Complete answer:

Rabindra Nath Tagore was born in Calcutta, in 1861. When he was forty years old, he became a founder of a school at Shantiniketan, near Bhopal. He also wrote a collection of poems, which was later known as Gitanjali, in 1910. Tagore modernized Bengali art by spurning rigid classical forms and resisting linguistic stricture. His novels, stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays spoke to topics political and personal. His compositions were chosen by two nations as national anthems: India's Jana Gana Mana and Bangladesh's Amar Shonar Bangla. After a few years, in 1913, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. After six years, he surrendered the title in protest against the Jalianwala Bagh Massacre. He was a very brave man. Soon, in the year 1921, he inaugurated the Viswa Bharti University. At the age of eighty, he died at his native land, Calcutta. He was in an upstairs room of the Jorasanko mansion in which he grew up. The date is still mourned. A.K. Sen, brother of the first chief election commissioner, received dictation from Tagore on 30 July 1941, a day prior to a scheduled operation.
