Rabindranath Tagore
(born May 7, 1861, Kolkata, India - died August 7, 1941, Kolkata), Bengali
poet, short-story writer, song composer, playwright, essayist, and painter who
introduced new prose and verse forms and the use of colloquial language into
Bengali literature, thereby freeing it from traditional models based on
classical Sanskrit.
He was highly influential in introducing Indian culture to the West and vice
versa, and he is generally regarded as the outstanding creative artist of
early 20th-century India. In 1913 he became the first non-European to receive
the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Heaven of Freedom: Rabindranath Tagore
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls,
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by Thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country
- Rabindranath Tagore
