Struggle to protect environment in Rabindra Chetna: Balai and Abhijit character in context/ রবীন্দ্র চেতনায় পরিবেশ রক্ষার সংগ্রাম : প্রসঙ্গে বলাই ও অভিজিৎ চরিত্র

Abstract

Rabindranath is one of the wonders of Bengali literature. His life was devoted to worship the beauty of mother nature. The lush green beauty of world was one of his inspirations. In each of his works, he has explored the infinite forms of nature and its profound interaction with man. In this article, we will arch the story of a battle whose beginning and conclusion differs, but motto stays same- ‘Save nature’. An evil machinery with different names, works the same to curtail the pace of nature. Sometimes by cutting down trees, sometimes by holding water, it disrupts the rhythm of nature. Balai and Abhijit are the two protagonist of this struggle. Doesn’t the narrative of Balai from the short story alliterate with the activities of Abhijit from the drama ‘Muktodhara’? Let us analysis this topic.
