Growing up, he was mosty raised by servants and never had any formal schooling until sent to England at the age seventeen because he didn't enjoy the closed environment of schools. Sadly, his mother died in his early childhood. The Tagore's house was home to many musical recitals, publication of magazines, and the center of a large art social group. Did you know that his first book was published when he was only thirteen years old? Timeline: He enrolled in a private school at Brighton, East Sussex, England. 1878 1890 He married Mrinalini Devi. Out of their five children, two died at childhood He released
his Manasi poems,
which is among
his best known work 1883 This was known as the Sadhana period, where Tagore wrote more than half of the stories in the three volume, eighty four story Galpaguchchha which described poverty in Rural Bengal He moved to Santiniketan, where Tagore founded a temple and open university, and became a teacher there. Rabindranath's father, Debendranath Tagore, died. 1905 1891-
1895 1901 Timeline 2: Tagore won the
Nobel Prize for
Literature 1913 The British offered Tagore knighthood, but he rejected it due to the Jaliya Walla Bagh massacre done by the British. On August 7, 1941,
Tagore died due
to great illness. 1919 1941 "Music fills the the infinite
between two souls" "If you shut the doors to all errors,
truth will be shut out" "Those who own much
have much to fear" "We live in the world
when we love" "We live in the world
when we love" Tagore met Einstein on July 14, 1930 at Berlin,Germany.
They had a deep conversation about gap between the truth in science verses the world of a poet. Quick Question!
Who composed the national anthem for both India and Bangladesh? It's RABINDRANATH TAGORE! Did you know that Tagore was also good friends with Mahatama Gandhi?
He was actually the first one to adress Gandhi as 'Father of the Nation' for India.
