RABINDRANATH AND SCIENCE

摘要

The issue May and June 2021 (Vol. 87 Nos. 5-6, 2021) of Science and Culture is being released for our readers. May and June months are most significant not only for the advancement of science and technology but also culturally at the international level. May-June reflects the birth of so many intellectuals of Indian Renaissance. Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861) is the first Nobel Laureate in Asia and Africa in 1913 (in Literature for his book _ Gitanjali - Song Offerings). He is a cultural icon and his writings particularly poetry and songs are the emblem of Bengali culture. For the first time he reshaped Bengali literature and music (Rabindra sangeet) and also Indian art with modernism during the second half of the nineteenth century flowing into the twentieth century. During the initial stage of Indian Renaissance, Rabindranath had a good proximity with the rising scientists of India like Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose (1858-1937), Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray (1861-1944), Meghnad Saha (1893-1956), Satyendranath Bose (1894-1974), Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis (1893-1972).
