The first Asian Nobel laureate, Rabindranath Tagore, was born into a well-known Tagore family in Calcutta. His family was well-versed in the educational, economic, social, cultural, and religious movements of the 19th-century Bengal Renaissance. In addition to being a writer and poet, he carried Indian culture and education. Through his writing, he presents India to the globe. As a poet, writer, novelist, essayist, playwright, short story writer, composer, painter, actor, social reformer, philosopher, and educationist, he has presented himself in a variety of ways. Currently, as an educator, his educational philosophy and educational thinking have been highlighted. This study examines Rabindranath Tagore's educational philosophy and considers its applicability to the modern educational system.
