Humanism is emphasizing the importance of human beings –their nature and place in the universe. It means love of man with all his flaws and fallacies. It is an attitude that concentrates on the activities of man more than the super natural world. During the colonial rule, the British lost their humanity and were brutal and cruel towards their fellow- beings. Many novelists used their pens to protest against the violence of the British. Rabindranath Tagore is one of them who used his pen over swords to vehemently protest against the cruelty meted out to his fellow- beings. In this paper, I shall discuss on humanism as a concept in Indian English Literature with reference to Tagore’s novel Home and the World. The three main characters of the novels portray different personalities and thus reflect humanism.
