This tendency thrives under reformist zeal; for example resistance to publish texts like Raas Panchadhyayi, or claiming it as  interpolation. This gaze wishes to superimpose post-enlightenment values upon Religion.

Though Einstein concedes that Tagore is right as far as the perception of beauty is concerned, he finds it hard to go along with the poet when it comes to truth or the nature of reality itself, writes @MakrandParanspe t.ly/0Ed-t

Rabindranath Tagore belonged to the lowered untouchable Bengali Pirali caste. Even after winning the Nobel Prize, when he visited Puri, he never entered the temple as that would have been like breaking the law.

Despite Sanskritisation, the Pirali caste remained low and polluted.

Kolkata's bhadralok never accepted Tagores as one of them.

Rabindranath wrote his magnum opus, Gora, and settled his score with Brahmin orthodoxy once and for all.

Tagore’s Gora is one of the finest anti-caste books ever written.

Within its pages, the fair-skinned young chap Gora reveled in the cloak of Brahmin supremacy. Yet, fate's cruel twist darkened his life when his father breathed his last.

Denied the sacred rite of Antim Samskara, for his lineage revealed him as not a Brahmin, Gora's world shattered into pieces upon the cold floor of reality.

He was actually the abandoned son of a British family. Devastation gripped his soul, and he confronted the falsehood of caste pride, a burden or glory he had borne throughout his earthly existence.

It is in these literary moments of grappling with life's deepest intricacies that the true greatness of Rabindranath Tagore emerged. 

His unwavering commitment to truth shone as a guiding light in the darkness of societal prejudice.

His literary legacy, enriched by 'Gora' and other profound works, continues to inspire generations, illuminating the path towards a more egalitarian  world.

He mercilessly trolled “swarajjst” activism in Ghare Baire. Basically reduced them to fund filcher, luxury seeker, seducer of trusting friends wife, politically and economically morons. Hence by definition anti Gandhian.

In chaturanga he is at his scathing best blackpilliing on women and female sexuality. In char addhyay he trolls armed leftist urban Naxals. Specifically uses “party” so there is no doubt.

Even managed to sound as excusing Stalinist orgy of the Red Terror/great purge as inevitable part of profound transformation of nations. So yes, his writings provide quite a different picture than his latches on.
