Rabindranath Tagore

Tagore wan the Nobel prize for literature in 1913. Two years later he dered it in 1919 as a protest against the massacre of Amritsar, where British troops killed some 400 Indian demonstrators.
   Tagore's influence over Gandhi and the founders of modern indian was enormous, but his reputation in West as a mystic has perhaps misled his Western readers to ignore his role as a reformer and critic of colonialism.
                                        Rabindranath Tagore was born in kolkota into a wealthy and prominent family. His father was Maharishi Debendranath Tagore, a religious reformer and scholar.
