Rabindranath Tagore, by Suketu Mehta
Here is a piece by Suketu Mehta, the acclaimed writer of Maximum City: Bombay lost and found, published originally in the Time in 1999. We are very grateful to Suketu for letting us add it to our site. In referring to Tagore’s story Kabuliwalah (The fruitseller from Kabul), Mehta writes:
I rere
ad “Kabuliwalah,” his 1892 story about an Afghan merchant’s friendship with a little girl, to find out if it would still affect me the way it did when I last read it, in a school textbook. It is a sentimental story, but it is not melodramatic. Towards the end of the story, the upper-class narrator discovers, through a small picture – a little girl’s handprint, carried across borders as a memento – what he has in common with a murderous Afghan, something that spans the huge distance between them. “I forgot then that he was an Afghan raisin-seller and I was a Bengali Babu. I understood then that he was as I am, that he was a father just as I am a father.” This is what the best of Tagore’s stories do: erase distinctions between the self and the other. There are no real villains in Tagore’s stories, or in his worldview.
