Kolkata, May 9 (IBNS): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has paid tribute to Bengali polymath Rabindranath Tagore on his 157th birth anniversary on Wednesday.

Banerjee tweeted, "Today is the birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore. My tribute to the great poet and writer on Pochishe Boishakh"

Tagore was the first non-European to win a nobel prize in literature in 1913.

Reshaping Bengali literature, he is credited for innumerable songs, poems and dramas.

Some of his notable works are Gitanjali, Gora, Ghare-Baire.

The national anthems of India and Bangladesh were composed by Tagore.

Tagore had renounced Knighthood to protest against the Jalianwalla Bagh massacre during the British colonisation in India.
