Rabindranath tagore, who died in the age of eighty, in 1941, is one of the greatest heroes in the annals of Bengal. Anyone familiar with this great and rich tradition will be impressed by the power of tagore 's presence in Bangladesh and India. His poetry and his novels, stories and essays are widely read and have a parallel to the songs written in eastern parts of India and throughout Bangladesh.
On the contrary, the excitement created by tagore in the rest of the world, especially in Europe and America, in the early twentieth century, has largely disappeared. His special zeal was welcomed once. His selection of poems geetanjali, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1913, was published in March in London in English translation and when the award was announced in November. Ten reprinted. But they have not yet been much read in the west and till 1937 graham green wrote :? "Whereas except rabindranath tagore, I cannot believe that Mr. Yeats still can take his poems seriously."

India's association with the Nobel Prize goes back, across centuries and latitudes. Poet, writer and thinker Rabindranth Tagore brought glory to the country when he became the first Indian to win the Nobel Prize for the country.

Ever since, nine other laureates with an India connection have been conferred the prestigious award in various categories, Abhijit Banerjee being the latest.
There were a few famous names who were nominated several times, but failed to bag the award. While Indian poet Sri Aurobindo was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1943 and 1950, the committee had considered Mahatma Gandhi for the Peace Prize five times in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947 & 1948 (days before his assassination).
Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel had drafted a will in 1895 where he reserved a large part of his estate to establish Nobel Prizes after concerns of how the world would remember him. He wanted the awards to be given to individuals (based on their achievements), annually, despite their nationality. He died in 1896.
It took nearly five years for the committee to set up, and the first set of awards for Physiology or Medicine, Chemistry, Literature, Physics and Peace were awarded in 1901. After 67 years, Sweden's central bank with donation from donation from the Nobel Foundation, established the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel in 1968.
