Discussion: The Home and the World

Author: Rabindranath Tagore

Description: In "The Home and the World," Rabindranath Tagore explores the tensions between nationalism and personal relationships during the early 20th century in colonial India. The novel is set against the backdrop of the Swadeshi movement, which called for the boycott of British goods. Through the lives of its three main characters—Nikhil, Bimala, and Sandip—the narrative examines themes of freedom, love, and the impact of political movements on personal lives. Tagore critiques the rise of aggressive nationalism and the effects it has on the human spirit, emphasizing spiritual unity over political division.
