Bhakti Vinod Thakur (Kedar Nath Dutta)
(2 Sept 1838 to 23 June 1914)
His childhood was spent in his maternal grandfatherโs house, from where he came to Calcutta, at the age of thirteen, sometime after the demise of his father, to get his education under the direct guidance of Kashi Prasad Ghosh(5), the literary luminary of the time, in whose atmosphere rose many a literary genius among who may be mentioned the names of Sambhu Chandra Mukherjee (6) and Krishna Das Paul. (7) Kashi Prasad was the common centre of the literary sphere of his time and the โHindu intelligencerโ (8) of which he was the Editor, drew many a writer to learn from him the art of writing English correctly. Major Richardson, commonly known as Shakespeare Richardson, (9) often met Kashi Prasad at his residence in Cornwallis Square and discussed literary subjects. It was our Thakurโs business to read to Kashi Prasad the articles which were presented to him to be passed as fit for publication in the magazines and newspapers. Within a short time he studied all the works in Kashi Prasadโs library and freely availed himself of the use of the โPublic Libraryโ.[A Glimpse into the Life Of Thakur Bhakti Vinoda (Kedarnath Dutta) by Sฤtkari Cattopฤdhyฤya (1916)]
