"Rabindranath Tagore, the first Indian citizen recipient of Nobel Prize, a great poet and the author of the national anthem and Gandhi, father of the nation, one of the history's most dynamic personalities are the two of India's greatest personalities. Jawaharlal Nehru was in jail in 1941 when he wrote in his Jail diary, “Gandhi and Tagore, two types entirely different from each other and yet both of them typical of India, both in the long line of India’s great men … I have felt for long that they were the outstanding examples in the world today. There are many of course who may be abler than them or greater geniuses in their own line. It is not so much because of any single virtue but because of the tout ensemble, that I felt that among the world’s great men today Gandhi and Tagore were supreme as human beings.” "
