What is Rabindric Fundamentalism about?
The document discusses Rabindric fundamentalism in Bengal in response to comments made about Rabindranath Tagore by writer Khushwant Singh. It argues that some in Bengal see even mildly critical remarks about Tagore as blasphemous, in a similar way that religious fundamentalists react to criticism of their figures. It also critiques how Calcutta University was willing to name a chair after a foreign leader but not local writers in Indian languages.
