Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday paid tribute to Rabindranath Tagore on his birth anniversary and said that "his thoughts on justice and equality shaped India's worldview while his timeless works provided the intellectual foundation for the freedom movement".
"Tripura, the rest of India and even the world is aware of his contributions. He was an inspiration for the past generations. He is an inspiration for us and generations to come. The spirit of Rabindranath Tagore is alive everywhere," Saha said.
The poet, philosopher, essayist, novelist and visionary whose creations touched many aspects of life, nature, human relations, nationalism, and politics was none other than Rabindranath Tagore.
He authored several volumes of poetical works that stand out to proclaim his philosophy of life and spiritualism. He championed the ideals of naturalism, humanism, internationalism and idealism.
