Bengal and Bengali literature

Mother Bengal's literary contribution to Tagore's childhood was a very meagre presentation. The poet in his teens increased and enlarged it into a swift-flowing river.

Rabindranath's love and sacrifice for Bengal were one and the same. In 1905, at the time of the partition of Bengal, the patriot in Rabindranath suffered more than the poet. His immortal prayer ran:

> Let all brothers and sisters of Bengal be one, be one, be one, O God.

Where Bengal's all-fulfilling literary treasure is, there will Tagore be also.
