About This Book
A biographical study traces Chitta Ranjan's family roots in Bikrampur, early education, and decision to practise law, surveys his contributions to Bengali literature, and sketches his private life and household relations. It follows his intellectual journey from Western-influenced atheism to Vaishnava and Vedantic devotion, his rejection of caste prejudice and advocacy of social reforms such as inter-caste marriage, and documents his patriotic engagement and political activity, including prominent participation in the Non-co-operation movement.
