Nirad C. Chaudhuri

Article Abstract:

Writer Nirad Chaudhuri shifted away from orthodox Hindu beliefs as a teenager, becoming strongly attracted to the UK and English literature. He studied in Calcutta, India, but lacked the sustained application required for a university degree. He had editorial attachments to leading Calcutta magazines before working as secretary to a Bengali politician between 1937 and 1941. His first book, 'The Autobiography of an Unknown Indian,' was published in 1951, and he went on to become India's leading writer of English prose.
