Abstract: In Indian literature, Romanticism developed as a movement that combined elements of Western literary Romanticism with native customs. Nature, feelings, mysticism, and a close relationship with the god and oneself were all highlighted. In his poetry, one of India’s best writers, Rabindranath Tagore, represented these Romantic values by referencing nationalism, love, spirituality, and nature. Through a textual examination of Tagore’s poetry, this essay examines his Romanticism, stressing both his distinctive philosophical and cultural achievements and its links to Western Romantic philosophy. The study shows how Tagore reinterpreted Romanticism in an Indian setting by looking at themes of nature, emotional intensity, individualism, and nationalistic idealism in his writings.
