The year 2021 marked the centenary of Visva-Bharati, a university located in Shantiniketan, West Bengal, India. It was founded by Rabindranath Tagore who called it Visva-Bharati, which means the communion of the world with India.
To celebrate this occasion The Tagore Centre UK has published this collection of articles – written by distinguished scholars from around the world – that are broadly based on Tagore’s educational ideas and ideals which he expressed through Visva-Bharati over the last 100 years.
Visva-Bharati represents India where she has her wealth of mind which is for all. Visva-Bharati acknowledges India’s obligation to offer to others the hospitality of her best culture and India’s right to accept from others their best.
Rabindranath Tagore
The editors of the book hope that the poet’s aspiration that India’s obligation to offer others the hospitalities of her best culture and India’s right to accept from others their best, becomes a living symbol of that aspiration in our modern time.
