Michael Madhusudan Dutta was born on 25 January 1824. He was a Bengali poet and playwright. He is considered one of the pioneers of Bengali literature. He was born in Sagardari, a village in Keshabpur Upazila, Jessore District of Bengal, to a Hindu family. His family being reasonably well-off, he received an education in the English language and additional tutorship in English at home. Rajnarayan had intended for this Western education to open the doors for a government position for his son. Later he had gotten more interested in English literature and had written many many kinds of literature in English, though none were published. At last, when he started writing in Bangla again, his literature had been brought to everyone's attention and thus he had begun a new Journey.
