Answer:
Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, Chatterjee also spelled Catterji, Bengali Baṇkim Candra Caṭṭopādhyāy, (born June 26/27, 1838, near Naihati, Bengal, India—died April 8, 1894, Calcutta), Indian author, whose novels firmly established prose as a literary vehicle for the Bengali language and helped create in India a school of fiction on the European model.
Bankim Chandra was a member of an orthodox Brahman family and was educated at Hooghly College, at Presidency College, Calcutta, and at the University of Calcutta, of which he was one of the first graduates. From 1858, until his retirement in 1891, he served as a deputy magistrate in the Indian civil service.
Some of Bankim Chandra’s youthful compositions appeared in the newspaper Sambad Prabhakar, and in 1858 he published a volume of poems entitled Lalita O Manas. For a while he wrote in English, and his novel Rajmohan’s Wife appeared serially in Indian Field in 1864. His first notable Bengali work was the novel Durgeśnandinī, which features a Rajput hero and a Bengali heroine. In itself it is of indifferent quality, but in the philosopher Debendranath Tagore’s words, it took “the Bengali heart by storm,” and with it the Bengali novel was full born. Kapālkuṇḍalā, a love story against a gruesome background of Tantric rites, was published in 1866; and Mṛṇālinī, which was set at the time of the first Muslim invasion of Bengal, in 1869.
