I Write a precis of the following passage reducing it to one
third of its length:
Though Tagore was essentially a poet, he was more than
a mere poet as Gandhi was more than a mere politician.
His genius enriched whatever it touched. Like the sun
after which he was named (=Rabi means =the Sun) he
shed light and warmth on his age, vitalised the mental
and moral soil of his land, revealed unknown horizons of
thought and spanned the arch that divides the East from
the West. The vitality of his genius is truly amazing. No
less amazing are the variety and beauty of the literary
forms he created. He gave to his people in one life time
what other peoples have taken centuries to evolve - a
language capable of expressing the finest modulations of
thought and feeling, a literature worthy to be taught in
any university in the
world. There was no field of literary activity which was
not explored and enriched by his daring adventures, and
many of these were virgin fields in Bengali which his
hands were the first to stir into fruit fulness. He is one of
the worlds five writers whose works withstand the
challenge of the severest tests of modern times.

Answer: Rabindra Nath Tagore was as his name signifies like ever rising Sun for all age. He was also greater than the then politician Mahatma Gandhi who is named as Father of Nation. He opposed imperialism and supported Indian nationalists. He was and is long live poet forever in the whole world. Beyond the poet he is a great philosopher for Mankind. He was a Bengali polymath—poet, writer, playwright, composer, philosopher, social reformer and painter. Tagore modernised Bengali art by spurning rigid classical forms and resisting linguistic strictures. His literary activities were acclaimed—or panned—for their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism, unnatural contemplation and beyond the mind’s knowledge. He is among the world’s great five writers.
