Vivekananda Mukhopadhyaya

[4] Mukhopadhayay was born in an impoverished Bengali Hindu family to Kuldananda Mukhopadhyay and Manomohini Devi in the Domsar village of Madaripur sub-division of Faridpur district of undivided Bengal in 1904.

His ancestral home was in Chhoygaon village in Madaripur sub-division which was lost due to erosion of the Padma.

[5] It was his poems which attracted the attention of Satyendranath Mazumdar, famous editor of the new Bengali daily, Ananda Bazar Patrika and in 1925 he joined as an unpaid apprentice.

He distinguished himself immediately as a powerful nationalist writer and rose to the position of Assistant Editor in the same year.

During his tenure in Anandabazar, the Government forfeited the surety of the daily and demanded higher amount of deposit as punishment for publishing an editorial written by him titled Sahitye Sarkari Dauratmya ("Governmental Mischief in Literature"), a protest against official censorship imposed on creative writing.

After a rewarding stint of 12 years with Anandabazar, in 1937 Mukhopadhyay joined a new Bengali daily Jugantar started by the Amritabazar Patrika group.

He wrote the description of the liberation war in various papers including Jugantar, which played an important role in forming public opinion in favour of Bangladesh.

His fearless well-thought-out emotional discussions and sharp insights into all kinds of crises in the life of the country and the nation, from documentary analysis of the world situation, have a profound impact on the reading society.
