Embark on a touching journey through the lively streets of Calcutta in Rabindranath Tagore’s Kabuliwallah, one of India’s bestloved children’s stories. Mini, a curious five-year-old, fills her father’s world with questions and laughter. Enter Rahmat, the Kabuliwallah, a stranger from Afghanistan hawking dry fruits from door to door. When he arrives at Mini’s house, Rahmat is captivated by her as she reminds him of his own daughter. This is the story of the heart-warming friendship that develops between the two—and the unbreakable bond that exists between fathers and daughters.
Born in Kolkata, Shri Rabindranath Tagore started writing poetry from a tender age of eight. Later, as an eminent poet, short story writer, essayist, painter, novelist and playwright of worldwide fame, he changed the face of Bengali literature and music. Some of his other works are Malini, The Crescent Moon and Stray Birds.
Well known as a 'polymath,' he was also known as a renaissance poet. He had a progressive mindset and believed that the human mind has unlimited capabilities.
Arunava Sinha translates classic, modern and contemporary Bengali fiction and nonfiction into English. Fifty-six of his translations have been published so far.
