Politics, Society and Colonialism: An Alternative Understanding of Tagore's Responses

Amartya Mukhopadhyay

4.9/5 (33706 ratings)

Description:This well-researched book brings forth Tagore’s views on a wide range of aspects of Indian life: civil-social sphere, nation and nationalism, intercommunity relations, gender, industry, and ecology. The relevance of Tagore’s work cuts across disciplines and the power of his ideas transcends time. His views on many aspects of politics, society and culture in India are eminently relevant in modern India. However, Nirad C. Chaudhuri once predicted that the difficulty in translating Tagore’s work would ascertain that in future his work will lie ‘like a buried city in the past’. The difficulty of translating him in any of the European or modern Indian languages and his position as a cult figure in India contributed to this gap between adulation and understanding. Amartya Mukhopadhyay probes deep into Tagore’s entire oeuvre to bring out critically important ideas and their underpinnings in colonial politics. The author also argues that many of Tagore’s views are easily translatable into modern social theoretic concepts through textual strategies and translations of hitherto neglected works. The book shows how the poet is sometimes blinkered by the prism of colonialism, but generally transcends it, to echo or anticipate the voices of greatest social theorists on the most existential issues of our times.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
