dc.descriptionPoet, litterateur, painter. First Indian Nobel laureate (1913). Founder of Brahmavidyalaya at Santiniketan, Bolpur and Visva-Bharati. Enthused by the patriotic nationalist upsurge in protest against the notorious "Partition of Bengal" (1905), Rabindranath involved himself in nationalist efforts in diverse spheres including the establishments of the National Council of Education, Bengal in 1906. Rabindranath was awarded Knighthood in 1915 and rejected the same in 1919 in protest against the Jalianwalabagh massacre by the British rulers. The Oxford University conferred upon him the degree of D. Litt. in 1940. On 7th August 1941 Rabindranath breathed his last in Calcutta at the family house in Jorasanko leaving behind a large corpus of literary work in almost all diverse forms, a treasure-trove of painting - a whole tradition in creating sensibility.en_US
