This legacy is most visible in Bengali culture, ranging from language and the arts to politics and history: indeed, Nobel laureate Amartya Sen said that even for Bengalis modern, Tagore was a "dominant figure ", which is" a very relevant and multifaceted contemporary thinker. "Tagore's collected writings in the Bengali language-Rabindra Racanavali-1939 is also canonized as one of the greatest cultural treasures Bengal, while Tagore himself, has been proclaimed "the greatest Indian poet has produced".
