Rabindra Jayanti is celebrated every year on 7th May. It’s a big day for the people of Kolkata and Tagore fans from across the world.
He was also a strong voice of resistance against the British colonial rule. Even when the British offered him knighthood, he respectfully refused the title.
Tagore was responsible for some of the finest pieces of work in Indian Literature. Even today, his writings are taught in colleges and universities.
Twitter was delighted to hear the news and they had some nice things to say about the initiative.
That’s how nations come together with respecting each other for betterment of humanity, Ram Ram 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you, #Israel @netanyahu, for honouring, Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, one of the greatest intellectuals of the world of all time. Tagore is to India what the great sage Haim Nachman Bialik is to Israel.
