Nationalism (Pocket Classic)

Rabindranath Tagore's lectures on nationalism question what nations demand of people and where loyalty to humanity should sit beside loyalty to a state. Delivered during a period of war and rising political fervour and later collected as essays, the pieces weigh cultural identity, industrial organisation and moral responsibility, and they argue rather than instruct. Tagore's prose stays measured throughout, and this pocket edition presents the English text in a compact form for study or rereading. On the page: • Collected lecture essays rather than a single continuous argument • Reflections on cultural identity, society and political loyalty • A primary source for courses on political thought and South Asian history • Small format convenient for carrying to class or discussion groups Suited to students of politics and history, Tagore readers and discussion circles, available in the Pocket Classic format at Boipoka.
