The Home And The World

Book • 1916
Rabindranath Tagore's 'The Home and the World' is set in early 20th-century Bengal and explores the tensions between traditional Indian values and emerging nationalist ideals.

The novel centers on a love triangle involving Nikhil, his wife Bimala, and his friend Sandip, each representing different facets of the era's social and political landscape.

Nikhil, a progressive zamindar, encourages Bimala to engage with the outside world, leading her to become involved in the Swadeshi movement.

Sandip, a charismatic nationalist leader, captivates Bimala with his fiery rhetoric, drawing her away from Nikhil's more moderate and rational approach.

The novel delves into themes of love, duty, nationalism, and the complex interplay between personal relationships and broader social movements.
