Benedict Anderson has argued that Europe and the Americas had provided India with the models of anti-colonial struggle and nation formation, which ultimately cut ways for her achievement of nationhood and freedom. This standpoint has been vehemently contested by Parth Chatterjee and others, who say that Nation formation process had two separate field of activities, one political and the other, spiritual. In the external, political sphere there may be some borrowings of pattern and models, especially in the Congress political programme. But the spiritual field did not allow any foreign direction and domination. Rabindranath Tagore is its classic example. Through his endless poems, songs, stories, articles, lectures, plays, novels and everything he has tried to build up an inner strength for his country. If the self honour and esteem is roused within the soul, he believed, no one could stop India from regaining her political freedom. But this preparation of the soil and soul is a serious issue and it requires extreme courage, love of truth and sacrifice. He examined the history of India, not imitating the process of foreign scholars, but in his own way, taking his cue from her silent yet vibrant culture. He, in one sense, tried to realize and reconstruct the true identity of India, a base upon which the nation was to be built. The present paper intends to examine this venture of Tagore with reference to his various representative works
