Choose the best answer and encircle it.. In India the Sanskrit word Kabi is generally accepted as denoting poet, but the word, correctly interpreted, does not mean a person who, having been endowed with high powers of imagination and expression, is purely and simply a writer in verse; it means a seer, an enlightened and wise-person. And Rabindranath Tagore was much more than a mere versifier having high powers of imagination and expression; he was a Kabi in the strictest sense of the term. It is undoubtedly true that, in the course of his long life of eighty-one years he wrote magnificent verse,. songs, dramas and other works in prose, yet the real impression that his life and works give of him is not that of a poet but of a prophet, a searching but serene spirit in a tumultuous world, which he was ever striving to calm by pouring in ceaselessly the message of truth. He travelled extensively, visited many lands and people, studied deeply their different principles of philosophy and life, enriched has various experiences with life-long contemplation, and gave out to the world the wealth of his wisdom that "the wakeful ageless God calls today on our soul - the soul that is measureless, the soul that is undefeated, the soul that is destined to immortality and yet the soul which today lies in the dust." The poet was born on May 6,. 186 1, in Bengal, a province which was, at that time, the most progressive in India. At the beginning of the nineteenth century Raja Rammohan Roy himself a native of Bengal, and a man of great vision and versatility, had- inaugurated a movement that was destined to enliven every aspect of Indian life and to rouse his fellow countrymen to action. Rammohan Roy directed his energies chiefly towards the reformation of religion; as a Hindu Brahmin himself he was keenly aware of the decadence which had, developed and, which he wished to modify. Like other religious reformers before and after he was forced into the position of initiating a schism within the Hindu fold. The new faith which he propounded was called Brahmoism, and was based on liberal ideas which he gleaned from Christianity, Islam and the ancient Hindu religio-philosophic literature. His zeal in the field of politics, literature and social reform was also remarkable in that he helped to revive he interest of Indians in themselves and their country. Rammohan might fairly be said to have laid the foundations of modern Indian thought and ideas, and he was certainly among the, first of those Indians responsible for directing consciousness of intellectual and artistic men towards the development of a new Indian culture, of which Rabindranath Tagore was both a disciple and an apostle. 1.The word 'Kabi' correctly interpreted means a) a person endowed with high powers of imagination and expression b) a simple writer in verse C) a seer, an enlightened and wise person 2.
