He continued to write poetry and verse plays at this time, and he also began composing Hindu devotionals.

He is the author of the first short story ever to be written in Bengali, 'Bhikharini' (1877, 'The Beggar Woman'). By the age of sixteen he had already gained recognition for his poetry. Tagore began writing at an early age, publishing poetry in various magazines and journals by the age of thirteen. His mother was named Sarada Devi, and hisįather, Debendranath Tagore, was a scholar, religious reformer, philosopher, and writer. Rabindranath Tagore was born on May 7, 1861, in Calcutta, India, which was then under British rule. Having remained in print for almost one hundred years, The Post Office is available in a 1998 paperback edition of Rabindranath Tagore: An Anthology. The play also presents a social commentary on class structure through the servants who surround the boy during his illness. In this manner, the play is primarily a metaphor for spiritual freedom, for death as a beginning rather than an ending. Only by dying is the boy finally set free.

On account of his sickness, the boy is confined to his bed, and he sits by his window, watching life go by without him. The play is about a small boy who is chronically ill. To this day, The Post Office is the most renowned and beloved of Tagore's dramatic works, and it is still regularly produced in the United States and abroad. The play was then published in English in 1914. Originally written in Bengali in 1912, Dak Ghar was translated into English as The Post Office and performed in 1913 by the Abbey Theatre Company in Dublin, Ireland, and London, England. Rabindranath Tagore, an Indian writer of all forms of literature (as well as a painter and composer), predominantly wrote in Bengali, though several of his poems and plays have been translated into English.
