"Rabindranath Tagore's Socio-political ideas despite not having succeeded in mobilizing support to the extent he expected, continue to remain relevant not merely as a package for intellectual rejuvenation but also a meaningful device for Socio-economic transformation for the globe as a whole. This is where the poet stands out not only as a poet but also a visionary who charted a course of action in tune with human betterment cutting across all kinds of man-made barriers and customary restrictive social, economic and political practices"-- Provided by publisher.
