Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore, a Nobel Laureate in Literature (1913), was one of India’s greatest poets and the composer of both India’s and Bangladesh’s national anthems. Renowned for his work in various literary genres, he was primarily a poet, publishing over 50 volumes of poetry. Born in Calcutta, Tagore later traveled the world, gaining international recognition. He was knighted in 1915 but renounced the honor in protest after the 1919 massacre of demonstrators in India.
