Sukumar Ranjan Das

Sukumar Ranjan Das was a Bengali-language writer from the British Raj period. The biographical details that can be confirmed easily are limited, but catalog and reference records identify him as a male author who wrote in Bangla, and his surviving works place him in the literary world of the 1920s.

His best-known English work is Chitta Ranjan, published in Calcutta in 1921 and later preserved by Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive. He also appears as the author of the Bengali book Satlahari, and archive records connect his name with Kolkata as a publisher as well as an author.

Taken together, these works suggest a writer interested in both literary expression and the public figures of his era. Because reliable biographical sources are scarce, much of his life remains unclear, but the books that survive still offer a useful glimpse of Bengali writing and print culture in the early twentieth century.
