Abstract

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), whatever he touched turned into a gold. „The Post Office‟ is one of the examples of his master pieces. The Bengali edition of the play The „DAKGHAR‟ published in the year 1912. It is a very short play in terms of the size, scenes and dialogues. It has three scenes and three hundred ninety nine dialogues only. In fact, the play does not depend in the story, size, scenes or dialogues. The life-line of the play depends in ideas or concepts. Rabindranath advised us that The Post Office should read through the eyes of a child. Yes, the main character or hero Amal is a child and he is the centre of all the activities in the play. But in the light of globalization every advice or suggestions is questionable. We think, a sensible protest has been ringed out in the play to the refusal tendency of all concern and Amal is the symbol of liberation from all kinds of bondage. This is along with human personality is the ultimate motive of Rabindranath Tagore. „The Post Office‟ is not only a chronicle story but fixe is the soul of the play. That‟s why it is very short. „The post office‟ is fully an individual one in the series of Rabindra plays. Popularity of this play is really admirable in all over the world. Till now the play is eventual cabalistic. The utterance of the play is really invincible. Thus it has been acted successfully all over the world till date. The greatest symbolic play ever created by Rabindranath is the child pivotal one. This creation is deliberated as the greatest creation for child centric literature universally.
