Rabindranath Tagore

Biography

Rabindranath Tagore 1861-1941 was the youngest son of Debendranath Tagore a leader of the Brahmo Samaj which was a new religious sect in nineteenth-century Bengal and which attempted a revival of the ultimate monistic basis of Hinduism as laid down in the Upanishads. He was educated at home and although at seventeen he was sent to England for formal schooling he did not finish his studies there. In his mature years in addition to his many-sided literary activities he managed the family estates a project which brought him into close touch with common humanity and increased his interest in social reforms. He also started an experimental school at Shantiniketan where he tried his Upanishadic ideals of education. From time to time he participated in the Indian nationalist movement though in his own non-sentimental and visionary way and Gandhi the political father of modern India was his devoted friend. Tagore was knighted by the ruling British Government in 1915 but within a few years he resigned the honour as a protest against British policies in India. Tagore had early success as a writer in his native Bengal. With his translations of some of his poems he became rapidly known in the West. In fact his fame attained a luminous height taking him across continents on lecture tours and tours of friendship. For the world he became the voice of India s spiritual heritage and for India especially for Bengal he became a great living institution. Although Tagore wrote successfully in all literary genres he was first of all a poet. Among his fifty and odd volumes of poetry are Manasi 1890 The Ideal One Sonar Tari 1894 The Golden Boat Gitanjali 1910 Song Offerings Gitimalya 1914 Wreath of Songs and Balaka 1916 The Flight of Cranes . The English renderings of his poetry which include The Gardener 1913 Fruit-Gathering 1916 and The Fugitive 1921 do not generally correspond to particular volumes in the original Bengali and in spite of its title Gitanjali Song Offerings 1912 the most acclaimed of them contains poems from other works besides its namesake. Tagore s major plays are Raja 1910 The King of the Dark Chamber Dakghar 1912 The Post Office Achalayatan 1912 The Immovable Muktadhara 1922 The Waterfall and Raktakaravi 1926 Red Oleanders . He is the author of several volumes of short stories and a number of novels among them Gora 1910 Ghare-Baire 1916 The Home and the World and Yogayog 1929 Crosscurrents . Besides these he wrote musical dramas dance dramas essays of all types travel diaries and two autobiographies one in his middle years and the other shortly before his death in 1941. Tagore also left numerous drawings and paintings and songs for which he wrote the music himself.
