His perspectives on Muslims would not agree with most Muslims today. He spilled a great deal of awkward truth. Additionally, he was one of the first writers in Quite a while attempting a tryst with authenticity. This made him much more clear about civilisational ethos.

Adding on to the reality, he was deceived by Mohammad Ali (one of the Ali siblings of the renowned Khilafat development in India) on an answer he looked for. Rabindranath never minced his words from expressing reality. That is the explanation, he was classified "Gurudev"

Here is his opinion about Muslims in those days:

A significant factor which is making it practically incomprehensible for Hindu-Muslim solidarity to turn into a refined actuality is that the Muslims can not keep their enthusiasm to any one nation. I had honestly asked (the Muslims) regardless of whether in case of any Mohammedan force attacking India, they (Muslims) would stand next to each other with their Hindu neighbors to safeguard their regular land. I was not happy with the answer I got from them… Even such a man as Mr. Mohammad Ali (one of the popular Ali siblings, the heads of the Khilafat Movement-the compiler) has pronounced that by no means is it admissible for any Mohammedan, whatever be his nation, to remain against any Mohammedan."

Rabindranath Tagore, Interview of Rabindranath Tagore in 'Seasons of India', 18-4-1924 in the segment, "Through Indian Eyes on the Post Khilafat Hindu Muslim Riots"

There are two religions in earth, which have unmistakable animosity against every single other religion. These two are Christianity and Islam. They are happy with noticing their own religions, however are resolved to crush every other religion. That is the reason the best way to make harmony with them is to grasp their religions."

Unique works of Rabindranath Vol. 24 pages 375, Vishwa Bharti; 1982)

Presently, these words may show up excessively blistering and even biased from the eyes of today. Nonetheless, we have to comprehend that Rabindranath was not off-base too. The Abrahamic religions (mainly Christianity and Islam) do pay attention to proselytisation very. In Hindu religion, there was no such models until late 70s with ISKCON (a portion of the disciples of which don't recognize as Hindu all things considered). On the off chance that you don't hold fast to their methodologies, you would get lost. In any case, to keep up some feeling of dignity nobody says on the face.

Rabindranath Tagore later explained his assertions (however didn't withdraw) by the accompanying in his work, Parichaya:

At the point when two-three unique religions guarantee that lone their own religions are valid and all different religions are bogus, their religions are just approaches to Heaven, clashes can not be kept away from. Consequently, fundamentalism attempts to cancel every single other religion. This is called Bolshevism in religion. Just the way appeared by the Hinduism can ease the world from this ugliness.

R. Tagore, 'Aatmaparichapa' in his book 'Parichaya'

Individuals may ponder that Ambedkar excessively existed during this time and he composed searing remarks against Hindus, likely ten or after twenty years. How did Rabindranath have such a positive assessment on Hindus at that point? All things considered, Rabindranath was presumably living in a phase where casteism was more regrettable. How did such oddity exist inside the musings of nonconformists in the bygone eras?

One additionally needs to see that Bengal had been the center point of social transformation for right around a long time since Raja Ram Mohun Roy (1814) got back to Kolkata and began interpreting the Mahabharata from Sanskrit to Bengali. Casteism was practically torpid, contrasted with rest of India. In Bengal, the thing that matters was pretty much based on inequity as zamindars and venders would presumably be far down the hierarchy in the event that we took a gander at standing chains of importance as a stone monument. The casteism was controlled down positively in Bengal than most states. Consequently, such a good feeling on Hinduism. Likewise, Rabindranath Tagore was an essayist second to none against rich versus helpless disparity. His heavenly verse Dui Bigha Jomi which is promoted as a film called Do Bigha Zameen is a demonstration of that. Balaka, Chandalika and so forth are others. At the point when he was approached by Gandhi to compose for his Harijan magazine, he promptly composed a sonnet, 'The Sacred Touch' for the Harijan volume 1, no 7 (25th March 1933).

Be that as it may, the first inquiry was not about different standings. How about we keep on observing his opinion about Muslims.

At whatever point a Muslim called upon the Muslim society, he never confronted any obstruction he brought for the sake of one God 'Allah-ho-Akbar'. Then again, when we (Hindus) call will call, 'gone ahead, Hindus', who will react? We, the Hindus, are partitioned in various little networks, numerous hindrances provincialism-who will react defeating every one of these impediments? "We experienced numerous risks, yet we would never be joined together. At the point when Mohammed Ghouri brought the principal blow from outside, the Hindus couldn't be joined together, even in the those long stretches of fast approaching threat. At the point when the Muslims began to wreck the sanctuaries in a steady progression, and to break the icons of Gods and Goddesses, the Hindus battled and kicked the bucket in little units, however they couldn't be joined together. It has been given that we were slaughtered in various ages due to out strife.

"Shortcoming harbors sin. Thus, if the Muslims beat us and we, the Hindus, endure this without opposition at that point, we will realize that it is made conceivable simply by our shortcoming. For ourselves and our neighbor Muslims likewise, we need to dispose of our shortcoming. We can interest our neighbor Muslims, 'Kindly don't be remorseless to us. No religion can be founded on massacre' - yet this sort of allure isn't anything, however the sobbing of the powerless individual. At the point when the low weight is made noticeable all around, storm comes suddenly; it's not possible for anyone to stop it for purpose for religion. Essentially, if shortcoming is esteemed and be permitted to exist, torment comes naturally - it's not possible for anyone to stop it. Perhaps, the Hindus and the Muslims can make a phony kinship to one another for some time, however that can't keep going forever. However long you don't filter the dirt, which develops just prickly bushes you can't anticipate any natural product."

Swamy Shraddhanand, Kaalantar, 1927 (This is another of Tagore's best books)

I would demand individuals not to take a gander at Rabindranath Tagore from the eyes of how our general public lives today. Hindu and Muslim social orders had a ton of contention once upon a time. Unmistakably more than what happens now.

Tagore consistently remained against fundamentalism, differential treatment (casteism or some other) and constrained absolutism, be it any religion. Rabindranath Tagore opposed shameful acts (religious or pragmatic) inside the Hindu people group.

What's more, he did likewise against Islam and Christianity too.
