Abstract

Ecological or environmental consideration of the 20th century development has been attracting attention of the whole world‟s intellectuals for more than half a century. From early 20th century onwards a large number of writings that pointed out the danger of self-destructing nature of growth of the modern society. Thus the Ecological or environmental repercussions of all spheres of the world led the people to think about the new route of living process that can be continued over time. A thorough going visit to the literary world of Rabindranath Tagore presents ample evidences of his deep concern about nature and the self-defeating activities of the human race that have enormous bearing on environmental health. This paper attempts to focus on Tagore‟s consciousness and thought on environment and the lessons as is found in his many writings for ecological co-existence.
