Description
The profound thought of Rabindranath Tagore on Indian history and his prose writings reflecting on a range of themes from the ancient to the modem era have been brought out in this fine collection. Rabindranath was interested in the political, economic and constitutional progress of India and his quest for knowledge of India's past had flowed together touching upon various aspects of Indian culture and tradition. His early writings were dominated by nationalist impulse strongly advocating against the Euro- centric view of Indian history, but later he presented it very objectively and sought the voice of reason. His view of the reconstruction of the history of India was although similar to the feeling of the then many educated Indians, his historical consciousness had taken the form of an intensely personal vision of history.
