The correct answer is: D. Rabindranath Tagore.
Rabindranath Tagore was an Indian 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 “Gitanjali”, he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. He was also a pioneer in the development of modern Indian art.
Tagore was born in Kolkata, British India (now Kolkata, West Bengal, India) in 1861. 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 began writing poetry at a young age.
In 1883, Tagore married Mrinalini Devi, the daughter of a Brahmo Samaj leader. The couple had five children, two of whom died in infancy.
Tagore began his literary career as a poet. His first collection of poems, “Sandhya Sangeet” (Evening Songs), was published in 1882. He went on to write several more collections of poems, as well as novels, short stories, essays, and plays.
Tagore was also a painter and musician. He founded the Shantiniketan school of art and music in West Bengal in 1901.
In 1913, Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his “comprehensive, many-sided and deeply moving verse, which interprets the spirit of India.” He was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Tagore died in 1941 at the age of 80. He is considered one of the most important figures in Indian literature and culture.
