Gitanjali is the essence of innermost thoughts of Rabindranath Tagore and it is such a delight to flip through the pages, walking barefoot in history and feeling the warm grains of sand slip beneath your feet. A wonderful compilation of the poems that are more of prayers to the divine to ask for awakening of inner strength and peace. Out of the two aspects of the Gitanjali, the first one is the conversation between God and the poet himself, wherein he bares his soul and asks the divine to awaken his countrymen to see how the country id being exploited at the hands of Britishers and rise up to fight for their motherland. ,The great and legendary author and poet of India needs no introduction when it comes to his vision and ideologies that reverberate even today in his works. In this book, Rabindranath Tagore has spoken about idea of nationalism and how it is important in order to ensure harmony and order in a society. He also spoke about basic human rights that are quintessential for the progress of any country. Tagore also brought to light the origin of caste system and how it has come to cripple the society. He drew attention to the cultural ethos of Japan, where the country has been able to maintain a fine balance between modernity and also retaining it's spiritual and humanitarian essence.
