Answer to Question #143237 in Philosophy for manisha

Question

What is the concept of nation and nationalism, according to
Tagore? Do you think that it represents the same idea of nationalism
popular in the contemporary world. explain in 1500 words

Answer 1

Regardless of having some fundamental differences with Mahatma, Tagore never compromised what he believed about things like nation, Indian nationalism, idea of India, and methods that most political leaders were taking, and therefore he never desisted speaking against Gandhi and other political leaders. He was no less patriotic to anyone else; however, mere political freedom was never in his priority list. Wellbeing of the humanity (including east and west) was the paramount concern for him.
