Gora
A fair-skinned, ferociously orthodox young nationalist argues caste, purity and country against the reformist Brahmo household he keeps being drawn back to, and against its daughter. His certainty rests on a fact about his birth that the people who raised him have never told him. Tagore's longest work of fiction and his fullest argument with the Hinduism the independence movement was busy making sacred.
