    • According to Radha Krishnan –”Rabindranath did not
    claim to produce any original philosophy. His aim
    was not to analyze or speculate about the Indian
    tradition .He expressed in his own vivid phrases
    and homely metaphors, and showed its relevance
    to modern life.”
    • In the words of H.B.Mulherji –”Tagore was the greatest
    prophet of educational renaissance in modern
    India. He waged ceaseless battle to uphold the
    highest educational ideal before the country, and
    conducted educational experiments at his own
    institutions, which made them living symbols of
    what an ideal should be.”
