Mittwoch | 16.15 Uhr | Negotiating Hindu Indegenism Negotiating Hindu Indigenism Rabindranath Tagore and the Problematics of Cultural Reform in a Postcolonial Society Dr. Sayan Chattopadhyay, Indian Institute of Technology, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences The paper seeks to explore the conflict between the desire to emulate aspects of the colonising culture and the growing assertion of Hindu indegenism that characterised the middle-class intellectual discourse of the late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Bengali society. Rabindranath Tagore as one of the foremost intellectual figures of colonial Bengal participated in this debate through a series of socio-political essays written during the turn of the century.
