Rabindranath Tagore was born at Jorasanko Thakurbari in Calcutta. His father was the Brahmo Guru Debendranath Tagore (1817–1905) [48] and his mother was Saradasundari Devi (1826–185). [49] Rabindranath was the fourteenth child of his parents. . [51] [52] Rabindranath had a miscarriage at the age of only fourteen in 175. [22] So, being a child of a rich family, Rabindranath spent his childhood under the discipline of servants. His education was arranged. [56] As a child, Rabindranath was more comfortable wandering in the natural environment at Jorasanko's house or in the garden houses of Bolpur and Panihati. Rabindranath's Upanayan was held in 183 at the age of eleven. [21] He then went on a country tour with his father for a few months. [21] They first came to Santiniketan. [59] With his son, Debendranath went to Bakrota, near the Dalhousie hill town in the Punjab (now in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh). [59] He was also encouraged to read biographies of eminent personalities, classical Sanskrit poems and plays written by Kalidasa, and Upanishads. [60] [61] These are Michael Madhusudan's "Critique of Meghnadabadha Kavya", Vanusingh Tagore's verses and two stories called "Vikharini" and "Karuna". Of these, the words of Vanusingh Tagore are particularly significant. These poems are written in the style of "Vanusingh" Bhanita in imitation of the verses about Radha-Krishna. [62] Rabindranath's story "Vikharini" (18) is the first short story in Bengali literature. [63] [64] 65] In this episode he also composed the book of poetry Sandhya Sangeet (182). Rabindranath's famous poem "Nirjharer Swapnabhanga" belongs to this book of poetry.
