Rabindranath Tagore was a Bengali polymath who reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of over 1,000 songs, including “Amar Shonar Bangla”, which became the national anthem of Bangladesh, and “Jana Gana Mana”, which became the national anthem of India, he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.
Tagore was born in Calcutta, British India (now Kolkata, India), into a wealthy Bengali family of zamindars (landowners). He was the youngest of 14 children of Debendranath Tagore, a religious reformer and founder of the Brahmo Samaj, and Sarada Devi. Tagore was educated at home by private tutors and was exposed to Western literature and philosophy from an early age.
In 1878, Tagore traveled to England to study law at University College London. However, he soon abandoned his studies to focus on his literary career. He returned to India in 1880 and began writing poetry, short stories, and essays. He also founded a school in Shantiniketan, West Bengal, which became a center of Indian art and culture.
Tagore’s work was influenced by a variety of sources, including Indian philosophy, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Western literature. He was a master of both Bengali and English, and his work has been translated into over 50 languages.
Tagore’s most famous works include the novel Gora (1907), the short story collection Chokher Bali (1902), and the collection of poems Gitanjali (1910). Gitanjali was translated into English by Tagore himself and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.
Tagore was also a prolific painter and musician. He composed over 2,000 songs, many of which are still popular in India today. He also painted over 2,000 paintings, which are now displayed in museums around the world.
Tagore was a complex and multifaceted figure who made significant contributions to Indian literature, art, and music. He was a pioneer of Indian modernism and his work continues to be read and admired around the world.
