Calcutta was the capital of British India then. Members of Chirakumar Sabha have vowed to remain unmarried throughout life. The Club is headed by Chandrababu, a professor, who lives with his niece, Nirmala, and at whose house the meetings of Chirakumar Sabha are held. The coup de grace comes when the sole survivor, Purna, falls for Chandrababu's niece. A hilarious account of a group of bachelors eventually getting married in due course, this translation from the Bengali original by Sukhendu Ray captures the spirit of the original play while retaining its readability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRabindranath Tagore\u003c\/strong\u003e was a writer and Nobel Laureate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSukhendu Ray \u003c\/strong\u003eis a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, England and Wales. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRabindranath Tagore\u003c\/strong\u003e (1861-1941), acclaimed poet, playwright, short story writer, and novelist, wrote successfully in almost all literary genres including musical drama, dance drama, essay, travel diary, and autobiography.
