Nationalism

Rabindranath Tagore, the eminent Indian poet, philosopher, and Nobel laureate, offered a nuanced perspective on nationalism in his collection of essays titled “Nationalism.” Published in 1917 during a critical period in India’s struggle for independence, Tagore’s work challenges the prevailing notions of blind patriotism and warns against the dangers of a narrow, exclusionary form of nationalism. Tagore’s critique centers on the idea that aggressive nationalism can lead to division, conflict, and dehumanization of those outside the national boundary. He emphasizes the importance of embracing a broader, humanistic identity that transcends artificial borders, advocating for a sense of unity that is inclusive and respectful of diversity. --- Product Features --- Weight: 0.12, kg Written_By: Rabindranath, Tagore Publisher: Fingerprint!, Publishing Book Type: Non-Fiction Best For: Literary, Theory|History, &, Criticism Ages: 16+ Binding: Paperback Edition: 1, September, 2015 Isbn: 978-8175993105 Language: English Pages: 120 Printing Remarks: Premium, (Local, Print) Dimension: 20, x, 14, x, 4, cm Total Pages: 120
