Rabindranath Tagore (Bengali: রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর) (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941) was a poet of India. His name is written as Rabindranath Thakur in Indian languages. He was also a philosopher and an artist. He wrote many stories, novels, poems and dramas. He is also very well known for composing music. His writings greatly influenced Bengali culture during the late 19th century and early 20th century. In 1913, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. He was the first Asian to win this prize.NATIONALISM is an Essay by Rabindranath Tagore. It includes -NATIONALISM IN THE WEST NATIONALISM IN JAPANNATIONALISM IN INDIA &THE SUNSET OF THE CENTURY

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was the first Asian to win a Nobel Prize. Nationalism is based on lectures delivered by him during the First World War. While the nations of Europe were doing battle, Tagore urged his audiences in Japan and the United States to eschew political aggressiveness and cultural arrogance. His mission, one might say, was to synthesize East and West, tradition and modernity. The lectures were not always well received at the time, but were chillingly prophetic. As Ramachandra Guha shows in his brilliant and erudite Introduction, it was by reading and speaking to Tagore that those founders of modern India, Gandhi and Nehru, developed a theory of nationalism that was inclusive rather than exclusive. Tagore s Nationalism should be mandatory reading in today s climate of xenophobia, sectarianism, violence and intolerance.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

“Nationalism in the West” is one of a series of lectures delivered throughout the United States during the winter of 1916-17. "Nationalism in Japan" is based upon two lectures delivered in Japan before the Imperial University and the Keio Gijuku University in June and July, 1916. "Nationalism in India," written in the United States late in 1916, is the poet's reflection upon the state of his own country, and gives world-wide completeness to the discussion of Nationalism. The poem at the conclusion of the book, “The Sunset of the Century,” was written on the last day of the last century.

I know not who paints the pictures on memory's canvas; but whoever he may be, what he ispainting are pictures; by which I mean that he is not there with his brush simply to make afaithful copy of all that is happening. He takes in and leaves out according to his taste. Hemakes many a big thing small and small thing big. He has no compunction in putting intothe background that which was to the fore, or bringing to the front that which was behind.In short he is painting pictures, and not writing history.Thus, over Life's outward aspect passes the series of events, and within is being painted aset of pictures. The two correspond but are not one.We do not get the leisure to view thoroughly this studio within us. Portions of it now andthen catch our eye, but the greater part remains out of sight in the darkness. Why the everbusy painter is painting; when he will have done; for what gallery his pictures aredestined—who can tell?Some years ago, on being questioned as to the events of my past life, I had occasion to pryinto this picture-chamber. I had thought to be content with selecting some few materialsfor my Life's story. I then discovered, as I opened the door, that Life's memories are notLife's history, but the original work of an unseen Artist. The variegated colours scatteredabout are not reflections of outside lights, but belong to the painter himself, and comepassion-tinged from his heart; thereby unfitting the record on the canvas for use asevidence in a court of law.But though the attempt to gather precise history from memory's storehouse may befruitless, there is a fascination in looking over the pictures, a fascination which cast its spellon me.The road over which we journey, the wayside shelter in which we pause, are not pictureswhile yet we travel—they are too necessary, too obvious. When, however, before turninginto the evening resthouse, we look back upon the cities, fields, rivers and hills which wehave been through in Life's morning, then, in the light of the passing day, are they picturesindeed. Thus, when my opportunity came, did I look back, and was engrossed.
