In 1913, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was the first non-European to receive it. His coming by the Nobel created much excitement not only in India but outside it as well. Rabindranath, not at all known outside India before the publication of his Gitanjali in its English version in November 1912 from London, made millions of people sit up and take notice of him through the prize. William Butler Yeats (1865-1939), a reputed Irish poet even before 1913 and eventually a Nobel laureate himself, in 1923, was a great admirer of Rabindranath during his Gitanjali days, though he did not rejoice at the declaration of the Nobel Committee on November 13, 1913. A study of Nobel nominations will perhaps give us an idea of the process involved. On 10 December every year the year's laureate has to receive the prize and deliver a lecture. Very recently the web site of the Nobel Committee released a wealth of information that gives us a fresh perspective on the Nobel process itself. Let us take a look at the nominations for Nobel Literature Prizes from India and Bangladesh from 1901 to 1950. A name that was sent up five times, the highest in our perspective, was that of Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (1888-1975), the noted philosopher. He was nominated in the five years between 1933 and 1937 by Hjalmar Hammarskjold, a member of the Swedish Academy. Additionally, between those years there were some more nominations --- for Devadatta R Bhandarkar, a ...

Rabindranath Tagore became the first non-European to win a Nobel Prize in Literature on this day in 1913. On November 13, 1913, Tagore was announced as the first non-European Literature Laureate, reveals a post shared by the Nobel Prize Organisation. The poet, novelist, essayist, philosopher and musician from Bengal also became the first lyricist to win the Nobel Prize in Literature for "his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West." In the introduction to 'Gitanjali', for which Rabindranath Tagore won the Nobel Prize, WB Yeats wrote, "We write long books where no page perhaps has any quality to make writing a pleasure, being confident in some general design, just as we fight and make money and fill our heads with politics - all dull things in the doing - while Mr Tagore, like the Indian civilization itself, has been content to discover the soul and surrender himself to its spontaneity." Rabindranath Tagore was born in Kolkata in 1861. Though he has never formally been recognised as India's national poet, his body of work reshaped Bengal's literature, music and art. The Nobel Laureate penned over 2,000 songs, which are known as 'Rabindra Sangeet'. His works include hundreds of novels, short stories, dance-dramas, poems, essays and travelogues.Click for more

Both in turn provide major themes for his poetry. In the early period, he combined the use of Irish folklore with an original symbolism, influenced by his reading of the French symbolists and his edition of the works of William Blake. The middle period dates from the beginning of the 20th century: Yeats’s style became more modern and flexible, he started to conceive his symbols as a means to evoke universal myths. The late period covers the years of maturity when a new and passionate intensity. The sense of spiritual loss led the author to attempt particularly drastic and bizarre remedies, dabbling in theosophy, spiritualism, Buddhism, reincarnation, Irish folklore, Neoplatonism, and other forms of esoteric belief, building up from these various influences a private symbolic system. Yeats’s greatness as a poet received international recognition with the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923 and he was the first Irish Nobel Prize winner. Yeats’s imagination worked especially through the conflict and resolution of opposites: he widely employed the stylistic devices of antithesis, oxymoron, and paradox...

It is perhaps redundant today to analyse the remark quoted above from the Introduction of Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali or Song Offerings by the renowned Irish poet William Butler Yeats. But many admirers of Tagore have commented over the years that he was awarded the Nobel for the wrong book, and that there were other works of the poet that were better and greater. The comment has been repeated in the recent times when Bob Dylan received the Nobel Prize in literature. I have heard a number of Dylan fans saying that he received it in the wrong category. While both comments may have some validity, it is not unusual when it comes to appreciation of such work. Sometimes even the poets and writers themselves express dissatisfaction over the critical appreciation of one of their work over another. But rather than judging one work over the other, why can't we think that it's the poetic or literary consciousness of an author that attracts the body of judges? The Nobel Committee was moved and mesmerized by what they saw in Tagore's Gitanjali. In the words of Haraid Hjäme, the Chairman of the Nobel Committee in 1913: "Quite independently of any knowledge of his Bengali poetry, irrespective, too, of differences of religious faiths, literary schools, or party aims, Tagore has been hailed from various quarters as a new and admirable master of that poetic art which has been a never failing concomitant of the expansion of British civilization ever since the days of Queen Elizabeth."
