DESCRIPTION
It is a book which looks at the Internationalism of three eminent Indians, Jawaharlal Nehru a statesman. Rabindranath Tagore a poet and Sri Aurobindo an activist, a philosopher and a spiritual leader from comparative perspective. In this book a detailed study is made of their international thought and how they tried to promote internationalism in practice. The book also compares their internationalist perspective of these three with the western perspective. As the author rightly stresses, "The intenationalist orientation in Nehru. Tagore and Sri Aurobindo could be seen even before India had become a nation state". The author tries to examine the causes of this orientation with reference to their socio-cultural political background and the need of internationalism as felt by these great Indians in terms of world context and the Indian context. All the three also felt that India could make significant contribution to the cause of internationalism as it possessed certain assets and had responsibilities to fulfil.
