Schweitzer Klassifikation
Indian polymath Rabindranath Tagore was a well-known poet, philosopher, musician, and artist who had a significant impact on changing the country's intellectual and cultural landscape in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In Calcutta (now Kolkata), Tagore was born into a well-to-do Bengali family and started writing poems at a young age. He was the first non-European laureate to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 for his most well-known work, "Gitanjali" (Song Offerings). In addition to being a brilliant poet, Tagore was a well-known participant in the Indian Renaissance. In Santiniketan, he established Visva-Bharati University, putting a strong emphasis on a holistic education that combined the arts, culture, and environment. Poems, plays, essays, and short tales are among Tagore's literary works, which showcase his profound understanding of spirituality, human nature, and the nexus of tradition and modernity. He wrote both the music and the words to "Jana Gana Mana," which is India's national song. His influence affected India's political and cultural domains in addition to literature. As a fervent supporter of internationalism and humanism, Tagore's achievements have created a lasting legacy that has elevated him to a respected status both in India and around the world.
