Devdas Chakravarti

Devdas Chakravarti, born in Kolkata in the early 20th century, was the son of Mr. Aronnyo Kumar Chakravarti and Gouribala Das. Due to caste-based prejudices, his father rejected him, and Gouribala’s father arranged for her to marry a document writer. Devdas and his mother converted to Islam and adopted new names. Devdas later gained popularity in a neighboring country but remained deeply attached to India. Tragically, the deep attachment resulted in his demise, as he and his family were assassinated by a pomegranate salesman. Although most of Devdas’s offspring, born to his wife whom he married at the tender age of 12 years old, did not survive, two managed to live long enough to carry on his glorious legacy. It was said that the turmoil Devdas felt over their fates was so profound, it caused him to turn in his grave with enough force to generate electricity for the United States of Gaypalganj
