He was born on 27 September 1906 in Purnia, Bengal Presidency, where Indubhusan Bhaduri, his father, practised law.
This book earned him considerable fame, and was translated into English in 1965 as part of the UNESCO Collection of Representative Works.
His other noteworthy works include Gananayak (1948), Chitragupter File (1949), Dhorai Charita Manas (2 parts, 1949, 1951), Achin Ragini (1954), Aparichita (1954), Sangkat (1957), Alok Drsti (1964), Paruyar Notebook (collection of writings) etc.
Partha Chatterjee in his celebrated work The Politics of the Governed analyses the narrative of Dhorai charita manas which according to Chatterjee could be read as 'a faithful ethnography of colonial governance and national movement in India'[4] His short stories are satirical critique of judiciary, partisan politics, crude feminism etc.
Bhaduri's stories are the instances of double session, where the existing civil and political society and the stereotypical literary critiques are at a time attacked with subtle wit.
