SUMMARY:Nationalism and Culture
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to remember Tagore today? \nNot as ritual\, but as reckoning. In a world marked by conflict\, his critique of nationalism feels urgent. He warned against power without conscience\, and progress without moral anchor. Like Gandhi’s “eye for an eye\,” Tagore spoke against forms of nationalism that erode the values they claim to protect. For him\, a nation drew strength from moral courage\, education\, and inner freedom. Its purpose was the welfare of humanity. \nMarking his birth anniversary\, this evening brings together Tagore scholars to reflect on his global outlook and humanist vision. The programme also weaves in music\, with Rabindra Sangeet and Baul compositions rooted in the Sahajiya tradition\, an inward path to spiritual realisation. Drawing from a shared cultural inheritance across Bengal\, these songs echo Tagore’s engagement with Baul philosophy and its search for liberation. \nThe evening concludes with an audience Q&A. \n
