The English ruler banned the novel book Pather Dabi. Writer Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay wrote a letter to Rabindranath Tagore to put pressure on the government and lift the ban. Rabindranath Tagore replied, “I have read the book to you. The book is provocative. It means exhausting the mind against the English rule. It may not seem to be the fault of the writer, as the writer cannot remain silent if he finds the English king acceptable. In my experience of traveling to different countries, I have seen that no other government can tolerate so much opposition to the words or usage of the native or foreign tenants except the English government. If they had not stopped publishing your book, then it would have been understood that he was very ignorant about your power in literature and your establishment in the country. You have to be prepared to withstand the onslaught of power”.
