Pochishe Boishakh!
Women of different age groups paid tribute to “the great poet and writer” Rabindranath Tagore on Pochishe Boishakh.
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.
He was the first non-European to win Nobel Prize in literature for his collection of poems– Gitanjali for “profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse”. After being translated to English, Gitanjali gained Rabindranath Tagore the Nobel Prize in literature in 1913.Tagore is often referred to as “the Bard of Bengal”.
His compositions were chosen by two nations as national anthems: India’s Jana Gana Mana and Bangladesh’s Amar Shonar Bangla. The Sri Lankan national anthem was inspired by his work.
Tagore contribution to Indian literature is considered unparalleled, however his legacy also endures in the institution he founded, Visva-Bharati University.
