This document highlights the evolution of theatrical practices and nationalist (Swadeshi) thought at the Jorasanko Tagore House, centering on the life of Jyotirindranath Tagore. It describes the 'Sanjivani Sabha' established by Jyotirindranath, the addition of Rabindranath's songs to plays like 'Puru Bikram' and 'Sarojini,' and the theatrical craze of that era. The text also covers the history of Swadeshi initiatives through the 'Sarojini' steamer business and the related 'Nagar Sankirtan' in Barisal and Khulna. Finally, it reflects on the musical play 'Manmoyee' and memories of performances within the inner quarters of the Tagore household to capture the theatrical atmosphere of the time.
