Hemchandra Bandyopadhyay

Hemchandra Bandyopadhyay was born on 17 April 1838 in Gulita, in Hooghly, at the house of his maternal grandfather, who sent him to school in Calcutta; his studies were later interrupted for lack of money. A graduate of Presidency College in 1859 and a licentiate in law, he was a clerk, a school headmaster, briefly a court of first instance judge, then an advocate at the Calcutta High Court and, in 1890, a government pleader. A patriotic song published in 1872 earned him the disfavour of the administration and for a time passed for the anthem of Bengal. He died at Khidirpur, in Calcutta, on 24 May 1903.
