Rabindranath Tagore was one of the most leading poets in the history of world literature. He was bat the same time a poet, a novelist, a dramatist, a philosopher and a musician.

He was born into the renowned Tagore family in May, 1861. After the completion of his house education, he was sent to school. Bu he did not like institutional education. So, arrangements were made at house for his proper education. In his thirteenth year, Rabindranath along with his father went to visit Himalayas. At the age of seventeen, he was sent to London to study law. But he studied literature with Professor Henry Morely only for a few months and then returned home.

Only at the age of eight, he started composing poems. He wrote his poetic novel ‘Banaphul’ at the age of fifteen. When he was sixteen, his poems and essays were being published in journals. After returning from England, he began to write tirelessly in all branches of literature.

In 1911, he translated his poems of “The Gitanjali” into english which brought him the highest honour in the form of the Nobel Prize in 1913.

One year after his awarding the Nobel Prize, he was made a Knight by the British Government which he rejected as a protest against the atrocities of British Government at Jalianwalabagh. The University of Oxford honoured him with D. Litt. In 1940. Earlier in 1921, he laid the foundation of Viswa Bharati. At the age of eighty, Rabindranath Tagore breathed his last.
