About TSH

Get to know us

Tagore Society of Houston (TSH) is a non sectarian, non religious, non-political organization, established in 1974, with the sole purpose of disseminating the universal ideas and philosophy of Rabindranath Tagore who, in 1913, became the first non-European poet to win the Nobel prize for Literature. Not just a poet and philosopher, Tagore was a social activist, incessant world traveler, education innovator, and creative genius who revolutionized the medium of song, dance and dance-drama in his native Bengal. He became world renowned for the mystic nature of his poetry, his humanistic ideals and outspoken advocacy for a borderless world.

Our Mission

Three principles that are the cornerstone of our mission:

• To propagate Rabindranath Tagore’s humanistic philosophy of universalism and its relevance in the new globalized world

• To extend appreciation and share the universality of Tagore’s thoughts, ideals and philosophy

• To promote unity in the diversity of cultures and to advocate the totality of human civilization.

Team

Our team consists of passionate volunteers whose primary motivation is spreading the universal messages of Rabindranath Tagore.

In addition to the passionate volunteers, we have an elected executive board, our up-and-coming young leaders make up the executive coordinators and finally the stewards of the society - our Board of Directors.
