This day in 1913: Rabindranath Tagore becomes first non-European to receive Nobel Prize in Literature
Tuesday, 10 December 2024 Rabindranath Tagore became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 for his work 'Gitanjali'. His profound impact on Bengali literature, music, and art is celebrated through thousands of songs, novels, and poems. Though his original Nobel medal was stolen in 2004, the Swedish Academy presented replicas to Visva-Bharati University.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with billionaire Elon Musk, his partner Shivon Zilis, and their three children during his visit to Washington. In a heartfelt gesture, PM Modi gifted Musk's kids three iconic Indian books – "The Crescent Moon" by Rabindranath Tagore, "The Great RK Narayan Collection," and "Panchatantra" by Pandit Vishnu Sharma. These literary treasures celebrated India's cultural heritage, inspiring imagination and wisdom.
In return, Musk reportedly gifted Modi a SpaceX heat tile, believed to be from a Starship launch, symbolizing innovation and human ambition. This unique exchange beautifully blended tradition with technological advancement, highlighting the growing bond between India and the US.
