Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B are true

Rabindranath Tagore thought that childhood should be a time of self-learning instead of him/her being enclosed in four walls and pressurised to learn curriculum. Instead, a school has to focus on overall development of a child. Keeping this in mind he opened a school named 'Shantiniketan' which included dance, music and other arts along with curriculum. He also thought that Indian education has to be combined with elements of western education which prove best to Indian tradition.
