Bangladesh and Tagore
May 8 was the 148th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore. Throughout the country, several cultural functions were held. This shows that Tagore has become a truly iconic figure in our national life. He is the symbol of humanity. His popularity is not confined within the boundaries of a country. He served humanity.
We never think whether he is an Indian or Bangladeshi. Tagore said, “The right of serving the humanity is a God-gifted right”. Perhaps, in this belief lies his key to success. That's why, though he was not a citizen of an independent country, his creative spirit was never suppressed. Tagore believed in universality. He achieved acceptability in return.
