[4] Suresh spent a wild childhood, fighting feral cats and dogs, fishing, joining in hunts, and risking life and limb in every conceivable way.

He brawled with British soldiers on Calcutta’s Maidan, but also became close to his missionary teachers at the London Mission College in Bhowanipore, and left home after turning Christian at the age of 14.

From there he moved to South America with the tiger and two lions which he had received from Karl Hagenbach, an animal expert from Hamburg, Germany.

[6] A young Biswas debuted with his Tiger, two lions and an elephant named "Bosco",[5] to great acclaim in Buenos Aires, Argentina, drawing audiences from all ranks of social strata and even aristocrats.

The reason for this change of profession is unclear, but researchers generally agree on the fact that he had fallen in love with a woman by the name of Maria Augusta Fernandez, who insisted on seeing him in an uniform.

He was survived by his wife, Maria Augusta Biswas, and their six children Suresh, Jorge Cleveland, Luiz Merodack, Clarisse, Hermes and Stella.

[10] Biswas was mentioned in Satyajit Ray's novel "Chhinnamastar Abhishap" (Trans: The Curse of the Goddess), featuring the fictional detective, Feluda[11] and also in "Du Chakay Duniya" by first Indian globe trotter Bimal Mukherjee.
