Tagore and Poetries
Tagore's poetry-which varies in the classical style, the formalism
of comic strips, visionary and ecstatic-product of a lineage
established by the 15th and 16th century Vai??ava poets. Tagore
was also influenced by the mysticism of rishi-songwriters
who wrote Vyasa-including the Upanishads, the Sufi mystic
Bhakta-Kabir, and Ramprasad. Yet the poetry of Tagore has
become more innovative and mature after his exposure to the
rural folk music of Bengal, which included Baul ballads sung
by popular singers, especially the bard Lalan Sah. -- Those
who have been rediscovered Tagore and popularized by the 19th
century hymns Kartabhaja resemble the divinity that emphasize
the inward and rebellion against social and religious orthodoxy.
During his Shilaidaha years, took his poems on a lyrical quality,
speaking via maner manus (Bauls man "in the heart")
or meditating on the jivan devata ( "God living within").
This figure sought through the framework of a call to the
divinity of nature and the interaction of the emotional human
drama. Tagore used these techniques in his poems Bhanusi?ha
(which chronicled romance between Radha and Krishna), which
he revised several times during the seventy years.
Rabindranath Tagore's political views
Marked complexity characterize Tagore's political views. He
criticized European imperialism and supported the Indian nationalist
and although he himself has vehemently denied at the time,
the evidence produced during the Hindu-German Conspiracy trial,
as well as certain accounts later, he was aware of the conspiracy
and even interviewed the then Japanese Prime Count Terauchi
and former Prime Minister Count Okuma on behalf of the conspirators
to try to mobilize support from Japan. However, he also lampooned
the Swadeshi movement, he denounced in "The Cult of Charka",
a test of 1925 acres. Instead, he insisted on self-help and
the intellectual masses, saying that British imperialism was
a major no evil, but instead a "political symptom of
our disease Social, urging Indians to accept that "there
can be no question of revolution blind, but constant and deliberate
education."
Such views inevitably angered many, putting his life in danger:
during his stay in a hotel in San Francisco at the end of
1916, Tagore barely escaped the assassination by Indian expatriates.
The plot was not only because the would-be assassins fell
into an argument. Yet Tagore wrote songs lionizing the movement
for the independence of India and has renounced his knighthood
to protest against the Amritsar massacre of 1919. Two of Tagore's
compositions more politically charged, "Chitto Jetha
Bhayshunyo" ( "Where the mind is without fear")
and "Ekla Chalo Re" ( "If they No Answer your
call, Walk Alone"), acquired masses, The latter the favoured
by Gandhi. Despite its tumultuous relationship with Gandhi,
Tagore was an essential element in the resolution of a dispute
involving Gandhi-Ambedkar separate electorates for the untouchables,
which ends Gandhi fast "until death".
Tagore also criticized Orthodox (rote based) education, lampooning
it in the short story "The Parrot's Training", where
a bird who dies ultimately-is caged by tutors and force-fed
pages torn from books. These views Tagore conduct during the
visit of Santa Barbara, California, on October 11, 1917, to
design a new type of university, eager to "make [his
ashram at] Santiniketan thread between India and the World
... [And] Global Centre for the Study of Mankind ... Somewhere
beyond the limits of the nation and geography. "The school
he named Visva-Bharati-has its foundation stone laid on December
22, 1918; later he was inaugurated on December 22, 1921. Here
brahmacharya teaching Tagore established a structure that
employs gurus provide individualized advice for students.
Tagore worked hard to raise funds and personnel for the school,
even contributing all his Nobel Prize money. Tagore's functions
as guardian and mentor to Santiniketan kept busy, he taught
in the classroom morning and students writing of textbooks
in the afternoon and evening. Tagore has also extensively
fundraised for the school in Europe and the USA between 1919
and 1921.
