Michael Madhusudan Dutta , the most colourful character of 18th century.



At the very outset I should honestly admit that it would be my audacity to discuss the literary work of Michael Madhusudan Dutta. I shall try to discuss  Madhusudan Dutta as a person.

Personally I think he was born in Bengal much early. As  He was much advanced in comparison to our prevailing society. He was born in a conservative Hindu family of Jessore while he was attracted towards
Christian religion  and changed religion from Hinduism to Christian despite the severe objections by his parents.
He didn't listen to them and left the family and was deprived from the family property.

He was a brilliant person having sound knowledge about Hinduism despite the fact he left the same. He had been  to England to be a Barrister.After passing Bar at law he returned to the country but unfortunately he was not successful in Law practice.

He however , served in different places. He was  an extremely extravagant person and was in the habit of leading a luxurious life and as a result he had to face frequent hardships.

In family life unfortunately he did not enjoy happiness. As a result he married  twice. While he was in foreign country he was about to face starvation but Iswar Chandra Vidya Sagar  came forward to help him.

He was attacked with various illness and  ultimately expired only at the age of forty eight .

A talented person like him was rarely born in Bengal. He is our pride and fortunately His grave is situated in Kolkata where we may pay our Respect to him.
