Be it the times when India was struggling for freedom or the present battles, the true definition of nationalism came up by the power of a pen and the skills of men and women. Nationalism is nothing less than a perfect example of how non-violent protesting against the British was aspiring to be during that time. The book is a trio of lectures delivered by Rabindranath Tagore himself regarding the growth of one's pride for their nation, not just in India but worldwide. He explains the vulnerability of his position amongst others as a citizen of a country doomed by racism internally and externally. Nationalism acts as a guide and helps you understand Indian politics from the core, the roles of religious leaders, and the true meaning of the word 'nation'. Tagore accepts that the possibility of patriotism started as an action to counter hue and cry. The section of patriotism in the west defines an elusive rim among truth and misrepresentation and shows how falsehood is lionized as a way to financial accomplishment.
Autorenporträt
Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 - 7 August 1941) was a Bengali polymath who was active as a poet, writer, playwright, composer, philosopher, social reformer, educationist and painter during the age of Bengal Renaissance. He reshaped Bengali literature and music as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of the "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful" poetry of Gitanjali, he became in 1913 the first non-European and the first lyricist to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Tagore's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; where his elegant prose and magical poetry were widely popular in the Indian subcontinent. He was a fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society. Referred to as "the Bard of Bengal", Tagore was known by sobriquets: Gurudeb, Kobiguru, and Biswokobi.[a]A Bengali Brahmin from Calcutta with ancestral gentry roots in Burdwan district and Jessore, Tagore wrote poetry as an eight-year-old. At the age of sixteen, he released his first substantial poems under the pseudonym Bh¿nusi¿ha ("Sun Lion"), which were seized upon by literary authorities as long-lost classics. By 1877 he graduated to his first short stories and dramas, published under his real name. As a humanist, universalist, internationalist, and ardent critic of nationalism,[15] he denounced the British Raj and advocated independence from Britain. As an exponent of the Bengal Renaissance, he advanced a vast canon that comprised paintings, sketches and doodles, hundreds of texts, and some two thousand songs; his legacy also endures in his founding of Visva-Bharati University
