Tagore’s death anniv today

block
BSS, Dhaka :
Today is the 22nd of the Bengali month of Shraban-the 73rd death anniversary of Nobel laureate poet Rabindranath Tagore.
Different organizations and television channels will hold special programmes
marking the death anniversary of the greatest poet of Bangla literature.
In his long seven decades of endeavours in different genres of Bangla literature, the great poet enriched the Bangla language and literature and elevated their positions in the global arena.
Though recongised as one of the greatest poets in the world, Rabindranath Tagore was a rare man of multifarious merits.
He was an expert in music, a novelist, a dramatist, an artiste, a music composer, an essayist, a philosopher, an academic, a linguist and a social reformer-all in one.
As author of Gitanjali with its “profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse”, he was the first non-European and the first Bangla-speaking person to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913.
