Rabindranath had to go frequently to Shelaidah for looking after his zamindari. He had deep interaction with the farmers and villagers. He started writing poems for one of his greatest creation "Sonar Tari" (Golden Boat). In the middle of the year he went to Bolpur with his wife and three children- Bela (6), Rathindra (4), and Renuka (2). He again came back to the River, Padma and his Zamindari.
In 1892, an organisation was formed in the name 'Indian Musical Society'. This organisation would serve to fulfil the desire of upper middle-class people interested in music. Jyotirindranath and Rabindranath were associated with this organisation from the very beginning. For staging a drama of the society, he wrote a satire drama 'Goraay Galad'. He himself took the responsibilty of conducting the rehearsal.
Chitrangada, a Kabya Natya, was published in this year (1892) and it was staged at Emarald Theatre after 'Krishnakanter Will'. Chitrangada is an excellent creation by Rabindranath based on a plot of a skeleton of a story taken from the epic Mahabharata, written in the style of blank verse.When Rabindranath translated his drama, written in his early days, in prose (Sanyasi, King and Queen , Sacrifice etc), he changed many of his original work but Chitrangada, (translated form being Chitra), was an exception. In Chitra he only dropped the para 7 and combined para 6 and para 8 to one, and changed some of the dialogues of Madan and Chitrangada.
Krishna Kripalani commented on Chitrangada saying that this was a lyrical drama par excellence... which was one of Rabindranah's best, and perhaps the only one that was flawless, if anything made by man could be called flawles. Not a line would one like to take from it ...where every utterence quivers with lyrical passion held in masterly restraint. But Dwijendralal complained that the Kabya Natya was vulgar and immoral. Prasanta Pal mentioned all such remarks in his book "Rabi-Jibani".
At the end of the year Rabindranath went again to Solapur with his wife and children.
He came back to Rajshahi and remained as a guest of Loken Palit who was District Judge at that time. Akshay Kumar Moitra was there. He wrote 'Sirajuddaulah' and 'Mir Kasim' to great acclaim. In the Association of Rajshahi, he read an essay 'Shikshar Herpher' at their request. When Indians were busy chasing the English language he spoke in favor Benagali and placed a demand to the Authorities of Calcutta University to teach in the Bengali medium, which was supported by the then vice-chancellor, Sir Justice Gurudas Bandyopadhaya, and Barristar, Anada Mohan Basu.
