This book explores the shifting perspectives of Bengalis towards English rule and education against the backdrop of modernity. Initially seen as symbols of progress, English rule and education underwent a transformative journey over the centuries. Through the eyes of Rabindranath Tagore, the narrative unfolds, revealing how English rule, once instrumental in preparing Bengal for reasoning and knowledge, eventually became, in Tagore's eyes, the creator of 'Garbage of bankruptcy.' The book delves into the transition of English rule from a contributor to progress to a broker of communalism, as reflected in Rabindranath's writings.
