In India, the Civil Services Examination was first administered by the British in 1854. However, no Indian had been able to pass this test until 1862. Following this, in 1863, someone arrived who raised the standard in the Civil Services Test. We have been discussing Satyendranath Tagore, brother of Rabindranath Tagore.
Following Tagore's 1863 Civil Services Examination success, Satyendranath Tagore was inducted as India's first Indian Administrative Service officer. On June 1, 1842, Satyendranath Tagore was born in Kolkata. At the young age of 21, he had successfully passed the Civil Services Exam. Upon passing this test, he was sent to England for training, and upon his return, he was appointed an IAS.
In November 1864, following his probationary training, he became the first Indian officer to return to India. His career as a civil servant began in Bombay and continued in Ahmedabad as an assistant magistrate and collector. He worked in western India afterwards.
Satyendranath had to travel across the nation frequently for work. He was able to pick up multiple Indian languages as a result. Using his polyglot skills, he translated works by Tukaram and Bal Gangadhar into Bengali. Many family members, especially his siblings Jyotirindranath, Rabindranath, and Swarnakumari Devi, visited Satyendranath and his wife for extended periods of time while they were living outside of Bengal.
In 1876, Satyendranath composed patriotic songs for the Hindu Mela that he helped to organise in Belgachia, Calcutta. He participated actively in the Adi Brahmo Samaj and, alongside his older brother Dwijendranath Tagore, rose to the position of president and acharya (religious guide) in 1907. In addition to writing several books in Bengali and English, Satyendranath also translated works from Sanskrit into Bengali.
