Rabindranath Tagore’s collection of short stories Golpo Guchcha (1926), is often credited for being the repository of socio-cultural gems in the form of stories like “Kabuliwala”, “The Broken Nest”, “Postmaster”, “Hungry Stones”, “Letter from the Wife” and others. What we find in these stories are tales of human endeavour, perseverance and agency. But interestingly enough, even though Tagore ascribes these heroic qualities to ordinary men and women, he represents them and treats them as ‘normal’, part of the ‘normative’ society. Through this paper, attention is being drawn towards a blatant lapse on the part of the Nobel laureate. True that here are stories in the collection that document the lives of the ‘disabled’ and the ‘abnormal’ but they are stripped of agency and dignity. What did Tagore’s society perceive of the threat of a ‘disabled’ woman’s sexuality and how did it think of containing it? The paper with its focus on sex/sexuality, ‘disability’ converging on the woman is designed to reveal the power matrix within society that drives ‘women with disabilities’ into social isolation. With this we evaluate literature generated disability- knowledge, which often functions as the primary manufacturer of meaning of the lives of ‘women with disabilities’.
