Nationalism Dec 18, Usually ships within 1 to 3 months. The Swedish Royal Academy's decision to confer the Nobel Prize for literature on Tagore in November , almost overnight chilled his relations with a band of his admirers in England - W.

Pound accused him of manipulation; Yeats a personal friend who had written a page preface to the first edition of Gitanjali Song Offerings , refrained from congratulating him; Rothenstein turned diplomatic; and Bridges, in a letter to Tagore, called the prize a "crown of bank notes". But that was 70 years ago. At the moment, Calcutta, Tagore's home town, is warmed up not to the thought of one of its citizens past glory, but with new doubts about the circumstances in which he got the prize.

This time around, the doubting Thomas is a year-old bearded Marxist researcher and essayist, Nityapriya Ghosh, whose two earlier books on Tagore are critical of him both from nationalist and socialist standpoints.

Victoria and Albert Museum

Recently, Ghosh dealt another sledgehammer blow to Bengal's hallowed edifice of Tagore-worship in a 5,word article published in the Ananda Bazar Patrika , called "The Mystery of the Nobel Prize", he suggested that the academy's decision was prompted not by Tagore's reputation in England but by "hidden Royal prodding" from Prince William, the crown prince in Sweden's ruling house of Bernadotte. In , the Swedish royalty was smarting under the insult of Norway's secession in and - argues Ghosh - would have gone to any length to spite the British, including conferring the Nobel on a member of their subject race, because the Norwegians had chosen for their king and queen a son-in-law and a daughter of King Edward VII.

The Iconoclast: Ghosh has expanded the theme further in an article in the annual number of Prama , a socio-cultural research magazine due for publication this fortnight, where he has argued that Tagore - till a firm non-believer in the worth of finding an international audience - got interested in getting his works translated into English largely because Prince William had dangled the carrot of the Nobel Prize before him. His article is in the form of an extended hypothesis; but it violently clashes with accepted ideas such as:.

Ghosh's persuasively argued theory casts a sceptical look at each of these assertions, and subtly corroborates a parallel undercurrent of Bengali doubt about Tagore's greatness. The doubt is almost as old as the present century and has recurred at periodic intervals, being expressed by all sorts of people: Tagore's orthodox Hindu critics; his contemporary 'purists'; the custodians of morality in literature; the avant garde naturalist writers of the '30s; the Marxists.

Over the years, these charges have been subjected to the law of diminishing returns. What Ghosh has now done is to steer clear of any judgement of Tagore's poetry, but to hint that the Nobel Prize was a royal bounty, and that Tagore was "not unaware of the campaign in Stockholm.

Angry Reaction: But Ghosh's theory has naturally raised the hackles of the powerful Tagore establishment in West Bengal. Besieged with a volley of critical letters, some of them downright unprintable, the Ananda Bazar Patrika closed correspondence on the subject after carrying a dozen of them in its letters columns. He is merely trying to sensationalise the issue. The tide of Tagore's popularity in Britain reached Sweden and compelled the Swedes to award him the prize. Nityapriya should immediately stop his delirious outpourings.

Even if some royal personage had pulled strings for the award, it does not take away from the merit of Tagore's poems. But is the controversy really "useless"? Perhaps not.

A large number of young Tagore scholars in Calcutta as well as at Santiniketan, the university town associated with the memory of Tagore, kilometres from the city, feel that Tagore's cultural conquest in the West has not been adequately explained, and that there is a persistent mystery about the Nobel Prize. Tagore won the prize at the age of 52, a month after he had returned home from a month trip to Europe and the United States.

The prize, worth Rs , at that time, was announced on November 13, Natesan - Madras, October While handing over the prize, Harold Hjarne, president of the academy's Nobel committee, mentioned all the five books. It was December 10, The prize is awarded by a committee of 18 academy members, four of whom form a special board. The committee invites nominations from various national academies such as the Royal Academy of Literature in England ; even past Nobel laureates are entitled to recommend names.

The nominations come in till the last day of January: on February 1, the four-man board screens the nominations and circulates copies of the works of the short-listed authors among the 18 committee members. The members scan the works between February and October, and meet twice after October 1, to discuss among themselves and then to elect the winner.

Till February 1, only Song Offerings had appeared in print. So, the inevitable question is: did the committee take its decision on the basis of just one volume of poems, emended liberally by Yeats in the version translated by Tagore from the original Bengali? Conversely, the committee had to disregard the claims of 27 other nominees, including Anatole France , the French satirist, novelist and critic, and Thomas Hardy , the British novelist and poet, to confer the prize on Tagore.

Ironically, Tagore was not even an official nominee that year. Sturge Moore, a fellow member and a minor poet forgotten by now, who had put up a brief note before the committee suggesting Tagore's name. Moore's five-line letter did not mention a single book by Tagore. Ultra Orthodoxy: The member committee met on October 29, , to discuss the nominations they had received.
