Abanindranath Tagore's "Buro-Angla"
Clearing a Controversy

Recently (December 2004) there was a baseless controversy in Ananda Bazar Patrika, about Abanindranath Tagore's "Buro-Angla". One Bengali scholar from Sweden, Ms Chhanda Chakraborty had pointed out that Tagore had taken the story from Selma Lagerlof's fairy tale Adentures of Nils without due credit to its author. Soumen Paul of Calcutta has pointed out that the allegation is baseless and has sent the First Edition Cover and publisher's note of "Buro-Angla" which is displayed here.
