There are few other books details Tagore family repressive view on Muslims and lower caste people. That's why I was asking him to hit the library rather than spoon feeding him.
Now its amusing to see he wants link for the book. Perhaps he is crippled by shock.
Here are some details of Tagore view and activities:
Dear Readers
Interesting... I am confused whether those eggs layed by Chicken or Horse...
Tagore was not a politician but a writer. He might had different views in his different span of life. We should judge him as a writer not as a politician.
...Judging as a writer (efficacy of his writing) is not enough. We must see how as a man (his views and ideology & practice) he was---at least before taking his song as National Anthem.
You dont expect him to be an angel. After all he is a human being and were influenced (which is very slim) by the society and politics at that time. Nazrul's disablity came from severe infection of Syphilis whice damaged his brain cell and yet we try to say to the world that it was the conspiracy of British. We must be fair in our critics and judgement...
"Views and ideology & practice" refers to "those...towards others". It does not really include "too personal" follies or weakness.
Tagore was against 'partition of Bengal' and consequent betterment of East Bengal's population that comprised Muslims and Hindus both---with Muslim majority. He was against establishment of Dhaka University---later known as Oxford of the Orient---that helped sons of Muslim peasants get higher education.
These issues really matter. How his song can represent the same very land and its people to which he was strongly averse ? The land and its people, too, have own dignity.
Well Bengal partition was a controversial move and everybody took either side and had their own logic. Even in Lahore proposal it was agreed that Bengal will not be divided due to the creation of Pakistan.
I dont know about the Dhaka University, as why would he oppose to that? Any link to that incident? I am really interested as it is new to me.
...May anyone help iajdani as regards the link requested ?

I wasn't around when this song was chosen as national anthem of BD and if it ever come to my decision than I wouldn't hesitate a second to scrape it. I think it a disgrace that we have a song as our national anthem written by non Muslim who isn't even Bangladeshi. This song doesn't represent Muslim Bengal at all and I am positive that Tagore wasn't picturing Muslim Bengal in his song. He was anti Islamic enough to vote against establishment of Dhaka University.
