ABSTRACT
While postcolonial India has largely ignored the diagnosis forwarded by Gandhi and Tagore, their inquiries may be more relevant to our contemporary predicament than we are willing to concede. In the conclusion, I raise the question of our life with concepts and what it means to take Gandhi and Tagore seriously in today’s context and continue the inquiry begin by them. The conclusion also considers how best we may inhabit the two traditions we have inherited and cultivate a global horizon of thinking even while we are attuned to the sensibilities of the local milieu.
