In the present year ,1890, Rabindranath wrote two songs, 1. Naba anande Jaago, 2. oi pohaqila timira raati on the occasion of 1st Baisakh.
On 14th Baishakh, Rabindranath read an essay, Mantri Avishek, in Emarald Theatre. The lecture was published in a book form. It was also published in Bharati and Balak, in Baishakh, 1890. The proposal on which Rabindranath delivered his lecture is, "That this meeting views with apprehension and alarm the introduction of Lord Cross's India Councils' Bill into the British Parliament and desires to record its firm connection that if this measure be passed into law in the present shape , it will create deep and widespread discount and injure the vital measures of the Indian nation."
Rabindranath started his lecture with the words,
" The subject I was intended to refer here has covered a long distance - we are all in this opinion. Else it was impossible for me , a person with non-business mentality, to cut through the complex field of politics and make a smooth lane through it."
No criticism was found of Bisarjan in any of current news paper.Haraprasad Shastri, librarian of Bengal library wrote in his yearly reporting. " Bisarjan , by Rabindranath Tagore, is written with consummate art in this work the Babu dramatized the first few, that is, the best chapters of his well know novel , the Rajarsi;But plot of the drama is a great improvement upon that of the novel. "
Rabindranath was found in Santiniketan where he wrote, "Bhalo kore bale jao."
Rabindranath started for Solapur on the way to England on 7th Aug 1890. This was his second journey to England. The first one was in 1878 when he had gone there for education. By this time relation between England and India took many changes qualitatively by this time.
While staying in Solapur Rabindranath wrote three poems.
A kind of pathos have flown through three poems.A few months later Rabindranath wrote a letter to Pramatha Choudhury, "If one thinks deeply he will find that the portion of love affairs of Manasi is merely kabya. It is a big and fine game only. The main fact is , man does not know what he wants...."
On 22Aug 1890, Rabindranath, Satyendranath and Lokendranath started for England in ship named "Shyam". Rabindranath became ill during this sea voyage. Before reaching in Rabindranath wrote a letter to Mrinalini describing his illness in the ship, " On Sunday night [24 Aug], I felt that my soul came out of my body and went to Jorasanko. You were lying in a big cot and Bely and Khoka lying by your side.I petted you a little and said , Choto Bou remeber that today on Sunday night I left my After going home I shall ask you whether you have seen me.The I kissed Bely and Khoka and returned back."
Rabindranath started for India on 9 Oct.
Last year in the month of Agrahayan and Magh Rabindranath visited north Bengal in their family estate at Silaidah and Sahajadpur situated in Berhampore and Isabsahi parganas headquarter. This year in 1st Magh [13 Jan] he started for their estate at Patisar situated in the head quarter of Kaligram Pargana. Rabindranath went there by boat and reached there he wrote a letter to his wife describing the scenery enroute his journey. " Today I reached Kaligramit took three days. Having reached here he received a letter from his daughter Madhurilata [ aged 4 years 3 months]. On receiving the letter he wrote , " I was thinking of going home after getting the letter from his sweet Belurani. She feels sad in my absence. She possesses a tiny soul. What will happen with that.I saw Khoka in my dream at night.I petted him taking in my lap."
His fatherly affection has not been described much in his writings.
Having come to North Bengal this year he had close contact with this place. After coming from the gorgeous place like London to this high ambition less locality, his mind was eclipsed with joy.
Rabindranath again wrote poetry on 10 Aug at Khirki.But it has different feelings.
In this situation Rabindranath wrote a prose piece, Nabyabanger Andolan.
Rabindranath again started for Silaidah with his wife , Mrinalini Debi, her one attendant, Bela, Rathindranath . Balendranath also accompanied them. They took shelter in a boat.
This time Rabindranath has close contact with the nature of Bengal village.He also got close contact with the village people. This was reflected in his letters and "Chinnapatra".
