Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a towering figure in India's
intellectual and cultural landscape. He was not only a writer,
artist, music composer and a philosopher but also a world
traveller. He travelled to more than 34 countries in his lifetime
and these travels left a deep impact on him. According to Humayun
Kabir, travel not only broadened his selfhood, it also contributed
to his philosophy of internationalism and the development of his
institution, Visva-Bharati. He believed that inclusivism and
synergic interaction between cultures would propel the world
towards harmony and global fellowship. Tagore was a curious and
keen observer of socio-political life in the numerous countries
that he visited. He made an immense contribution to the making of
modern India and left a deep imprint on leaders like Pandit
Jawaharlal Nehru and Sarojini Naidu. This book explores Tagore's
travels, and assesses the extent to which he was influenced by his
visits and the deep impression he left on the countries he visited.
Here, experts from India and several countries to which Tagore had
travelled offer an array of perspectives on Tagore's thoughts and
vision. They examine how his journeys contributed to his philosophy
of internationalism, universalism, humanism, spiritual unity and
the religion of man. The volume also illuminates the influence of
Tagore's ideas upon the evolution and continuing ethos of Indian
foreign policy.
