Tan, Chung. (editor)

Tagore and China / edited by Tan Chung, Amiya Dev, Wang Bangwei - 1st ed. - New Delhi : SAGE Publications India Pvt. Ltd , 2011. - 370 p. ; 24 cm.

Published to commemorate Rabindranath Tagore's 150th birth anniversary, this book presents the first comprehensive account in English of his historic 1924 visit to China and its civilizational impact. Drawing from extensive Chinese and Indian archival sources, the essays explore the "Tagore fever" that swept China, his intimate friendship with his interpreter, the poet Xu Zhimo, and the mixed reactions from Chinese radicals. It also documents the subsequent establishment of the Cheena-Bhavana at Visva-Bharati under Tan Yun-shan, highlighting how Tagore's vision remains an enduring bridge for modern Sino-Indian cultural understanding.
