My favourite writer.

He is not only a writer, but a poet, religious preacher, social reformer, artist and a musician too. This great man representing all that is best in Indian thought and character and rendered a great service to India to make his people well. understood by the western word.
Ravindranath Tagore was born in India at that time modern inventions had hardly gained foothold in India. Tagore believed that the common speech should he the foundation of all good writing. ’One can get in to the sea of human culture only by following the stream of one’s mother tongue…..’ he always appreciated his mother tongue as well as his motherland. Tagore was at his best as a lyrical poet. He also wrote many plays and novels. His short stories are perhaps his finest creations. The novel ’Gora’ depicted the struggle between two generations young and old. In 1916 he was received with noble prize for his work of literature. This great writer and philosopher left the world forever in 1941 leaving an empty place that can never be filled.
