His writings and way of life portray the closeness and bond he share with humanity and also his undying interest for social reforms in the wake of the many social evils practiced at his time. A college dropout yet was knighted by the King of England and also won the Noble Prize in Literature. Tagore repudiated his Knighthood in protest of the Jalian walabagh Massacre.
