Rabindranath Tagore

ƥ Rabindranath Tagore was born in Calcutta, India


into a wealthy Brahmin family. After a brief stay
in England (1878) to attempt to study law, he
returned to India, and instead pursued a career
as a writer, playwright, songwriter, poet,
philosopher and educator. During the first 51
years of his life he achieved some success in the
Calcutta area of India where he was born and
raised with his many stories, songs and plays.

ƥ His short stories were published monthly


in a friend's magazine and he even played
the lead role in a few of the public
performances of his plays. Otherwise, he
was little known outside of the Calcutta
area, and not known at all outside of
India.

ã He wrote over one thousand poems; eight volumes of
short stories; almost two dozen plays and play-
play-lets;
eight novels; and many books and essays on philosophy,
religion, education and social topics. Aside from words
and drama, his other great love was music, Bengali
style. He composed more than two thousand songs, both
the music and lyrics. Two of them became the national
anthems of India and Bangladesh.
ã In 1929 he even began painting. Many of his paintings
can be found in museums today, especially in India,
where he is considered the greatest literary figure of
India of all times.
