In his novels, plays and stories, Tagore created extraordinary characters, inspired by the many women he met in his lifetime. From Binodini in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chokher Bali<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to Charulata in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nastanirh<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Mrinal in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Streer Patra<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, each argued his case for a progressive, liberal, and inclusive society where women were empowered and had complete agency over their bodies.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But even then, no other character has the kind of sway over Tagore\u2019s followers as Labanya \u2013 arguably, his most complex and nuanced character \u2013 from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shesher Kobita<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last Poem<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), a story about two people who are drawn together by their love for stimulating <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/first-person\/self-talk-conversation-chatting\/amp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">conversations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Perfectly matched in their intellect and wit, they eventually decide to stay apart in acknowledgment of their unbreachable differences. Until this day, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shesher Kobita<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> remains one of Tagore\u2019s most celebrated expositions of love, conjugal relationships, and a woman\u2019s right to choose, even in a consensual relationship.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s been more than nine decades since <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shesher Kobita<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was first serialised, but even then, Labanya remains as relevant as she was when she first stormed into popular <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gastronomy\/how-to-survive-as-a-sugar-conscious-gujarati\/amp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">consciousness<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. She is a woman who makes her own choices and lives by them, loves unconditionally, and expects her lover to do the same. She also refuses to lose her identity in an intense relationship, and does not expect her lover to do that either. \u201cSpace\u201d and \u201ctaste\u201d, both matter to her as much as it would matter to a man. On the week of Tagore\u2019s death anniversary, it makes perfect sense to revisit it even as we grapple with the wave of toxic masculinity unleashed by the Kabir Singhs of the world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set in picturesque <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/outdoors\/meghalaya-shillong-betting-archery-dreams-gambling-khasi\/amp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shillong<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during the onset of monsoons, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shesher Kobita<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> revolves around Amit Raye, an Oxford educated barrister, hobby poet, and a reckless socialite who loves to set off on grand adventures in letter, and in spirit. He is a classic case study of a romantic \u2013 self-obsessed and irrevocably taken with the grand idea of himself as a lover and of love. He also revels in projecting himself as a contrarian, a rabble rouser, and an ardent critic of Tagore, while secretly obsessing over his poetry. He likes to cast himself as a misfit in the aristocratic, westernised society of colonial Calcutta and escapes his social network to \u201cseek solitude in Shillong\u201d. But once he\u2019s there, he also realises that \u201csolitude needs a crowd to exist\u201d. It\u2019s obvious that Amit needs an audience all the time.\u00a0<\/span>\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">She is a woman who makes her own choices and lives by them, loves unconditionally, and expects her lover to do the same.<\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Labanya on the other hand, is that women you meet at a poetry reading session, who leaves you spellbound with her quiet erudition, her brilliant mind and her independent streak \u2013 a woman who will fire up your imagination, and yet remain distant. It\u2019s this quality that elevates Labanya from the pit of predictability to a feisty <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/why-every-woman-needs-a-house-of-her-own\/amp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">woman<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who commands her own narrative. Amit, shackled by his narcissism, fails to see Labanya for what she is. He is enchanted by her erudition and her love for poetry (the two converse in verses by their favourite poets) \u2013 his social circle in Calcutta has never thrown up such a discovery. During one of their meetings, he marvels at how books on her table \u201creveal themselves\u201d unlike books in a \u201cpublic library that just remain there, unnoticed.\u201d In Labanya, he finds the woman who can match him in wit, verse, and spirit. But Labanya approaches this affair with trepidation. She realises that Amit wants his Pygmalion in her. She understands that they have differences that will inevitably kill the beauty and purity of their love. The reason she decides to reject an ordinary life with her extraordinary lover is that she does not want to exist as a figment of his imagination.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So even when Amit celebrates their impending engagement, she remains worried, confessing that she is scared whether this is a time for her to be \u201ccaptured\u201d. She also tells him that he is not the kind of person who would be happy in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/modern-family\/marriage-problems-overcaring-husband\/amp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">marriage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because in her assessment, she senses an \u201cimmaturity that cannot survive the mundaneness of marriage\u201d. Here is a romantic heroine who prefers to speak the truth to her lover\u2019s grand delusions. When Amit shares his dreams of a married life where both of them would inhabit their separate physical space throughout the day, only to come together for their union in the night, she remains cold to his fantasies. She reminds him, bluntly, that there is enough of a distance between them already. The refusal to commit to a relationship has always been a male prerogative. Yet it is also something that Tagore subverts with Labanya.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Labanya and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shesher Kobita<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> then, Tagore rips through the facade of marriage, questions it as an institution, and celebrates love that transcends definition. What makes this story such a bittersweet and open-ended one is that both Labanya and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/three-tips-for-amit-shah-to-woo-the-shiv-sena\/amp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> move on to marry partners they had left behind in their past. But there is no melodramatic snapping of ties with each other either: While Amit hints at polyamory, suggesting that it is possible to love more than one person at the same time, Labanya remains the enigma that she was at the beginning of their fateful affair. She sees fulfilment in her separation with Amit, believing that being soul mates and cherishing a special bond is better than tarnishing it with the stigma of marriage.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many years ago, Oscar Wilde had written: \u201cMen always want to be a woman\u2019s first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about these things. What (women) like is to be a man\u2019s last romance.\u201d In Labanya, we find the last <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/love-struck-romance-airport\/amp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">romance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that is never meant to be realised \u2013 only desired.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This morning, I was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/modern-family\/k-pop-band-bts-army-mother-daughter-relationship\/amp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">listening<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to an audio production of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shesher Kobita<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when suddenly my 75-year-old mother-in-law, walked into the room and began to recite Amit\u2019s lines for Labanya. \u201cI know them by heart,\u201d she said with a mysterious smile that lit up her weary eyes. There is a Labanya in every woman, I realised. A woman who longs to be desired, not to be conquered. A woman, who knows the privilege of the last romance.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few characters have the kind of sway over Rabindranath Tagore\u2019s followers as Labanya \u2013 arguably, his most complex and nuanced character \u2013 from Shesher Kobita (Last Poem).
