Rabindranath Tagore-his childhood and creativity from the perspective of a Psychiatrist

A man of prodigious literary and artistic accomplishments, Tagore played a leading role in Indian cultural renaissance and came to be recognized, along with Mohandas Gandhi, as one of the architects of modern India. Tagore's career, extending over a period of more than sixty years, not only chronicled his personal growth and versatility but also reflected the artistic, cultural, and political vicissitudes of India in the late nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century. His work depicts all the human emotions in depth and as a psychiatrist it was an interesting to view his childhood and his literary work from this point of view.
