Start of Tagore's Sadhana period

The Sadhana period marks a crucial phase in Rabindranath Tagore's literary career, spanning four years during which he produced a significant body of work. This period is named after one of Tagore's magazines, 'Sadhana', which played a role in disseminating his ideas and writings. During these years, Tagore wrote more than half of the stories that would later be included in 'Galpaguchchha', a three-volume collection comprising eighty-four stories. This collection is notable for its exploration of various themes, including the complexities of human relationships and the socio-political landscape of Bengal. Tagore's innovative narrative style and his ability to weave intricate plots contributed to the establishment of the Bengali short story genre, which he effectively pioneered with his earlier works. The Sadhana period not only solidified Tagore's reputation as a leading literary figure but also influenced the trajectory of modern Bengali literature, inspiring future generations of writers to explore new forms and themes in their storytelling. Tagore's works from this period reflect a deep engagement with the cultural and philosophical currents of his time, showcasing his evolution as a thinker and artist.
