149. Rabindranath Tagore on Crisis in Civilization... in 1941 and today.

Rabindranath Tagore was a great Bengali and Indian writer who won the Nobel Prize in 1913, just before the world went to war. In 1941, in the depth of World War Two he wrote his essay, "Crisis in Civilization". I read the full essay, and introduce you to the reasons Tagore still speaks so powerfully to India and the world today.
