Gora tagore6/8/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Rizaul Haque as Gora in Shukla Mitra film (2015) Gora is the product of a Bengal, which was torn between conservative Brahminism and emerging Brahmo beliefs that increasingly drew from westernised liberal reforms. Gora is assertive and egoistic, when it comes to his staunch religious beliefs. He firmly believes Hinduism can be the saviour for all other religions. He is compassionate towards the downtrodden and presumes that all evils of the society can be uprooted if everyone embraces Hinduism. He breaks out of the prison created in his own mind by himself and the nineteenth century predominant Brahminical society. Gora comes to the fore because of his metamorphosis from a staunch Hindu to a liberal. Gora is perhaps the most popular literary character Tagore created in his novel by the same name. This brings into focus the issue of humanism at a time when there is a raging debate over the choice of faith and nationalism, thereby bringing to my mind Rabindranath Tagore’s 1909 famous novel Gora. On the occasion of 74th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said economic growth and development should be the focus of the country but humanism should not be sidelined in the process. ![]()
