Jibanananda Das was a renowned Indian poet, writer, novelist, and essayist in the Bengali language. He studied English literature at Presidency College, Kolkata, and obtained his MA from Calcutta University. Despite facing financial challenges throughout his career, Das taught at various colleges without achieving tenure. Following the partition of India, he settled in Kolkata. Das, who was known for his reclusive and introverted nature and for not publishing much of his work during his lifetime, is now recognized as one of the greatest poets in the Bengali language. Some of his notable works include “Ruposhi Bangla” and “Banalata Sen.”
