Tagore’s ancestral home in Bangladesh's Kushtia district redeveloped by Indian High Commission

Kolkata, Dec 12 (UNI) The Indian High Commission in Bangladesh is redeveloping the "Kuthibari" museum of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore.
This museum was once the ancestral mansion of the Tagore family.
According to information given by the official twitter handle of the Indian High Commission in Bangladesh, the Indian government is redeveloping Kuthibari (Kachhribari), the ancestral home of
Kaviguru Ravindranath Tagore, in Potisar village of Kushtia district,located in Dakshinchal, Bangladesh.
Spread over three acres, Gurudev Tagore's ancestral mansion and now museum is a common heritage of India and Bangladesh.
The mansion contains over three hundred (300) important items related to Tagore's life in this mansion.
The bed on which he slept and the chair on which he used to sit are also in this museum.
Kuthibari is the place where Rabindranath Tagore started translating his world-famous work Gitanjali from Bangla to English in 1912, for which he received the Nobel Prize for Literature on 10 December
1913.
Not only this, he also composed his famous novel Gora published in the year 1909 at this place.
Ravindranath Tagore belongs to Bangladesh as much as India. Gurudev Tagore is the first person whose songs went on to become the national anthems of two countries.
On one hand, India adopted 'Jana Gana Mana'. On the other hand, after separating from Pakistan in the year 1971, Bangladesh adopted 'Amar Shonar Bangla' as the national anthem.
Tagore's songs are also a part of the curriculum of schools in Bangladesh.
