What did Rabindranath Tagore say in his prose 'the religion of the forest'expiain it in brief?
Tagore's "The Religion of the Forest" is an excellent essay in
which the essayist beautifully delineates the influence of forest
on Indian classical literature as well as the affinities between
the forest and the people of India. The essay begins with Tagore's
ideal realization that the ideal of perfection preached by the
forest-dwellers of ancient India runs through the heart of Indian
classical literature and still dominates the mind of the Indian
people. Kalidasa's "Shakuntala" and Bhavabhuti's
"Uttar-Ramacharita" find their background in scenes of the forest
