Answer 1

Initially, just a raconteur, the patriotic spirit and powerful literary works of Rabindranath Tagore brought him in the mainstream during the freedom struggle. He not only captured the depth of the nation’s feelings in his poem ‘Into That Heaven of Freedom’ but also brought many nationalists, to tears. Where the mind is without fear And the head is held high, Where knowledge is free, Where the world has not been broken up, Into fragments by narrow domestic walls, Where words come out from the depth of truth, Where tireless striving stretch its arm towards perfection, Where the mind is led by thee into ever-widening, Thought and action into that heaven of freedom, My Father, Let my country awake. As a nationalist and a patriot poet, Rabindranath Tagore influenced both the masses as well as the leaders of the national movement. His literary works generated a spirit of freedom for liberating India from colonization. Next, he was on a poetic mission to save the then nation from slavery. All his works ignited passion and united the common man to come together to join the national struggle. He even gifted India her national anthem, a prose paraphrase of which he read at Over Town Hall as part of his world famous essay ‘My Interpretation of India’s History. The national anthem was composed for the Brahmo Samaja anniversary in 1912. The inspiration and patriotic spirit generated by this song was considerable and immeasurable. The song generated a sense of national unity during the days of freedom struggle which made India stronger than ever before. That poem made one of the makers of modern India. He was a seer and national builder.
