Rabindranath Tagore was born at Jorasanko Thakurbari in Calcutta. His father was the Brahmaguru Debendranath Tagore (1817–1905) [48] and his mother was Saradasundari Devi (1826–185). [49] Rabindranath was the fourteenth child of his parents. . [51] [52]
Rabindranath's mother died in 185 at the age of only fourteen. [22] His father Debendranath spent most of the year outside Calcutta intoxicated with traveling. As a child of a wealthy family, Rabindranath's childhood was spent in the service of servants. His education was arranged. [56] As a child, Rabindranath used to enjoy walking in the natural environment at Jorasanko's house or in the garden houses of Bolpur and Panihati. [56] [56]
Rabindranath's upanishad was held in 183 at the age of eleven. [21] He then went on a country tour with his father for a few months. [21] They first came to Santiniketan. [59] With his son, Debendranath moved to Bakrota, near the Dalhousie hill town in Punjab (now in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh). [59] He was also encouraged by biographies of eminent personalities, classical Sanskrit poems and plays by Kalidasa, and Upanishad texts. [60] [71] These are Michael Madhusudan's "Critique of Meghnadabadha Kavya", Vanusingh Tagore's verses and two stories called "Vikharini" and "Karuna". Of these, the words of Vanusingh Tagore are particularly significant. These poems are based on "Vanusingh" Vhanita in imitation of Radha-Krishna verses. [62] Rabindranath's "Vikharini" (18) is the first short story in Bengali literature. [63] 65] In this episode he also composed the book Sandhya Sangeet (182). Rabindranath's famous poem "Nirjharer Swapnabhanga" belongs to this book of poetry. [6]
