About the author
Sukumar Ranjan Das was a Bengali-language author from British India. Publicly available catalog records and library-style sources consistently connect him with Chitta Ranjan, a biographical work on the Indian nationalist leader Chitta Ranjan Das, and Bengali sources also attribute Hindu Jyotirbidya to him.
Very little biographical detail appears to be firmly documented in the sources available online. A Bengali Wikisource author page lists his birth date and death date as unknown and identifies Bengali as his mother tongue, while Project Gutenberg and other book listings help confirm his authorship rather than offering a fuller life story.
That means he is best understood today through his books: a writer whose name survives mainly in catalogs, public-domain editions, and readers' interest in historical Bengali nonfiction.
