The Post Office tells the poignant story of an eight-year-old terminally ill boy confined indoors by his doctor. He glimpses the outside world only through his window, engaging eagerly with passers-by. A flower seller’s daughter, Sudha, promises to bring him flowers, while a watchman points out the king’s new post office nearby. The boy begins to imagine he will receive a letter from the king and builds a vibrant inner world around this idea, envisioning himself as the royal postman and awaiting a royal visit. Through this play, Tagore captures the resilience of the human spirit, showing how hope flourishes even in the bleakest of circumstances. The story reflects Tagore’s symbolic vision, portraying themes of freedom, inner joy, and an unbound spirit. Rich with metaphor, The Post Office also subtly comments on India’s socio-political state, evoking powerful images of the nation’s past, present, and future.

Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941) is a world-renowned poet, writer, novelist, essayist and artist known for creating works that bridged the gap between common people and those sitting at the highest echelons of power in India in pre-Independence years. His works mark the onset of modernism in literature and art, and he was also awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 for his exemplary contribution.
