Medan. This year marks the 160th anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore, one of India’s greatest philosophers, intellectuals and a revered cultural figure. Rabindranath Tagore was born on May 7, 1861 in Kolkata. Every year, his birth anniversary is observed as Rabindra Jayanti across the world.
Tagore gave India its national anthem. He once said: “I have loved India and sought to serve her not because of her geographical magnitude, not because of her great past, but because of my faith in her today and my belief that she will stand for truth and freedom and the higher things of life .
