Roots of action research and self-reliance thinking in Rabindranath Tagore

Dhaka and Islamabad University; Research Initiatives, Bangladesh (RIB), Bangladesh.

The contribution of Rabindranath Tagore as a social action researcher to the origins of participatory action research are explored. The article explores his pioneering experiments to promote collective grassroots initiatives in rural West Bengal in the mid-20th century and outlines his philosophy of the Human Being, and of national independence and development that anticipated later-day thinking on self-reliant, participatory development.
