Rabindranath Tagore reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1913 he was honoured with the Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the first non-European to achieve the feat. His compositions were chosen by two nations as national anthems. They are India's Jana Gana Mana and Bangladesh's Amar Shonar Bangla. The Sri Lankan national anthem was inspired by his work.
