Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow : Rabindranath Tagore, more popularly known as Gurudev, was born in Kolkata on May 8, 1861 to Maharshi Debendranath and Sharda Devi. It was a time of gloom and cheerlessness, and India’s soul almost lay prostrate at the feet of the foreign rulers. Politically, India was deep in slavery, and culturally, in the wilderness. People were foolishly aping the ways of the West and there was hardly any ray of hope. Tagore, as a child, did not like to go to school and so was taught at home. He began to write from an early age. He began writing poems, songs, and stories about the different aspects of the Indian culture and society. He was very talented, energetic and wise, and whatever he touched was exceptionally enriched. His genius, like the rising sun, began to create wonders. He shed light and warmth, and revived the mental and moral spirit of the people. His writings proved path-breaking and revolutionary. He was full of anguish, pain and sorrow at the Jallianwala Bagh tragedy in which General Dyer and his soldiers had killed hundreds of innocent civilians and wounded thousands of others on April 13, 1919 in Amritsar. As a cultural ambassador of India, Rabindranath Tagore gave voice to the country and became an instrument in spreading the knowledge of Indian culture around the world. Hence, decided to renounce and relinquish his knighthood as a protest and immediately penned a letter to the then Viceroy. He wrote, "The time has come when pledges of honour make our shame glaring in their incongruous context of humiliation and I, for my part, wish to stand shorn of all special distinctions, by the side of my countrymen, who for their so-called insignificance are liable to suffer degradation not fit for human beings".1.
