Answer:
An icon of modern Indian children’s literature, Sukumar was born on October 30, 1887 to a legendary father, Upendrakishore Raychowdhury and Bidhumukhi Devi. One of six siblings, he displayed signs of his creative genius early in life. His first poem “Nodi” or “River” was published in the magazine Mukul when he was barely eight years old.
The Bengal Renaissance was in full bloom then, and Upendrakishore Raychowdhury happened to be one of its leading luminaries. The story of modern Indian children’s literature actually begins at the time of this great cultural resurgence, between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the Ray family made an immense contribution to its development.
Writer, artist, photographer, musician, composer, entrepreneur and a pioneer of printing technology in India, Upendrakishore too, had begun to write at a young age, contributing a children’s story to the magazine Sakha, aged 20. Tuntunir Boi, Cheleder Ramoyana and Cheleder Mohabharata are among his well-known books for children. A brilliant artist, he illustrated them himself. He also wrote many articles on popular science. However, Goopy Gyne, Bagha Byne a comic fantasy adventure, remains his most famous work. In 1969, it was made into a much-loved children’s film by his illustrious grandson, Satyajit Ray.
