This is a reader's book. It looks at Tagore through his texts. It reades his novels Gora and Jogajog in depth, and Char Adhyay as a crucible of our time. His plays Dakghar and Muktadhara are taken up briefly but succinctly. That he is above all a poet is amply illustrated, not by his poems alone but songs-a principal thrust in these pages. His love of Nanak along with other medieval Sants is part of his vision of India.
