Bhudev Mukhopadhyay

Who was Bhudev Mukhopadhyay?

Bhudev Mukhopadhyay was a writer and intellectual in 19th century Bengal. His works were considered ardent displays of nationalism and philosophy in the period of the Bengal renaissance.

Whereas the Young Bengal movement was more concerned with the dynamics of social change, their younger contemporaries, a group, to which Bhudev Mukhopdahyay belonged, also came out from the same college with western education, and joined the quest for literary achievements. There was a kind of balance between differing sensibilities - Michael Madhusudan Dutt against Bhudev Mukhopadhyay, Rajnarayan Basu against Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay
