Tagore inspired generations of people, including Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, who was inspired by the poem, 'Ekla Chalo Re' (go your own way alone), Anwar said. 'In order to promote his ideas on education, Tagore set up an experimental school of learning, with a focus on what the students want to learn, at Shantiniketan, which later developed into the Visva Bharti University,' he said. Waseem Anwar, Dean of Humanities Department at Forman Christian College was of the view that Tagore was not a supporter of the prevalent system of education as he never finished a degree, and the only degrees he received were honorary ones, including one from Oxford. His collection of poems, 'Gitanjali', made him world famous and was the main body of work that secured him the Nobel Prize. In 1948, the Indian Army valiantly prevented the fall of Srinagar and thus the fall of the entire J&K. Tagore wrote matchless poetry, novels, plays, operas and philosophical tracts and even made fine paintings, Bangash added. Noted military historian Shiv Kunal Vermas '1965 - A Western Sunrise' (Aleph) is focused on the 1965 war, but if one is to consider the larger picture, it would seem that China has drawn a lot of lessons from Indias setbacks right from 1948. Tagore supported the freedom struggle and even returned his knighthood to protest the killings at Jallianwala Bagh in 1919. The programme concluded with a recitation of 'Amar Sonar Bangla', the natioanal anthem of Bangladesh, being read in Bengali, English and Urdu as a celebration of the great poet who was once banned in erstwhile East Pakistan.Дepartment of History chairperson Yaqoob Bangash said Tagore was a strong patriot though he was not a big supporter of nationalism, according to a report in the Daily Times. The event included renditions of Tagore's poetry in song and recitation, clips from a documentary by director Satyajit Ray and the narration of a short story by the writer. Tagore was the first non-European and first South Asian to win the Nobel Prize for literature in 1913. The tribute was organised by the Department of History at Forman Christian College and the Ewing Literary Society on Monday. The song exhorts the listener to continue his or her journey, despite abandonment or lack of support from others.A leading college in Pakistan has organised a tribute to Rabindranath Tagore to mark the centenary of his winning the Nobel Prize for literature, with participants offering renditions of his poetry in song and recitation. вЂњEkla Chalo ReвЂќ was one of the 22 protest songs written during the Swadeshi period of Indian freedom movement and along with вЂњAmar Sonar BanglaвЂќ, it became one of the key anthem of the Anti-Partition Movement in Bengal Presidency in 1905. With the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart, If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,

If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,ДЄnd along the blood-lined track travel alone. If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall, If they answer not to thy call walk alone Tobe bajraanole (aapon buker paajor jaaliye niye ekalaa jolo re (Jodi jhor-baadole aadhaara raate duyaar deye ghore)2
