About The Book

Akshaykumar Dutta (1820-1886), the pioneer of modern Indian Rationalism, described all existing scriptures and revelations as imaginary, and declared this overt and visible world as the greatest and best book written by the supreme being Himself. In 'auspicious' days when millions rushed to take a holy dip in the Ganga, Akshaykumar set out on the opposite direction to bathe in the pond. He chose to set out on journey on days and hours marked 'inauspicious' by the astrologers. He broke all taboos regarding caste and encouraged young men of Bengal to study medicine defying their superstitious fathers. Akshaykumar s role in the development of modern Bengali language and culture is also significant. As the editor (1843 - 1855) of Tattwabodhini Patrika, he initiated dissemination of scientific knowledge and information. This ultimately led to the growth of modern Bengali prose with all its beauty and vigour.
