Nationalism
by Rabindranath Tagore
Nationalism brings together Rabindranath Tagore’s reflections on the modern nation, political identity and the dangers of allowing organised power to overwhelm human values. Written during a period of intense global conflict and rising nationalist movements, these essays challenge readers to consider the difference between love for one’s country and unquestioning devotion to political machinery. Tagore argues that societies must preserve human freedom, cultural exchange and moral responsibility even while confronting political and economic pressures. His perspective is shaped by both Indian experience and a wider international outlook. Thoughtful and often prophetic, Nationalism remains important because it addresses questions that continue to matter: how communities define themselves, how power is organised and how people can balance collective identity with universal human dignity.
