His literary reputation is based on his poetry but he also wrote novels, short stories and songs. Two of his songs are now the national anthems of India and Bangladesh. He also wrote songs in support of the Indian independence movement, and he renounced his knighthood in protest at a massacre carried out by British soldiers in 1919.
