Tagore and the Indian Strand

The idea
Tagore wrote in Bengali, translated himself into English, and was read widely in Britain. Gitanjali appeared in nineteen twelve and is public domain. He belongs to the translation band and the postcolonial band together, which is why this unit takes both at once.
In practice
Translation and postcolonial at once.
Where people slip
The two bands meet in him.
