	Rabindranath Tagore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tagore was also a cultural reformer and polymath who modernised Bangla art by rejecting strictures binding it to classical Indian forms.
		Tagore (nicknamed "Rabi") was born the youngest of fourteen children in the Jorasanko mansion of parents Debendranath Tagore and Sarada Devi.
		Tagore typically associated his earliest stories (such as those of the "Sadhana" period) with an exuberance of vitality and spontaneity; these characteristics were intimately connected with Tagore’s life in the common villages of, among others, Patisar, Shajadpur, and Shilaida while managing the Tagore family’s vast landholdings.

		Tagore’s father, Maharishi (a great saint) Debendranath Tagore (1817-1905), was a leader of the Brahmo Samaj, a reformist religious movement that sought the revival of the monistic basis of Hinduism as laid down in the Upanishads.
		Tagore was the fourteenth child in a family of fifteen, but he grew up as the youngest member in the household, because his younger sibling died early.
		Tagore was educated at home; at seventeen, however, he was sent to England to study law, but returned after a year, without finishing his studies, because he could not cope with the English weather, or bear to live away for long from the sights and sounds of Bengal.

		Rabindranath, as the youngest of fourteen children, grew up in a vibrant artistic atmosphere, where literary magazines were published and music performance and theaters were presented within the cultural group nucleated by the Jorasanko Tagores.
		Tagore's family lineage continues and among the famous is his great-granddaughter, Sharmila Tagore (wife of Nawab of Pataudi) who acted in numerous Hindi and Bengali movies.
		What motivated Rabindranath to write Roktokarabi is not clear, some suggesting his recent visit to the mines of Bombay, some to his dislike of what he saw in the west, and some other think that he was motivated by woman to create the character of Nandini.
