About the Book
Khitindranath Thakurer Notebook (Bengali Version) is a rare and valuable historical document that brings to light the personal notebook of Khitindranath Tagore, a member of the illustrious Tagore family. Meticulously edited by Dr. Sunrita Mallik, the grandson of Bani Chattopadhyay (Tagore), daughter of Khitindranath Tagore, this volume offers readers a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and social world of the Tagore household during the late nineteenth century.
Khitindranath Tagore was the middle son of Hemendranath Tagore and grandson of Debendranath Tagore. Between 1887 and 1889, he recorded a variety of observations, family details, contemporary events, and personal notes in a notebook that has remained largely inaccessible to readers until now. These entries provide valuable insights into the lives of members of the Tagore family as well as the social and cultural environment of the period.
Dr. Sunrita Mallik has carefully preserved the original content of the notebook as faithfully as possible while supplementing it with extensive annotations and explanatory notes. These scholarly additions help readers understand the historical context, personalities, and events referenced in the manuscript, making the text accessible to modern audiences.
As the first published edition of this important archival document, the book serves as a significant resource for researchers, historians, literary scholars, and anyone interested in the history of the Tagore family and nineteenth-century Bengal. It offers a unique opportunity to engage with a previously unpublished source of cultural and historical importance.
