Dwarkanath Tagore to be honoured for role in Renaissance with statue in UK
London: Dwarkanath Tagore, best known for his significant role in the Bengal Renaissance of the 19th century, is to be memorialised with a new bust in the UK.
Dwarkanath, the grandfather of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore was among the first Indian industrialists, also known as merchant princes, investing in a range of businesses from steam engines to banking in the 1820s.
He died during a visit to the UK in August, 1846 and was buried at Kensal Green Cemetery in north-west London, where his bust will be inaugurated in August this year.

From coal to banking to trading, he successfully set the foundation of an industrial Bengal and internationalisation of India,” said Sourav Nyogi, president of the Bengal Heritage Foundation, which is spearheading the project along with the Friends of Kensal Green group.
