Rabindranath Tagore founded the university Visva-Bharati in India; below are pictures of some of the scenes, including his home of Santiniketan, which you can read more about at the University’s website, here.
Modern Indian thought makes a noble attempt to get really clear about itself in Rabindranath Tagore. Born in 1861, he is at the same time thinker, poet, and musician. He has himself translated his important works into English.
My introduction tells a tale, beginning with this poem:
All the black evils in the world have overflowed their banks,
Yet, oarsmen, take your places with the blessing of sorrow in your souls!
Whom do you blame, brother?
