I learned a lot by reading about him. A window into a certain time in India's history. Also, his thoughts on education were way ahead of the times, I think, and influence education to this day.

Bengal renaissance!
Created the backbone of modern India.
And yet, if I say his name to anybody I know, I get a blank stare...amazing.
PS
Except my family...I bore them by talking about stuff that interests me :)
His house at Jorasanko still exists in north Calcutta. Now is the time of puja so they still have their family puja, although you do know his family is not Hindu :)
They were Bhrambha!
But they still did the traditional Durga Puja. It’s quite famous. I visited his home many times.
This is from this year, last week :)
Knock yourself out!
This is in English and well narrated.
The first one was entertaining, but the second one was lovely. All the reading I did about Tagore and I never got this view of his home and his life. Lovely.
Thank you!
