Rabindranath Tagore : Indian Nobel in Literature
Rabindranath Tagore, a Bengali poet, known by Gurudev, Kabiguru, and Biswakabi, was a polymath, poet, musician, and artist from the Indian subcontinent . He became the first non-European to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Gurudev was born on 7th May 1861 in the Jorasanko mansion in Calcutta. His father was Debendranath Tagore and mother was Sarada Devi.
Kabiguru Rabindranath's traditional education began in Brighton, England, at a public school. I am feeling extremely privileged to say that, I have visited this place. He was sent to England in the year 1878 as his father wanted him to become a barrister.
In 1891 Tagore went to Shilaidah ,East Bengal and there he often stayed in a houseboat on the Padma River in close contact with village folk, and his sympathy for them became the keynote of much of his later writing.
Rabindranath's father had bought a huge stretch of land in Santiniketan. With an idea of establishing an experimental school in his father's property, he shifted base to Santiniketan in 1901 and founded an ashram there. I am feeling blessed to say that, I can connect with this place as my wife Debotri belongs to shantiniketan.
Rabindranath Tagore believed in the concept of one world, he set out on a world tour, in countries like the United States, Japan, Mexico, Singapore and Rome, where he met national leaders and important personalities including the likes of Einstein and Mussolini. In 1927,
He settled permanently at the school, which became Visva-Bharati University in 1921. Though he dad written thousands of poems, songs, short stories, acts but the years of sadness arising from the deaths of his wife and two children between 1902 and 1907 are reflected in his later poetry, which was introduced to the West in Gitanjali (Song Offerings) (1912). This book, containing Tagore's English prose translations of religious poems from several of his Bengali verse collections, including Gitanjali (1910), was hailed by W.B. Yeats and André Gide and won him the Nobel Prize in 1913.
