ACK-004 Rabindranath Tagore
1.
2. Presenting now is the best known Indian Poet. The only one so far, to
receive a noble prize for literature. The man is simply amazing in all
respect. Not many people possess so many artistic qualities of such high
standards. We owe our national anthem to him.
3. Rabindranath Tagore played a significant role in bringing about a new
awakening in India in the latter half of the nineteenth century. His life and
creative work provided the then Indian society with a purpose, direction
and a programme. The impact of his personality transcended his native
Bengal and came to be felt not only in other parts of India but also abroad.
Description:
4. Tagore was a genius with a many-sided personality. He was a poet, novelist,
dramatist, musician, short-story writer, teacher, painter, educationist,
philosopher and humanist. Shri Khanolkar, his biographer, describes his
life as 'a long dream of color and music, of beauty and heavenly genius,
such as this world has never known before'.
6. Perhaps no other contemporary Indian had such diverse interests as Tagore had.
He was a seeker. He wanted to understand himself; and that he could only do by
expressing himself. As the experiences and emotions differed, the media also
varied. That is how we have Tagore the poet, Tagore the composer, Tagore the
painter and so on.
7. Although a staunch nationalist, Tagore was a champion of internationalism,
touring various countries and pleading for 'one world'.
8. He has the unique distinction of being the only poet to have two of his
songs - Jana Gana Mana and Amar Sonar Bangla - adopted as the national
anthem of two countries, India and Bangladesh respectively. Shanti-
Niketan stands to this day as a living monument to the Gurudev. He
composed over 4,000 songs. His compositions have come to be known as
Rabindra Sangeet.
