Rabindranath Tagore’s short stories are a perfect depiction of Indian society, set in the time of British rule. But, what cuts across the cultural reference is the emotions of women in each of his short stories. His writings focus on society’s expectation from women, a woman’s boundless love, and her turmoil. While reading through Tagore’s short stories, you realize women’s powerless position and their ignorance levels burdened as a primary caretaker of their households.
