Tagore and the Sikh Gurus: A Search for An Indigenous Modernity

The volume tries to portray how Rebindranath Tagroe looked back to the teachings of the sikh gurus and the Bhagats of the shri Guru Granth Sahib like Ramanand, Kalbir and Ravidas for resolving the crisis of india unity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The so-called nineteenth century india Renaissance had failed to reach the Muslim minority and the most numerous section of the population-the untouchables.
