Rabindranth Tagore emerged as a rebel dramatist protesting against the prevalent social evils. In hiswritings he often criticised the evil customs and superstitious beliefs. In Tagore‟s plays there can alsobe found an undertone of spirituality. True to his liberal background, he was invariably againstreligious bigotry, fanaticism, and other malpractices arising out of a misconceived sense of religion. Infact, he unequivocally attacked worn out and useless conventions that hampered the progress ofmankind.The theme of self-discovery in relation to fellow-men, Maker (God) and the whole universeis the major idea of his play Achalayatan. The play drives home the idea that true religion is not theinstitutionalised religion but the religion of love the path of uprightness and compassion is truereligion‟s essence. Quintessence of religion consists in kindness and love towards all which in the playAchalayatan is personified by Panchak and Dadathakur and Acharya to great extent.

This research paper tries to analyse the character of Rosie in the novel, The Guide by R.K.Narayan. It traces the transition in her character from inauthenticity to authenticity. The objective of this paper is to bring out how Rosie involves inauthentically with Marco and Raju but her role as ‘Nadini’ led her to embark a new journey towards authenticity. For existential philosophers, Inauthenticity means lack of oneself, when one is not in accordance to one’s personality, freedom and choices. If anyone doesn’t commit fully in the role allocated to oneself, he establishes himself as an inauthentic person whereas authenticity is the condition when one is honest to oneself, having freedom of choice and gracefully takes the responsibility of that freedom and moreover respects other’s freedom
