Poet Rabindranath Tagore

PANO- A seminar on the life and great legacy of poet Rabindranath Tagore was held in Hanoi on November 9th by the Embassy of India, in association with the Vietnam Institute of Social Sciences and the Vietnam Writers’ Association, on the occasion of the 150th birthday (1861) of this great poet.

The seminar aims to provide audiences with further understanding about Tagore in different contexts as he has always been remembered as a great poet, an unyielding nationalist and an eminent humanist thinker.

The seminar focuses on four themes, including the influence of Tagore on Southeast and South Asia, political and social issues in Tagore’s creations in the regional context, Tagore’s idea in traditional community life and rural reconstruction and the values of Tagore’s artist legacy.
