Book Description
Rabindranath Tagore, also written Rabindranatha Thakura, (7 May 1861 - 7 August 1941), sobriquet Gurudev, was a Bengali polymath who reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of Gitanjali and its "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse", he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. In translation his poetry was viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry remain largely unknown outside Bengal. Tagore introduced new prose and verse forms and the use of colloquial language into Bengali literature, thereby freeing it from traditional models based on classical Sanskrit. He was highly influential in introducing the best of Indian culture to the West and vice versa, and he is generally regarded as the outstanding creative artist of the modern Indian subcontinent, being highly commemorated in India and Bangladesh, as well as in Sri Lanka, Nepal and Pakistan.

Book Description
Chanakya the real author of this work, after whose name this book has been named, was one of the Ministers of the Rajah Chandragupta of Magadh Desh, now called Patna, which stands on the banks of the Ganges. It was then an independent sovereignty and ruled by the kings of the Gupta Dynasty, which, on its downfall, was succeeded by the Nanda Dynasty.Chanakya was a great poet and one of the eminent Sanskrit Scholars of his day. Chanakya Niti Darpan means, a looking glass, in which politics by Chanakya may be viewed. It contains 343 couplets and has been divided into 17 chapters, each containing 20 couplets, more or less.This work met with the approval and approbation of every Sanskrit scholar and gained such a publicity that one who had even the least knowledge of the Sanskrit language, could hardly plead his ignorance of this book. Later on, commentaries on Bhasha, or the vernacular language of the country, were published for the use of those who could not understand the original Sanskrit text. Sanskrit Grammar is so difficult that one, without its thorough knowledge, cannot understand Sanskrit sentences or couplets and the perfect mastery of the Grammar means years and years together and sometimes the whole life of a man of middle class intellect.

Book Description
In recent years American readers have been thrilling to the work of such Indian writers as Salman Rushdie and Vikram Seth. Now this extravagant and wonderfully discerning anthology unfurls the full diversity of Indian literature from the 1850s to the present, presenting today’s brightest talents in the company of their distinguished forbearers and likely heirs. The thirty-eight authors collected by novelist Amit Chaudhuri write not only in English but also in Hindi, Bengali, and Urdu. They include Rabindranath Tagore, arguably the first international literary celebrity, chronicling the wistful relationship between a village postal inspector and a servant girl, and Bibhuti Bhushan Banerjee, represented by an excerpt from his classic novel about an impoverished Bengali childhood, Pather Panchali. Here, too, are selections from Nirad C. Chaudhuri’s Autobiography of an Unknown Indian, R. K. Narayan’s The English Teacher, and Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children alongside a high-spirited nonsense tale, a drily funny account of a pre-Partition Muslim girlhood, and a Bombay policier as gripping as anything by Ed McBain. Never before has so much of the subcontinent’s writing been made available in a single volume.
