Part II of a 2-part essay in defense of Rabindranath Tagore and Jana Gana Mana. The first appeared in Countercurrents in 2003. With the emerging fundamentalist intolerance and bigotry extending its ominious tentacles across India, the haven of diversity, tolerance (and, as Vivekananda said often, India was a land that went beyond tolerance, to acceptance) now vested in sectarian zealotry. Hence the urgency of this write-up.
