| Summary | "Nationalism" by Rabindranath Tagore is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The text delves into the concept of nationalism, especially in the context of the Western world, Japan, and India. Tagore critiques the mechanistic nature of nation-states and emphasizes the importance of individual humanity, social cooperation, and spiritual unity over militaristic nationalism. The opening of the work sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of how different cultures face their historical challenges, with a particular focus on India's unique race problem. Tagore reflects on the internal struggles India has faced due to its diverse population and critiques how Western nationalism has influenced societal structures. He contrasts the superficial mechanics of the nation-state with the deeper spiritual and social bonds that truly define humanity, expressing a hope for a reconciliation between Eastern and Western values that honors human interconnectedness over mere political or national identities.
