Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore has left a legacy behind that can never be forgotten. Along with our national anthem - ‘Jana Gana Mana’, Bangla poem written by Tagore is the national anthem of Bangladesh. Tagore reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of the “profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse” of Gitanjali he became in 1913 the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Rabindra Sangeet or Rabindranath Tagore Songs are a heritage and undoubtedly the king pillar of Bengali Culture. This particular collection of Tagore Songs is precious and super rare because this is one of the very few recordings that contains the voice of the great poet himself.

The national anthem was composed in Bengali, which was later translated into Hindi and Urdu by Abid Ali.However, during the Kolkata session of the Indian National Congress on 27 December 1911, the national anthem was sung in Bengali and Hindi language for the first time.

The national anthem is also available in the English version, which is known as “The Morning Song of India”. Rabindranath Tagore had translated the national anthem into English in 1919 and the English composer Herbert Murill sang this song on the orchestra.
