He was born on 7 may 1861There have been many great authors of fame in India. Rabindranath Tagore is my favourite author. He wrote many novels, poems, short stories and plays. He stand for Indian culture in all respects. He was also an educationalist, a social reformer, a musician and a religious preacher. He was a great son of India.
Once in thousand years comes a man through whom the soul of an entire nation expresses itself. Such was Valmiki in ancient India ; such was Homer in Greece, Dante in Italy and such was Rabindranath in modern India. “He is,” in the words of Prof. Sarvapally Radhakrishnan, “ the greatest figure in modern Renaissance.” India expressed her dreams and aspirations, her ancient wisdom and modern questioning through him. For long years, the light of his genius, as vast and as innumerable as the ocean, lighted the literary sky of Bengal, nay of India.
Tagore’s father was a landlord and a social reformer. It was a landlord family of Bengal. One of his brothers was an I.C.S. officer. Tagore was born in Kolkata on May 6, 1861. He was the youngest son of Maharishi Davendra Nath and grandson of prince Dwarka Nath Tagore. He was taught at home. He did not attend any school or college. He was educated in the open university of the world. He began to write in Bengali at an early age. He started a magazine. His belief was that the first language of the people was the first thing for an India writers. He wrote books in Bengali till he was fifty years of age.
He went abroad at the age of 52. People of other countries welcomed him as a noble ambassador od the Indian people. He was officially received by many governments. His book “Gitanjali” won for him the Nobel Prize in Literature. The king of England gave him the title of “Sir” in 1915. In 1919, he renounced it as a protest against the British repressive policy in Punjab.

He studied at St. Michael's High School, Patnaand at The Doon School in Dehradun, where he edited The Doon School Weekly.[3] After graduating from Doon, Seth went to Tonbridge School, England, to complete his A-levels.He also studied at St. Xavier's High School, Patna. Later he moved to the United Kingdom and read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. He then pursued a Ph.D. in Economics at Stanford University though never completed it.
Having lived in London for many years, Seth maintains residences near Salisbury, England, where he is a participant in local literary and cultural events, having bought and renovated the house of the Anglican poet George Herbert in 1996,and in Jaipur, India.
In 2006, he became a leader of the campaign against Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, a law against sodomy.His mother has written about Seth's homosexuality and her coming to terms with it in her memoir.
Seth has published eight books of poetry and four novels. In 1980, he wrote Mappings, his first book of poetry. The publication of A Suitable Boy, a 1,349-page novel, propelled Seth into the public limelight. His second novel An Equal Music deals with the troubled love life of a violinist. Seth's work Two Livespublished in 2005 is a memoir of the marriage of his great uncle and aunt.
In addition to The Golden Gate, Seth has written other works of poetry including Mappings (1980), The Humble Administrator's Garden (1985), All You Who Sleep Tonight(1990) and Three Chinese Poets (1992). His children's book, Beastly Tales from Here and There (1992) consists of ten stories about animals.

Vikram Seth was also commissioned by the English National Operato write a libretto based on the Greek legend of Arion and the Dolphin. The opera was performed for the first time in June 1994.
Seth's former literary agent Giles Gordonrecalled being interviewed by Seth for the position:
Vikram sat at one end of a long table and he began to grill us. It was absolutely incredible. He wanted to know our literary tastes, our views on poetry, our views on plays, which novelists we liked.
Seth later explained to Gordon that he had passed the interview not because of commercial considerations, but because unlike the others he was the only agent who seemed as interested in his poetry as in his other writing. Seth followed what he has described as "the ludicrous advance for that book" (£250,000 for A Suitable Boy with £500,000 for An Equal Music and £1.4 million for Two Lives.He prepared an acrosticpoem for his address at Gordon's 2005 memorial service.
Seth was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2001.
