacon, remarking that they are not foreigners in the truest sense. Is Tiruvalluvar simply a Tamil? They are all global citizens and educators, and Anna holds a similar esteemed position as a worldwide citizen. Anna is recognised as a pioneer in short stories that explore the tension between tradition and modernity. He is a relentless journalist and a guiding light as a dramatist.
