Answer 1

Answer:

Rabindranath Tagore was a Bengali poet, short-story writer, song composer, playwright, and painter. He introduced new prose and verse forms and the use of colloquial language into Bengali literature, helped introduce Indian culture to the West and vice versa, and is generally regarded as the outstanding creative artist of early 20th-century India.

Explanation:

Rabindranath Tagore published several poetry collections, notably Manasi (1890), Sonar Tari (1894; The Golden Boat), and Gitanjali (1910); plays, notably Chitrangada (1892; Chitra); and novels, including Gora (1910) and Ghare-Baire (1916). He also wrote some 2,000 songs, which achieved considerable popularity among all classes of Bengali society.

In 1913 Rabindranath Tagore became the first non-European to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. Tagore was awarded a knighthood in 1915, but he repudiated it in 1919 as a protest against the Amritsar (Jallianwala Bagh) Massacre.
