Rabindranath Tagore (born Robindronath Thakur, Bhanu Singha) and also known by his pen name Bhanu Singha Thakur (Bhonita), as well as Brahmen Gurudev, Kabiguru, and Biswakabi, was a transcriber and artist from the Indian subcontinent.

He reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early twentieth centuries.

Gitanjali's author, "acute, fresh, and beautiful poem," was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.

Tagore's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial, but his "elegant prose and magical poetry" remained relatively unknown outside of Bengal.

He is often described as "the Bard of Bengal," a Brahmo from Calcutta with ancestral gentry roots in Jessore. Tagore's eight-year-old poet wrote poetry as an eight-year-old.

He wrote his first substantive poems under the pseudonym Bhanusi?ha ("Sun Lion"), which literary authorities confiscated as long-lost classics at the age of sixteen.

He began publishing his first short stories and dramas under his real name by 1877.

He condemned the British Raj and argued for independence from Britain as a humanist, universalist, and ardent anti-nationalist.

He pushed a large canon that contained paintings, sketches, and books, as well as two thousand songs; his legacy also endures in Visva-Bharati University, which he founded, by inverting draconian styles and avoiding linguistic constraints.

His books, stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays addressed political and personal topics.

Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora (Fair-Faced) and Ghare-Baire (The Home and the World) are his best-known scripts, as well as their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism, and unnatural contemplation.

His compositions were chosen by two nations as national anthems: Jana Gana Mana of India and Bangladesh's Amar Shonar Bangla.

His work inspired Sri Lanka's national anthem.

Life and events

Tagore (nicknamed "Rabi"), the youngest of 13 children to survive in Calcutta, was born on May 7th, 1861-1850) and Sarada Devi (1830–1875).

Tagore was mainly raised by servants; his mother died in his early childhood and his father travelled widely. The Tagore family was at the forefront of Bengal's revival. They published literary magazines; theatre and recitals of Bengali and Western classical music were regular performances; and Western classical music was on display at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Several top Dhrupad players were invited by Tagore's father to stay in the house and teach Indian classical music to the children. Dwijendranath, Tagore's oldest brother, was a scholar and writer. Satyendranath, the first Indian civilian to be a member of the European Union and the first European Indian Civil Service to be all-European. Jyotirindranath, another brother, was a singer, composer, and playwright. Swarnakumari's sister became a novelist. Kadambari Devi, a little older than Tagore, was a loyal friend and a strong influence in Jyotirindranath. Her unexpected death in 1884, just after he married, left him profoundly distraught for years.

Tagore largely skipped classroom instruction and instead enjoyed strolling Bolpur and Panihati, which the family visited. Hemendranath's brother trained and physically fit him, whether by swimming the Ganges or trekking through hills, by gymnastics, and practicing judo and wrestling. He learned drawing, anatomy, geography, and history, literature, mathematics, Sanskrit, and English—his least favorite subject. Tagore loathed formal education; his academic careers at the local Presidency College spanned a single day. He continued to believe that proper teaching does not explain things; proper education sparks wonder:

Tagore and his father travelled to India for several months after experiencing the Himalayan hill station of Dalhousie in February 1873. Tagore studied biography, astronomy, modern science, and Sanskrit, as well as examining Klid's classical poetry. He was greatly influenced by melodious gurbani and nanak bani baniayuan, who were frequent visitors to Golden Temple in 1873, where both father and son were regular visitors. In his My Reminisces (1912) he talks about this. (1912)

He wrote six poems about Sikhism as well as a collection of articles about Sikhism in Bengali children's magazine. Tagore returned to Jorosanko in 1877 and completed a series of major works, one of which was a long poem in the Maithili style of Vidyapati. These were the undiscovered works of newly discovered 17th-century Vainness poet Bh.nusiha, as a parody. Regional experts accepted them as the fictitious poet's forgotten works. With "Bhikharini" ("The Beggar Woman"), he made his debut in Bengali's short-story genre ("The Beggar Woman"). Sandhya Sangit (1882), "The Rousing of the Waterfall," was published in the same year.

Tagore enrolled in a public school in Brighton, East Sussex, England, 1878, because Debendranath wanted his son to be a barrister. He stayed at a house rented by the Tagore family in Medina Villas in 1877; his nephew and niece, Suren and Indira Devi, were sent together with their mother, Tagore's sister-in-law, to live with him. He briefly read law at University College London but then dropped out of school and went back to school to study Shakespeare's Coriolanus, Antony and Cleopatra, and Thomas Browne's Religio Religio. Tagore was captivated by live English, Irish, and Scottish folk music, whose own tradition of Nidhubabu-authored kirtans and tappas, as well as Brahmo hymnody was subpoenaed. In 1880, he returned to Bengal degree-less, seeking to reconcile European novelty with Brahmo traditions while still taking the best from each. Tagore began publishing poems, stories, and novels in Bengal after returning to Bengal. These had a major effect in Bengal itself, but received no national attention. Mrinalini Devi, a Bhabatarini, 1873–1902 (this was a normal practice at the time), married 10-year-old Mrinalini Devi in 1883, 1883–1902 (this was a common occurrence at the time). They had five children, two of whom died in childhood.

Tagore began governing his vast ancestral estates in Shelaidaha in 1890 (today, a part of Bangladesh); he was first introduced by his wife and children in 1898. Tagore published his Manasi poems (1890), one of his best-known works. The Padma River was criss-crossed by Zamindar Babu, Tagore, in command of the Padma's command, a luxurious family barge (also known as "budgerow"). He collected mainly token rents and blessed villagers who in turn lauded him with banquets, mainly dried rice and sour milk. He met Gagan Harkara, who became familiar with Baul Lalon Shah's folk songs, which greatly inspired Tagore. Lalon's songs were widely circulated by Tagore. Tagore's Sadhana period, 1891-1895, was his most popular; in those years he wrote more than half of the three-volume, 84-story Galpaguchyha's stories. Its tragic and tragic stories explored an idealized rural Bengal's voluptuous poverty.

Tagore moved to Santiniketan in 1901 to find The Mandir, an experimental academy, groves of trees, gardens, and a library. His wife and two of his children died in the hospital. In 1905, his father died. He was paid monthly as part of his heir and fortune from Maharaja's Maharaja, sales of his family's jewelry, his seaside bungalow in Puri, and a derisory 2,000 rupees in book royalties. He pleased Bengali and foreign readers alike; he published Naivedya (1901) and Kheya (1906) and converted poems into free verse.

Tagore converted his 1910 work Gitanjali into English in 1912. These poems were shared with followers including William Butler Yeats and Ezra Pound while on a trip to London. The India Society in London released the work in a limited edition, and Poetry, a newspaper in the United States, published a selection from Gitanjali. Tagore learned he had been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature that year, and for Westerners, is more accessible, and the Swedish Academy acknowledged the 1912 Gitanjali's narrow body of his translated material, which was also focused on the 1912 Gitanjali: Song Offerings. In the 1915 Birthday Honours, King George V was given a knighthood, but Tagore renamed it after the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre. In a letter sent to Lord Chelmsford, then British Viceroy of India, "the disproportionate severity of the sentences levied against the unfortunate citizens and the methods of executing them are without parallel in civilized society," Tagore wrote.

Syed Abdul Majid, the president and chairman of Anjuman-e-Islamia, received him in 1919 for the first time. Over 5000 people attended the festival.

Leonard Elmhirst, a local economist and economist, founded the "Institute for Rural Reconstruction," later renamed Shriniketan or "Abode of Welfare" in Surul, a village near the ashram. Tagore attempted to moderate Gandhi's Swaraj demonstrations, which he occasionally blamed for British India's apparent mental – and ultimately colonial – decline. "Free village[s] are rescued from the shackles of helplessness and ignorance" by "vitalis[ing] knowledge," he needed assistance from donors, officials, and scholars around the world. He vowed to have ambient "abnormal caste consciousness" and untouchability in the early 1930s. He penned Dalit heroes for his books and plays, and he lobbied to open Guruvayoor Temple to Dalits, and he did a good job.

Dutta and Robinson describe this period of Tagore's life as one of a "peripatetic litterateur." Human divisions were deemed as insignificant, according to the minister. "Our prophet has said that no one of his brothers, not even the least of his brothers, will ever do harm," Tagore wrote in his diary, "I was taken aback to recognize in his words the voice of essential humanity." Tagore criticized tradition, and in 1934, he struck a new one. Thousands of people were killed in Bihar last year. Gandhi praised it as divine vengeance for the oppression of Dalits. Tagore was chastised for his ostensible ramifications. In an unrhymed hundred-line poem whose style of dazzling double-vision foreshadowed Satyajit Ray's film Apur Sansar, he mourned the continuing poverty of Calcutta and Bengal's socioeconomic decline. Punashcha (1932), Shes Saptak (1935), and Patraput (1936) were among fifteen new volumes published, among them prose-poem works. Chitra (1914), Shyama (1939), and Chandalika (1938) — and in his books— Dui Bon (1933), Malancha (1934), and Char Adhyay (1934).

As hinted in Visva-Parichay, a 1937 collection of essays, Tagore's remittance widened to science in his last years. His poetry, which displayed a great deal of naturalism and verisimilitude, was influenced by his respect for scientific norms and his research into biology, physics, and astronomy. In Se (1937), Tin Sangi (1940), and Galpasalpa (1941). He converted the science, the stories of scientists, into stories. Chronic pain and two long bouts of illness marked his last five years. These began in late 1937 when Tagore lost consciousness; he remained comatose and near death for a time. In late 1940, a similar condition was followed by another, from which he never recovered. One of his finest writings from these vainitive years is poetry from his time as a poet. Tagore's death on August 7, 1941, aged 80, brought an end to a period of continuing agony. He was in an upstairs room of the Jorasanko mansion in which he grew up. The date is also remembranced. Sen. K. Sen. Sen. John Confederate, brother of the first chief election commissioner, was dictated by Tagore on the 30th of July 1941, a day before a planned operation: his last poem.
