We were delighted to learn that Tagore delivered a lecture here at UChicago in 1913, the year he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Dipesh Chakrabarty, a historian at the University, was responsible for the discovery and you can read more about it here. Tagore is known for his poetry, prose, paintings, beard, songs (he wrote the Indian National Anthem) and work in education. What most people don’t know is that he was an accomplished hip-hop artist and went by the handle Lil Rab Tag. The consensus is he was pretty chill and that young Tagore was super hot.
