The Three Tagores, Dwarkanath, Debendranath and Rabindranath: India in Transition
The three Tagores represent three different eras of British colonialism in India; beginning with Dwarkanath, born in 1794, and ending with his grandson Rabindranath, who died in 1941. The Three Tagores, Dwarkanath, Debendranath and Rabindranath: India in Transition analyses the history of the modern British period of undivided Bengal in setting of the three Tagores. Rather than providing a biographical study of the three most pivotal figures of the Tagore family, this work sees their lives as a prism through which to understand the complex unfolding of India’s socio-economic and cultural milieu during the onset, high-noon and decline of colonial rule in India. Limning the experiences and activities of the three Tagores with reference to the contexts in which they lived, this work offers the missing link in our understanding of renaissance in India.

The Three Tagore's India in Transition. 2022.
A complete overview of Dwarkanath, Debendranath and Rabindranath Tagore's contributions to the Indian nation.
Well written and presented so that each of their personalities is discussed and many examples of the Tagore's higher moral ambitions for India as a whole are viewed.
Three generations of the same family made their mark using different methods and of course Rabindranath won the Nobel prize for literature in 1913.
Later in 1915 he was awarded a knighthood by King George which he renounced after the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre in Amritsar.
A very interesting read and each Tagore has already a vast number of books about their lives.
Great bibliography too.
