Question

what are the contributions made by the poet Rabindranath Tagore

Answer 1

Tagore’s ideas on education reflected a revolt against the traditional forms of education in India. He grew up at a time when the newly established universities of Calcutta, Bombay and Madras were busy bringing out Macaulay’s brown sahibs. The elitism of the British education policy was reflected in the rejection of Gokhale’s primary education bill in 1912.

Shantiniketan was established in 1909 and similar private initiatives were evident in the establishment of the Dayanand Anglo-Vedic college in Lahore, which eventually spread over entire North India. Sir Sayyed Ahmed Khan’s Aligarh Muslim University, Madan Mohan Malaviya’s Benaras Hindu University and Swami Shradhananda’s Gurukul at Hardwar are among such initiatives.
