Summary

Chaturanga is a novel by Rabindranath Tagore, widely considered a landmark in Bengali literature. The novel was published in 1916. The story of the novel follows the journey of a young man named Sreebilas (the narrator), his meeting with his best friend, philosopher, and guide Sachis, and the story of Damini a widow, and Jyathamoshai, an idealist person. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
