Tagore’s poems about the starry sky are as follows.

Tagore has a famous saying: We all live in the gutter, but there are still people who look up at the stars. What is the starry sky? I think it is our dream. It is our refusal to admit defeat and dare to surpass. It is the goal we should pursue throughout our lives. No matter whether our starting point is high or low, no matter what setbacks and ups and downs we are experiencing, we must have hope and be a person with stars and sea in our eyes and flowers in our heart.

Family life

Tagore’s family belonged to the merchant and landowning class, a Brahmin caste. They were very prosperous during the British East India Company era and became Chaiminda landowners. His grandfather and father were social activists who actively supported the Enlightenment Movement in Bengal and supported social reforms at that time. His father was a scholar of the Vedas and Upanishads.

He is a philosopher and religious reformer with nationalistic tendencies. Because he is incompatible with the traditional customs of society, he is regarded as an alienated person without caste by the customary forces. He had fourteen children, and Tagore was the youngest in the family. It was in this family that many scholars and artists emerged among brothers, sisters and nephews.

Because he grew up in such a scholarly family where Indian traditional culture and Western culture harmoniously blended, Tagore was influenced by the family environment since he was a child.
