Youth Education

Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941), the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, was a prolific writer. He left, as a legacy, many poems, essays, novels, plays, and songs, written in both English and Bengali. Tagore was an ardent believer in the beauty of humanity, with strongly anticolonial and antinationalist views. This essay explores his beliefs about youth, education, and pedagogical practices, through his poetry anthologies on childhood and his prose writings on nationalism and education. It argues that his vision of childhood represents the confluence of his educational philosophy and his imaginings of nascent Indian nationhood. Furthermore, Tagore’s indigenization of the Romantic child, and his establishment of a native pedagogical system based on Romantic ideals, provides the Global South with a path to decoloniality which avoids both the violence of extreme nationalism and the symbolic violence perpetuated by colonial education systems.

Education In India

One of the important aspects of educational philosophy is that it helps to construct a comprehensive system of education. During different periods, India has witnessed various stages of development. New priorities have emerged in education with the influences of monastic scholastic, realistic, idealistic and pragmatic trends. While education institutions have evolved, there remain several gaps between the philosophical ideals proposed by educational institutions and their everyday functioning. The paper brings forth the urgent need to bridge the gaps in order to attain a comprehensive philosophy of education, in principle and in action. The authors posit that the Indian philosophy of education, normatively speaking, could extend the culture and tradition of the philosophical positions of Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Sri Aurobindo and Swami Vivekananda. Such an approach could help in developing an integrated approach of teachers towards education and assist in strengthening their role in shaping the inner potential of a learner in a constructive manner.

In literary works, truth and beauty have been expressed in a varied number of ways by authors of all genres. Rabindranath Tagore and John Keats, two prominent writers from two languages have linked beauty and truth in philosophical manners in many of their writings. Beauty and truth are not separate entities; they flow from the same spring. Tagore views beauty as linked to eternal characteristics of nature and truth is associated with it. Keats sees beauty from spiritual perspective and according to him, realization of truth leads to the fulfillment of beauty. Readers of Tagore and Keats get eye-opening insights from the viewpoints that are followed by their expressions in regarding the tenets of truth and beauty. Truth and beauty fulfill each other in their harmonious existence in the universe. The authors make us realize that beauty does not emanate merely from sensual pleasure; it is an abstract idea, a spiritual understanding that originates from rhythmic attachment with truth. This article compares and contrasts philosophies of truth and beauty from the writings of Tagore and Keats. In doing so, the paper investigates the literary works of the two writers and explores how they have philosophized truth and beauty in the domain of human thought as well as in the realm of spiritual discipline.
