Rabindranath Tagore has been the most celebrated poet and intellectual in pre-independence India. The creator of our national anthem is known to have controversial thoughts regarding nationalism and patriotism. In his book Nationalism, he talked openly on how nationalism corrupts the population to gain power while the ultimate object of unity and equality is left behind. He was also an ardent defender of dissent and was known to have questioned even the father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi. In today’s India, where dissent and disagreement are considered anti-national and nationalism has become a proof of your identity, will the Nobel Laureate Tagore himself be considered anti-India, a member of Tukde-Tukde gang?
On the 159th birth anniversary of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, we’ll talk about 10 most important and most controversial thoughts of Tagore on Nationalism. Watch the full episode of TheDeshbhakt to see why Bhakt Banerjee is angry with Tagore.
