Tagore’s legacy With his philosophy of aesthetic

humanism, Tagore advocated education in the truest sense of the word, an education that builds character, and awakens in the individual a sense of beauty and creative self-expression.

He represents and bridge between the East and the West and embodies the ideal that all humanity seeks, the ideal of unity in diversity.

He conversed on this ideal with great thinkers such as H.G. Wells, Albert Einstein, Romain Rolland and Mahatma Gandhi,
