INTRODUCTION
To understand the promotion of Nationalism, Universalism and Secularism through
education with reference to Tagore and Krishnamurthy, let us first understand the
concepts of Nationalism, Universalism and Secularism.
Universalism: It means loyalty to and concern for others without regard to national or
other allegiances. It is a theological and philosophical concept with universal application
or applicability. Universalist doctrines consider all people in their formation.
3. Jiddu Krishnamurthy
J. Krishnamurthy was born on 11th May 1895 at Madanpalli in Chintoor district Andhra
Pradesh. He is such a philosopher who had laid emphasis on self-realization. His original,
revolutionary, meaningful and liberal views are invaluable heritage for the history of
Indian teacher. He was much influenced by nature. He wants that each individual should
know natural beauty and should not destroy natural beauty for the sake of his selfish
interests. According to him, the real philosophy is what awakens love for truth, love for
life and live for virtue.
4. Conclusion
Both Tagore and Krishnamurthy emphasized on moving away from old traditions, beliefs
and dogmas and embrace universal outlook for total progress. To do that, education
should be imparted in such a way that an individual can realize through enquiry and
experimentation. To really have peace and happiness, one needs to understand the world
as a whole, rather than partly.
