            Michael Madhusudan Dutta was popular in 19th century Bengali poet and dramatist. He is considered the father of Bangla Sonnet. He was born in Sagordari on the bank of the Kopotaksha River, a village in Keshobpur Upazila under Jessore district. His father was Rajnaryan Dutt, a pleader. His mother was Jahnabi Devi. From an early age, Madhusudan aspired to be an English man in form and manner. Though he was born in a sophisticated Hindu family, he took Christianity as a young man, much to the ire of his family, and adopted the first name Michael. In his childhood, he was recognized by his teachers as a precious child with a gift of literary talent. His early exposure to English education and European literature and his college inspired him to imitate the English in taste, manners and intellect. Since his adolescence he started believing that he was born on the wrong side of the planet, and that his society was unable to appreciate his intellect. He also believed that the west would be more receptive to his creative genius. Michael was an ardent follower of the famous English poet Lord Byron. So after adopting Christianity, he went to Europe and started composing poetry and drama almost entirely in English. Though he proved his higher level of intellectual ability, he failed to gain the right appreciation. With his utter frustration he composed a Sonnet in Bangla “Kopotaksha Nad” which earned him huge reputation in Bangla. Gradually he could realize that his true identity lies here in his Bengal and he was a Sojourner in Europe. Afterwards he regretted his attraction for England and the Occident. He came to Bengal and devoted himself to Bangla Literature from this period. He is the poet to write the first Bangla epic “Meghnad Badh Kabya” It is an exceptional work in Bangla Literature. He died in Kolkata, India on 29 June 1873.
