Personal life
Tagore's family belongs to the merchant landlord class and is a Brahmin caste. In the era of the British East India Company, it flourished and became the landlord of Chaminda.
His grandfather and father are both social activists. At that time, they actively supported the Enlightenment and social reform in Bangladesh. His father was a philosopher and a religious reformer, and he had rich knowledge of the Vedas and Upanishads. He is full of nationalist tendencies. Because he is incompatible with the traditional customs in society, he is blessed by the forces of customs as an externalized person without caste.
He has fourteen children, of whom Tagore is the youngest. It is in this family that there are many scholars and artists among siblings and nephews. As a result of growing up in such a scholarly family where Indian traditional culture and western culture blend harmoniously, Tagore was influenced by family environment since childhood.
