His efforts to engage others in the exchange of ideas through aesthetic means is driven by a passion for cultural dialogue and service. These values are part of the Tagore family legacy. Rabindranath Tagore worked tirelessly through his life encouraging others to break free from “narrow domestic walls,” as he put it, through social justice and a universalism that merged the best ideas of East and West. His well-known dialogues with other great thinkers of his era, including Albert Einstein, Pablo Neruda and W. B. Yeats, centered on universalism and the fundamental questions of human existence. Thanks to Sundaram’s father, Subho Tagore, one of India’s first modernist painters, a poet and a magazine publisher who was raised by Rabindranath, Sundaram was surrounded by the most interesting thinkers, writers, artists, journalists and musicians of the day.
