Abstract

Indian values in literature are mirrored in the literary works of the Indian literary personalities in general and Rabindranath Tagore in particular. In Tagore’s literature and art, Indian civilization is presented through various ways; it reflects the age-old Indian values, Indian life, Indian traditions etc. with diverse dimensions. India is present in any language he writes and any form of literature he chooses. Rabindranath Tagore is an apostle artist whose many-sided interest proved that he had an integrated vision of life.  Tagore was intensely concerned with the basic values of life in any form of art he had articulated. In this paper, I shall focus upon Indian values reflected in Indian English Literature with reference to Tagore’s novel Home and the World. The three main characters of the novel portray different personalities and thus reflect the innate Indian values especially humanism and womanhood.
