Today is the grate day, Rabindra Nath Tagore have a 150th birth anniversary. A big event that the country will celebrate over the next 12 months.Today there are two schools in Kolkata where Tagore studied. The Nobel laureate was not a great student. He changed schools four times in his life. Each stay was brief, to say the least.
"A boy who was unable to repeat his lessons," he writes in his reminiscences "was made to stand on a bench with arms extended and, on his upturned palms were piled a number of slates."
He had thrown a tantrum to be allowed to go to school when he was seven, in 1868, but he left in a month, taking with him a memory of the kind of punishment doled out there.
Tagore's memory of St Xavier's School, which he joined in 1876 for about six months, was also bleak. One teacher, Father Depeneranda, who one day noticed he was not writing his paper, put his hand on his shoulder and asked, "Are you not well, Tagore?" "It was a simple question," writes Tagore, "but one I have never been able to forget."
"He kept his relationship with St Xavier's for a long time. One is, in 1927, he came to St Xavier's and gave a gift to St Xavier's. The gift was a statue of Jesus Christ," says father Felix Raj, Principal, St Xavier's college.
In 1940, 27 years after he got the Nobel Prize, Oxford University came down to Shantiniketan, and gave Tagore an honorary doctorate.
