Satish Kumar speaks about Rabindranath Tagore as an Educator.
Renowned as a famous songwriter, prolific painter, author and visionary poet, the Nobel Laureate was also an activist and educator.
Key to his work on Rural Reconstruction was the school he founded -
Shantiniketan. Tagore created a form of authentic education, which he believed was more true to the needs children growing up in rural India than conventional schooling.
