Nationalism is a powerful and thought-provoking collection of essays and lectures by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore that explores the true meaning of nationhood and humanity. Written during a time of rising political tensions across the world, the book questions blind patriotism and aggressive nationalism that divide people instead of uniting them.
Tagore offers a deeply humanistic perspective, urging societies to value compassion, culture, and universal brotherhood over narrow political identities. Through lectures delivered in Japan and the United States, he discusses the dangers of materialism, imperialism, and mechanical state power.
Blending philosophy, history, and spirituality, the writing encourages readers to think critically about freedom and responsibility.
His ideas remain strikingly relevant today, making this book a timeless reflection on global harmony and ethical citizenship.
Clear, poetic, and intellectually rich, it appeals to students, thinkers, and anyone interested in India’s intellectual heritage.
Perfect for readers of political philosophy and classic literature.
A must-read classic that inspires deeper understanding of nation, society, and humanity.
