Rabindranath in the year 1894 had said in His book ‘Aadhunik Saahitya’ while commenting on the works of the poet Biharilal Chakraborty –
… There is an independently moving masculine entity within our nature, which is intolerant to bondage alongside a feminine one which preffers to be enclosed and secured within the walls of the home. Both of them remain united in an inseparable fashion. One is eager to develop significantly his undying strength in a diverse way by savouring ever-new tastes of life, exploring ever-new realms and manifestations and the other remains encircled within innumerable prejudices and traditional practices, enthralled with her habitual deliberations. One takes you out into the vast expanse and the other seems to pull towards home. One is a forest bird and the other is a caged bird. This forest bird is the one that sings much. Although, its song expresses with its diverse melodies the whimper and its craving for unrestricted freedom.

Khnaachar paakhi chhilo sonar khnaachatite, boner paakhi chhilo bone. Ekoda ki koriya milano holo dnohe, ki chhilo bidhatar mone. Boner paakhi bale, 'Khnaachar paakhi bhai , bonete jaai dnohe mile.' Khnaachar paakhi bale , 'Boner paakhi aay,khnaachaay thaaki niribile.' Boner paakhi bale, 'Na, aami shikale dhara naahi dibo.' Khnaachar paakhi bale, 'Haay, aami kemone bone baahiribo.' Boner paakhi gaahe baahire bosi bosi boner gaan chhilo jato, Khnaachar paakhi gaahe shikahano buli taar - dnohar bhaasa duimoto. Boner paakhi bale 'Khnaachar paakhi bhaai, boner gaan gaao dekhi.' Khnaachar paakhi bale, 'Boner paakhi bhaai, khnaachar gaan laho shikhi.' Boner paakhi bale, 'Na aami shikhano gaan naahi chaai.' Khnaachar paakhi bale, 'Haay aami kemone bonogaan gaai.' Boner paakhi bale, 'Aakash ghano nil kothao baadha naahi taar.' Khnaachar paakhi bale, 'khnaachati poripati kemon dhaaka chaaridhar.' Boner paakhi bale, 'Aapona chhaari daao megher maajhe ekebare.' Khnaachar paakhi bale, 'Nirala kone bose bnaadhiya raakho aaponare.' Boner paakhi bale 'Na, setha kothaay uribare paai !' Khnaachar paakhi bale, 'Haay, meghe kothaay bosibar thnaai.' Emni dui paakhi dohare bhaalobase, tobuo kaachhe naahi paay. Khnaachar phaanke phaanke paroshe mukhe mukhe, nirabe chokhe chokhe chaay. Dujone keho kare bujhite naahi paare , bujhate naare aaponaay. Dujone eka eka jhaapoti more paakha kaatore kaahe, 'Kaachhe aay !' Boner paakhi bale, 'Na, kabe khnaachaay rudhi dibe dwaar !' Khnaachar paakhi bale, 'Haay, mor shakoti naahi uribar !'
