Rabindranath Thakur was born in Calcutta on May 07, 1861. His father
Devendranath Thakur was a well known social and religious leader.

In school, Rabindranath found the teaching too elementary. It did not take his
teacher long to recognise his high intelligence. He was given ‘Macbeth’ to translate and to
everyone`s surprise Rabindranath made a very good translation into Bengali. However his
limitless curiosity to know more and newer things could not be satisfied in school. It was
therefore, decided to withdraw him from there. For four years, from the age of thirteen to
seventeen, he studied a wide variety of subjects at home. About the same time he was
drawn to nature and arts.

From 1881 onwards his talent as a writer expressed itself in the form of countless
compositions in poetry, drama, music, fiction, philosophy and painting. He wrote nearly
50 plays, 100 books of verse and 40 volumes of fiction and philosophical writings.

In 1901, he founded a school at Shantiniketan near Bolpur in Bengal. In1922 it was

changed into an international university called Vishvabharti.

The work which brought him universal recognition was a collection of poems
named ‘Gitanjali’. This won him Nobel Prize in literature in 1913 and made him
internationally famous.
Rabindranath was a great nationalist and patriot. He felt so bitter about the
Jallianwala Bagh tragedy in 1919 that as protest, he gave up knighthood which the British
had awarded him earlier.

government campaigns too.
When people take selfie and post it on social media, they get “likes” and “shares”. It
