Answer:

Rabidranath Tagore was a polymath, poet, musician, and artist from the Indian subcontinent. He reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of the "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse" of Gitanjali, he became in 1913 the first non -European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Tagore's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal. He is sometimes referred to as "the Bard of Bengal".

Tagore modernised Bengali art by spurning rigid classical forms and resisting linguistic strictures. His novels, stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays spoke to topics political and personal. Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora and Ghare - Baire (The Home and the World) are his best-known works, and his verse, short stories, and novels were acclaimed - or panned - for their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism, and unnatural contemplation. His compositions were chosen by two nations as national anthems: India's Jana Gana Mana and Bangladesh's Amar Shonar Bangla. The Sri Lankan national anthem was inspired by his work.

My Favourite Author : Rabindranath Tagore.

Introduction -

I have read many books by different authors. But I like Shakespeare and John Bernard Shaw among English authors. ‘Dinkar’, Nirala and Tagore are my favourites among Indian authors. But I like Rabindranath Tagore most. He is one of the greatest poets of the world.

Birth and life of Tagore-

Rabindranath Tagore belongs to a very Respectable family of Bengal. He was born on 7th may 1861 at Jorsanko In Kolkata. His father’s name was Shri Devendranath Tagore. Rabindranath Tagore received elementary education at two schools of Kolkata. They were The oriental seminary and Calcutta Normal. Tagore sailed for England in 1871 for higher education. He joined the university of London. Tagore’s family life was very sad. He was married in 1888. But his Wife died in 1902. His second daughter died in 1904. His father passed Away in 1907. These sad events in life made Tagore more and More religious.

A great writer-

Rabindranath was a great writer. He was the editor .Of several magazines. Tagore’s “Gitanjali” is one of his best books. Some English poets like W. B. Yeats and Stopford Brook praised Tagore’s Gitanjali. His poems combine the tender humanity with a deep religious touch. And The Nobel Prize was awarded to him by the Swedish Academy, Balka and Purabi are his great creations. One of his greatest poetical dramas is Chitrangada. He also wrote some beautiful short stories.

A great lover of India—

Rabindranath was a great lover of India. He Raised his voice against the Britishers. He fought the war for freedom through His writings. Tagore was a great educationist also. He founded the Vishwabharti in 1901. He wanted to make India a home of culture and Education. It has become the famous university of the world. .But this great son of India died on 7th August 1941. Tagore is my Favourite author. He was a writer, educationist,

Social Reformer and patriot all combined in one.

As a seer-

Rabindranath was a seer. He was born to rule the hearts Of men and lead them from darkness to light, from ignorance to knowledge. His message had a universal appeal. He has taught us to love nature in Most intimate moods to be in communion which has enriched the literature That he has given us. He brought nature and man most closely together. He preferred the modern ideas of freedom in education and contact with Nature. No one in any quarter of the globe was there to whom freedom meant More in instruction in intimate contact with nature. He radiated his message To strive for freedom of speech and expression. Rabindranath too not only Loved India with devotion but he was proud of her physical beauties. He Said about his mother land “My country that is for ever India, the country Of my fathers the country of my children, my country has given me life and Strength. I shall be born in India again. With all her poverty, misery and Wretchedness, I love India best.” He believed that mere patriotism was not .Enough. He inspired his countrymen that patriotism should be from the taint Of narrow parochialism. We should place our love for mankind above all Local attachments. He taught us to find the beauty of human relationship Here and now, in the daily life of common people, Nationalism must lead To Internationalism. Man must love man whereever he is. It is with this ideal Which he preached tirelessly. He founded vishwabharti and made it the Centre of international studies. The ideal of Vishwabharti is “Where the whole World becomes a nest.”

His love for children-

Above all, was Rabindranath’s love for children.

He used to lose himself in joy when he taught little children. He was indeed A Gurudev, a great teacher on this earth. To more than a generation of Indians he stands in the position of a great teacher who taught them to learn A beautiful language to the finer shades of poetic art. He opened up to us Beauties of nature in a way which no one else did before. He has taught

Us. He depicted the infinite varieties of life for us and taught us to laugh .And weep at them. He has given a philosophy of life which is sublime.

Protector of self esteem-

He tried to raise the stature of self respect

In generation through inspiration. The one poem which inspires me is :

Where the mind is without fear and 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 depths of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary

Desert sand of dead habit ;

Where the mind is led forward by into ever widening though and action

Into that heaven of freedom, My Father, let my country awake.
