Talent of Rabindranat (contd-7)-last school attended

 Rabindrnath and his two class mates were admitted in "fifth year's Class" in St.Xaviers Collegiate School - the next class of which was Entrance class i.e., Rabindranath was admitted in Class IX. There were 40 students in the class. Roll no. of Rabindranath was 36. This information was received in the school diary of 1875 noticed in the Calender of St.Xaviers College , 1976.
Rabindranath took the help of Munshi during dropping out from Bengal Academy but now he had to take his own help to drop out from St.Xaviers' School. From his childhood Rabindranath possessed sound health. Only in three cases he had some illness.
The most important incident in this year in  Rabindranath's mother Sarada Devi died on 10th 1875 when Rabindranath was 13 years 10 months only.
An important chapter began in  Rabindranath's life as a poet in this year [1875] and i.e., the acquaintance  of Baishnab Literature.
The readers of History Of Bengali Literaturee know that almost all the branches of Bengali literature  after the time of Chaitanya were full love story between Radha and Krishna. But this gradually deteriorated in all the camps of Baishnabis for their misappropriation of the sacred thoughts in Baishnab literature and the then learned persons became disgusted with their behaviour. This was first changed by Madhusudan Datta who wrote Brajangana Kabya [1861] and the frustration of the learned persons were removed.
Rabindranath took the responsibility of writing a series of poems following Bidyapati in the pseudonym of Bhanu Singh titled Bhanu Singher Padabali.
