personal life

Tagore's family belongs to the merchant and landlord class, and it is a Brahmin caste. During the era of the British East India Company, it prospered and became the landlord of Chaimingda. His grandfather and father were both social activists. At that time, they actively supported the Enlightenment in Bangladesh and supported social reform.

His father is a philosopher and religious reformer who has a good knowledge of Vedas and Upanishads. He is full of nationalist tendencies. Because he is incompatible with the traditional customs in society, he is blessed by the customary forces as an externalized person without caste. He has fourteen children, and Tagore is the youngest in his family.

It is in this family that there are quite a few scholars and artists among brothers, sisters and nephews. As a result of growing up in such a scholarly family where Indian traditional culture and western culture blend harmoniously, Tagore was influenced by family environment since childhood.
