Hardcover. Condition: New. The idea of doing something to redeem the neglected village came to Rabindranath Tagore when he first went to live in his family's agricultural estates in East Bengal during the 1890s. As manager of those estates, he got his first exposure to the countryside and its stark miseries. The experience played a seminal role in turning him into a man of action. The present book, A History of Sriniketan, explores Tagore's attempt to inspire the deprived sections of rural society to self-reliance and to make them economically independent by setting up a centre for rural reconstruction called Sriniketan as a wing of his Visva-Bharati International University at Santiniketan in 1922. The idea was pioneering in its times as an endeavour for improving the condition of the peasantry by using scientific methods of cultivation through laboratory experiments where the expert and the peasant collectively participated. To achieve all this, he sent his eldest son, Rathindranath Tagore, to the USA, for studying agriculture. He also invited Leonard Knight Elmhirst, the internationally known agriculturist, to come and stay in Sriniketan for a year. There was a parallel effort to revive the traditional rural arts and crafts as a means of creativity and economic recovery. Tagore's independent thinking gave him the courage of conviction to work alone with his ideas of rural reconstruction outside the Nationalist Movement. He was not one to accept that all improvements had to wait for our country's political independence.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. Rabindranath Tagore saw himself primarily as a poet. Yet, beyond his literary legacy, there was another pursuit that defined his life's purpose—his devotion to education. He regarded his work in this field as his life's mission, culminating in the establishment of Visva- Bharati University. Nestled in the twin campuses of Santiniketan and Sriniketan in rural southern Bengal, about a hundred miles northwest of Calcutta, this institution became the heart of Tagore's existence. Complementing the author's previous work, A History of Sriniketan: Rabindranath Tagore's Pioneering Work in Rural Reconstruction (2022, Niyogi Books), this volume delves into Tagore's visionary approach to education. His educational model was groundbreaking from launching an experimental school in 1901 to founding an international university and an institute of rural reconstruction in 1921-1922. It was designed to transcend borders, promoting a shared global humanity rather than conforming to the rigid framework of nation-states. Tagore's dedication to this cause reflected his ideals of an inclusive and non-parochial nationalism, emphasizing self-respect as the key to India's progress. He never viewed the modest scale of his endeavour as a limitation; rather, he saw it as a necessary step towards setting a precedent for the nation. His vision was never just theoretical—it was always deeply rooted in action. …
