Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a Bengali poet, philosopher, and polymath who is widely regarded as one of the most important literary figures in modern Indian literature. He was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 for his collection of poems, "Gitanjali". Tagore's works often dealt with themes of universalism, humanism, nature, and spirituality. He was also a social reformer and an advocate for Indian independence. Some of his other notable works include the novels "The Home and the World" and "Gora", and the plays "The Post Office" and "Muktadhara".
