About Rabindranath Tagore
Rabindranath Tagore was an Indian poet, writer, musician, painter, philosopher and politician. His writings are considered the epitome of Bengali literature and several of his short stories and novels have been translated into many languages and have subsequently been adapted into movies. He is best remembered for Gora, Kabuliwallah, The Home and The World and Choker Bali. He was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, largely for the English translation of Gitanjali. He was also conferred a knighthood by the British Empire which he renounced to protest against the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
