Rabindranath's contribution from "summary" of বাংলা ভাষার উপনিবেশায়ন ও রবীন্দ্রনাথ - Bangla Vashar Uponibeshayon o Rabindranath by Mohammad Azam

Rabindranath Tagore's contribution to Bengali language and literature is immense, perhaps unparalleled in terms of depth and breadth. He not only popularised many traditional forms of literature, music, song and light opera (known as Jatra. but also brought modernity to the language by pioneering many new ways of expressing ideas.

Rabindranath Tagore was instrumental in taking Bengali language to the international stage. Not only did he translate some of his famous works into English, but also advocated for the representation of Bengali speakers in literary awards such as Nobel Prize, which he eventually won himself.

During his lifetime, Tagore wrote thousands of songs, stories, essays, poetic works and prose. His works have been translated into many languages and has inspired generations of people from all corners of the planet. This immense repertoire is one of Tagore's most significant contributions not only to Bengali culture but to global discourse as well.

One of Tagore's most important contributions was in the sphere of education. By founding schools such as Visva-Bharati University and Santiniketan, he provided learners with an environment where they could find an open channel to their own creative expressions while learn about the world around them.

Last but not least, Tagore has left us a priceless legacy with regard to social reform both within Bengal and beyond. His works often challenged conservative beliefs and norms and offered forward thinking perspectives on issues ranging from marriage customs to patriotism. These teachings are as relevant today as they were during his time.
