Nationalism

More about the book

Exploring the concept of nationalism, Rabindranath Tagore critiques its dangers through four essays and a poem, presenting it as a social construct aimed at mechanical ends. He delves into the dark realities of Western nationalism and warns against the spiritual idealization of nations. By examining nationalism's complexities and its implications for India, Tagore asserts that there is a singular human history, with national narratives merely serving as chapters within the broader story of humanity.
