(Video) BISARJAAN

In Solapur Rabindranath wrote Raja O Rani, a full length drama like that of Shakespeare. In Shahzadpur he wrote 'Bisarjan' depending on the plot of  the novel, 'Rajarshi', written by him a few days ago.
Abanindranath Thakur narrated a short background of the situation leading to the creation of this drama.
It was rainy season. They (Dada,Aruda, etc some of them) were planning to stage one drama. In the mean time Rabikaka entered the room suddenly. He came here from Shahzadpur for two days and asked what they were planning. On hearing their plan he immediately took the charge of writing the drama and left for Shahzadpur. There he wrote Bisarjan which was staged in Thakurbadi and Rabindranath took the role of Raghunath, the priest.
The book was dedicated to Surendranath who gave him a soft bound book for copying it.
