Rabindranath Tagore and Sickularism

Rabindranath_tagore

Rabindranath Tagore as an intellectual of high order was deeply derisive of sickular thinking. 

Today, Tagore's Gitanjali wont pass the sickular test, let alone win the Nobel Prize. In Gitanjali, Tagore envisaged an India “.Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit”.

Tagore envisaged an India where native Dharma (clear stream of reason) trumps desert dogmas - islam, christianity (dreary desert sand of dead habits); very reverse of sickularism.

In his remarkable work, Sandip’s story, one can see how derisive, Tagore was on sicko thinking, demolishing it.
