Question

the post office by Rabindranath Tagore summary​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:    The Post Office (Bengali: Dak Ghar) is a 1912 play by Rabindranath Tagore. It concerns Amal, a child confined to his adoptive uncle's home by an incurable disease. W. Andrew Robinson and Krishna Dutta note that the play "continues to occupy a special place in [Tagore's] reputation, both within Bengal and in the wider world." It was written in four days.

Amal stands in Madhav's courtyard and talks to passers-by, and asks in particular about the places they go. The construction of a new post office nearby prompts the imaginative Amal to fantasize about receiving a letter from the King or being his postman. The village headman mocks Amal, and pretends the illiterate child has received a letter from the king promising that his royal physician will come to attend him. The physician really does come, with a herald to announce the imminent arrival of the king; Amal, however, dies as Sudha comes to bring him flowers.

Answer 2

Answer:

• In the short story "The Postmaster," an unidentified postmaster is sent to a remote post office in a sleepy Indian town.
• The proprietor of the factory, which was close to the settlement, was an Englishman.
• The mailman seems out of place in such a remote rural community because he comes from the enormous city of Calcutta.
• The post office appears to have just two rooms: the office itself and the postmaster's "thatched shack" residence next to a still pond surrounded by dense vegetation.

• The manufacturing workers in the area were so preoccupied with their work that they had little time to socialise.
• They were also unsuitable companions for "decent folk."
• In addition, social skills were not very strong among Calcutta residents.
• They come off as conceited or uneasy.
• In any event, the postmaster did not have a lot of friends or activities to keep him busy.
• He occasionally made an effort to write some poems.
• The kind of joyful poetry he intended to write was influenced by the rural environment.
• The postmaster, however, is unconcerned about the scenery and would be content if a paved road and numerous tall structures were to take its place.
• Because of his meagre pay, he had to prepare his own meals and would occasionally dine with Ratan, an orphan girl from the area.
• She performed errands for the postmistress.
• The mailman calls for Ratan in the evening, when the village is alive with pleasing sights and noises.
• Ratan usually inquires as to if she has truly been called after waiting for the nighttime call.
• The fire needed for cooking is then frequently lit by her.
• The mailman, who always had Ratan light his pipe for him, orders her to wait till he smokes it.
• Ratan and the postmaster used to converse while both were smoking.
• Ratan loved to tell him about her early years, so he inquired about them.
• The mailman talks with Ratan about his family, including his mother, sister, and home.
• She used to refer to the postmaster as her "older brother" by the name "Dada."
• She submitted to her boss. She learned to read from the postmistress. Ratan starts studying double consonants.
• They become friends and form a trusting relationship.
• Ratan takes the postmaster on brief errands while they share food.
• The season's first showers cause the postmaster to become unwell one day.
• When he was ill, Ratan took care of him as a mother would.
• She sat next to him the entire night, waiting for his full recovery.
• The Postmaster chose to submit an application to be transferred back to Calcutta.
• He resigns from his position after his request to be transferred is denied.
• When the moment was right, our postmaster made the decision to head back to his hometown.
• Ratan felt terrible wounded, but he kept it to himself. She requested that he take her to his city.
• At her request, he giggled. He offered Ratan his entire paycheck as he was leaving, but she rebuffed him and fled in tears.
• She sobbed at the thoughtful act! She was crying as she made her way around the post office.
• Ratan's poor! She did not receive any love in return.
• Ratan is devastated to learn that her owner has abandoned her for good in the conclusion.
