[mukto-mona] Why attack Tagore. Is it intellectual generosity?

I wonder how generous is it to attack Tagore ignoring his genius?  How much darkness one can bring on his character by pointing out his weaknesses only? Voltaire had many faults as a person but people who write or talk about him at the end they call him the most perfumed personality of the French culture. His faults vanish into the thin air in the face of his creative genius. Unleashing an intellectual assault any one is never unacceptable but a balance is maintained if it's even handed. We do not show any generosity by eulogising ones contribution for making history; rather it proves our ability to understand that person. The genius of Tagore is so fathomless that it becomes a matter of grace for many to understand him. He is easy but tough for any one whose mind is not wise enough. W.B.Yeats wrote in 1912,'I read Rabindranath every day, to read one line of him is to forget all the troubles of the world,'
