Rabindranath Tagore: His Life and Thought 17 CHAPTER 2 Society, Marriage and Education As already noted in the previous chapter, one’s deepest identity, according to Rabindranath, is that which binds one with one’s fellow humans. But under actual social conditions, problems arise which adversely affect this interrelation and, indeed, gnaw at the very vitals of a society. In this and the following chapter we consider the social and political issues to which Tagore gives serious thought in his various writings. As we shall see, his reactions and suggestions, approval and disapproval are all motivated by his dream of a beautiful society, of a better human universe. A distinction between the social and the political, while rough and ready, is a convenient one to draw. Accordingly, the present chapter is devoted to aspects of Tagore’s social thinking, while in the following chapter we turn to his more specifically political views on, for example, Gandhi’s Non-Cooperation Movement.
