Summary

Incest is defined as sexual relations between persons who are so closely related that their marriage is either illegal or forbidden by custom.

To be great is not merely to be talked about, it is also to be misunderstood, and Rabindranath has not escaped this fate. The many attempts made to explain him contradict each other, for "from the words of the poet men take what meanings please them." There are two views regarding his philosophy of life. If we believe one side, he is a Vedantin, a thinker who draws his inspiration from the Upanishads. We believe the other, he is an advocate of a theism more or less like, if not identical with, Christianity.
