Abstract

Rabindranāth Tagore was born and brought up in a city: Calcutta, now Kolkata, the erstwhile second city of the British empire. He belonged to the third generation of a propertied family. His grandfather ‘Prince’ Dwārakānāth Tagore built up the family fortune in the modern sense of the term. Dwarakanath's eldest son, Debendran th, was Rabindranath's father. It is well known that Rabindranath never felt close to his grandfather in spirit. He felt greater affinity with his philosophic father: the two had a warm relationship over some forty years.
