Bankim Chandra Chattopadhya (1838-94), was an Indian nationalist writer, from Bengal. He also popularised a Bengali prose style that became the vehicle of the major nationalist literature of the region. In 1872 he founded the Bangadarshan, a journal, modelled on the Spectator which was published from this house. He frequently used the pseudonym Ramchandra and also wrote many novels in this home, which combined political and philosophical commentary with historical romance. His favourite theme was India as a divine motherland.
