A review by aang1206
Nationalism by Rabindranath Tagore
5.0
The poet who knew much before than anyone else that nationalism would lead any country to doom. This book is more relevant to today's politics than any other day. This book was written in 1917 but is very much relevant even a century later.
Tagore has so much to say in this book but a few quotes that struck a chord with me are
"When this organization of politics and commerce, whose other name is Nation, becomes all-powerful at the cost of the harmony of the higher social life, then it is an evil day for humanity."
"... nations who sedulously cultivate moral blindness as the cult of patriotism will end their existence in a sudden and violent death."
One thing that is sure to be said is Tagore's worst fears have come true.
