Abstract
Rabindranath Tagore’s short story Kabuliwala
poignantly explores the depth of human relationships, focusing primarily on the
emotional bond between a father and a child. The narrative captures the
complexities of separation, longing, and empathy through the interactions
between the Kabuliwala, a fruit seller from Afghanistan, and Mini, a young girl
in Kolkata. Despite cultural and geographical differences, the story reveals
the universal nature of parental love and the power of emotional connections
that transcend barriers. This study analyzes the portrayal of these
interpersonal relationships, emphasizing how Tagore uses simple yet profound
storytelling to highlight themes of compassion, nostalgia, and the human need
for connection. By examining the characters' emotional journeys, the article
sheds light on the timeless relevance of Kabuliwala in understanding
father-child bonds and interpersonal empathy.
