If we look on William Shakespeare then he was from 1564 to 1616, this was the Elizabethan Age in England. On the other hand, Rabindranath Tagore was from 1861 to 1941, he belongs in the Victorian and Modernist era.
In some of the articles, we listened that Rabidranth has studied on the works of Shakespeare and his artistic style. The contribution of Shakespeare in literature was great in all of the time. On the other hand, Rabindranath Tagore has come to the world a few hundreds years later of Shakespeare.

He has written 154 sonnets with his own rhyming style ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, which is known Shakespearean sonnet, and he wrote some of the narrative poem and prose.
On the other hand, Rabindranath Tagore gave us a lot of writing including dramas, poems, and novels. He has written a lot of songs and verses writing like "Song Offerings" (translated in English) in bengali, that's called in bengali "gitanjali." For this writing, he has own the nobel prize in literature. In the contemporary time, Rabindranath becomes the idol all over the world.

William Shakespeare was the master and philosopher of English drama. "His play "Macbeth" is one of the most famous play, and it's successful artistically," T.S. Eliot says. Tagore has multiple talent, he was dramatist, poet, novelist, painter, letter writer, nationalist and a public figure.

In a way, we did not get Shakespeare in the public field like to democratic section to help protest or anything. In contrast, Tagore has helped and shows love for his country, we may know by reading his poems like "Where the Mind is Without Fear", "The Golden Boat", "Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata", "Freedom" and others.
Although Shakespeare is now yet most famous to the world more than Rabindranth Tagore. We have seen Tagore was alive 80 years, and Shakespreare was 52 years which was too little age than Tagore. Being famous, if Shakespeare was alive more years then it might be that he'd be more famous.
Tagore was too fast to write any famous piece of writing, and in contrast Shakespeare was too slow to make a new famous piece. The most famous writing in sonnet of Shakespeare is "Shall I Compare thee to Summer's Day." Although Tagore has a lot greatest poems as Shakespeare.
