Publisher's Synopsis
Ghar Aur Bahar: Large Print By Rabindranath Tagore There is much controversy over whether or not Tagore was attempting to represent Gandhi with Sandip. Many argue that Tagore would not even venture to personify Gandhi in his characters because Tagore was a large admirer of Gandhi. Also, Gandhi was against violence, while Sandip would utilize violence to get what he wanted. The book shows "the clash between new and old, realism and idealism, the means and the end, good and evil" (p xxiv) within India and southern Asia.
