Book excerpt: Born in 1861, Rabindranath Tagore came on the Indian scene at a time when the Indian national movement for freedom was beginning to take shape. Brought up in the environment of the Bengal renaissance and modernizing influence of the English education in India. Tagore absorbed the new learning and made it his own. Tagore always appreciated the culture and civilization of the west, but he never failed to condemn the colonial hunger of England and other European countries. The third- world literatures and critical theory of Post - colonialism, are deeply rooted in the history of imperialism. The postcolonial discourse, pervading both creative and critical third - world writings, embraces the domains of race and ethnicity, sex and class.
