The Home And The World ( Rabindranath Tagore)


Read by Tanika Gupta

The Home and the World is a vivid, powerful, and compelling story of love, power, and political awakening. Adapted by Tanika Gupta and directed by Nadia Molinari, this adaptation updates Tagore's classic novel to a contemporary British Muslim context.

Nusrat arrives in the UK from Pakistan to marry Nabeel, a wealthy and educated businessman. As she locks herself away in her home, reading articles that heighten her fears, Nabeel encourages her to broaden her horizons. When Nusrat attends a public meeting led by Sultan, a charismatic leader, her eyes are opened to the potential for action and change.

This adaptation explores both a romantic triangle and the philosophical questions surrounding violence in times of revolution, resonating strongly with current events.
