"Rabindra Nath Tagore was an man of the soil and had a very deep sense of love and affection for man of the society and man of the nation. He could realize that man's life in that society can never be peaceful where illiteracy, narrow-feeling, untouchability prevail. These are powerful enough to arrest the social progress. What we need today is proper education, fellow-feeling, co-operation and development of human values. He wanted to create a society where man can live fearlessly. His social ideal is expressed in his poetry, drama, novel and stories." (jacket)
