This scholarly work examines how the teachings of the Sikh Gurus influenced the intellectual and social thought of Rabindranath Tagore. Chhanda Chatterjee argues that Tagore looked to the Sikh Gurus and the Bhagats represented in the Guru Granth Sahib as sources for an indigenous form of modernity rooted in Indian traditions rather than Western models. The book explores Tagore's views on nationalism, spirituality, social harmony, and cultural identity, highlighting the role of Sikh thought in shaping his vision for India's future
