Rabindranath Tagore's Restless Spirit : Versatility and Contradiction

In this episode of The Mad Genius Thesis Podcast, we explore the life and legacy of Rabindranath Tagore, as chronicled in the biography by Krishna Dutta and Andrew Robinson. A poet, philosopher, artist, and Nobel laureate, Tagore’s genius transcended borders, yet his life was shaped by personal loss, existential struggles, and emotional turmoil. How did his encounters with Western and Eastern cultures, his fraught relationship with Gandhi, and his pioneering educational vision at Shantiniketan influence his creative output? Did his deep introspection and moments of melancholy fuel his artistic brilliance? Join us as we uncover the complex interplay between Tagore’s mental state, his literary genius, and his lifelong quest for meaning.
