LANGUAGE LIGHTS UP THE WORLD
Tagore wrote prolifically, primarily in Bengali – around 2500 songs, poems, plays, essays, novels, and short stories; he was also a painter. He used several registers of Bengali, ranging from the formal to the colloquial. Living through two World Wars, and the most dramatic decades of the nationalist movement, he was deeply invested in a vision of an alternative world, which he tried to realise in Shantiniketan.
