Even though Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore agreed on many points on the matter of education, there were some discernible and significant differences too. Gandhiji was highly critical of Western civilisation and the prominence of machines and technology in it. On the other hand, Tagore wanted to combine elements of modern Western civilisation with what he saw best within Indian culture. He often emphasised the need to teach science and technology at Santiniketan along with art, music and dance.
