The profound thought of Rabindranath Tagore on Indian history and his prose writings reflecting on a range of themes from the ancient to the modem era have been brought out in this fine collection. Rabindranath was interested in the political, economic and constitutional progress of India and his quest for knowledge of India's past had flowed together touching upon various aspects of Indian culture and tradition. His early writings were dominated by nationalist impulse strongly advocating against the Euro- centric view of Indian history, but later he presented it very objectively and sought the voice of reason. His view of the reconstruction of the history of India was although similar to the feeling of the then many educated Indians, his historical consciousness had taken the form of an intensely personal vision of history.

This book has been prepared with great expectations. The relevance of dynamism in Gandhian thought, percept and vision could guide the concerned citizens and policy makers in the search for solutions. Each of the seven sins identified gets organically linked to the remaining six. Hopefully, it would provide sparks for further study and analysis of how the ideology of progress that India deserves could evolve, taking the best from outside but retaining the flavour of the indigenous thought and wisdom. Indian democracy, with all its lacunae and inadequacies, has certainly made aware a large chunk of its citizens of their responsibilities and duties. The young are now alert to their own role that the country expects them to perform. The idealism of the youth, strengthened with inputs from Gandhian thought and approach, could be sustained on a strong base of value development strategies. An emerging knowledge society must derive strength from its existing cognitive capital and its analysis and contemporary relevance could always bring in substantial additions and advancements. Those, to whom this volume could reach, may be better prepared to contribute effectively to the cause of the nation building.
