 Literary Encyclopedia: Tagore, Rabindranath
Tagore is often seen as a mystical writer, or a voice of India’s spiritual heritage, because of the formative influences of the Upanishads and The Bhagavad Gita on him.
Yet Tagore was opposed to nationalism, or the form of patriotism that is tantamount to idolatry of the nation, and “breeds sectarian arrogance, mutual misunderstanding and a spirit of persecution.” He always considered soul, conscience, and the fellowship of humanity superior to the nation.
He argued that British colonialism was built on the ideology of nationalism, as the British came to India and other rich pastures of the world to plunder and so further the prosperity of their own nation.
