Mashi , Rabindranath TagoreEssentially a Renaissance man, Rabindranath Tagore was a socially conscious. An early advocate of the Independence of India, Rabindranath in his novels raised a silent protest against the socio-political repression and suppression. Combining the traditional Indian culture with Western ideas, Rabindranath Tagore was first to bring an element of psychological realism to his novels. Truly a modern man, Rabindranath Tagore, advocates for the freedom of women. The common homespun women of the aristocratic family were the important characters he deals with. Tagore in his novels verbalized the women empowerment and his women have the verve of energy, which makes them come out from the uncomplicated family life and participate in the radical politics. In the contemporary patriarchal society, Rabindranath Tagore, deviates from the normal trend and etched out the women as the sole power.

Much of Tagore`s ideology, as is revealed in his writings comes from the teaching of the Upanishads and from his own beliefs that God can be found through personal purity and service to others. He stressed the need for new world order based on transnational values and ideas, the unity consciousness. Politically active in India, Tagore was a supporter of Gandhi, but warned of the dangers of nationalistic thought. Unable to gain ideological support to his views, he retired into relative solitude. And during this solitude he traveled widely and produced a number of travel accounts, which are the treasures of the Indian Literature. A genius Rabindranath Tagore is considered as one of the famous luminaries of Indian Literary World.
