This year (1927) Hindi Sahitya Sammelan in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, was convened and Rabindranath was invited to preside over the conference. A messenger of Kiran Singh, Maharaja of Rajasthan, came to Shantiniketan. This time biographer of Rabindranth accompnied him to Bhartpur. The poet was given accomodation in the palace. A huge arrangement was made for the Hindi Sahitya conference. Thousands of delegates attended the conference.Rabindranath delivered his speech in English.
In the mean time, an initiative was taken to make Hindi as the State language of India. The Poet in his speech said;
" A language cannot be made a State Language only it is necessary for the state but this is not the sufficient condition. To become a state language , it must have literary qualities."
Rabindranath was taken to visit local sight seeing. A big lake was there at a distance from the city where different birds came from different places. All on a sudden he found a board where it was written the names of foreigners who had killed birds more than thousands. Having seen the board he got hurt and left the place immediately. The ancient poet of Ramayana had first circulated a notice prohibiting killing of birds. It was Rabindranath who also issued notices prohibiting killing of birds in his estate. Even the Government officers were not allowed to violate the notice.
Rabindranath came to Ahmedabad via Joypur from Bharatpur. Here he became guest of Ambala sarabhai and stayed there for 2/3 days. In the mean time he received a book, Biography of Rabindranath, written by
Prof Edward Thompson. Rabindranath didnot like the book as it not only contaied some errors but also corraborated some unpleasant language. Rabindranath wrote an article in Praasi in his disguise name " Bani Benode Bandyopadhyay" expressing his critical opinion. From Ahmedabad he came to Agra and then came back to Shantiniketan.
