Abstract: This article examines how Rabindranath Tagore’s practical experiences as a zamindar fundamentally shaped his literary output, demonstrating that his authentic portrayal of colonial economic exploitation emerged from lived encounters rather than theoretical observation. Through analysis of his economic initiatives—particularly the Patisar Krishi Bank and Sriniketan project—and major literary works including Ghare Baire, Red Oleanders, and Nastanirh, this study reveals how Tagore’s first-hand economic experiences informed his critique of capitalism, nationalism, and materialism in literature.
Keywords: Rabindranath Tagore, Colonial Economics, Zamindar System, Rural Banking, Economic Literature.
