He was brought up in his uncle's house after the death of his mother. Gupta spent most of his childhood in Kolkata. At that time, poets were named <i>Kobiwala</i> and the <i>kobiwalas</i> were not so civilized in language. Sexual words and clashes were common. But Ishwar Chandra Gupta created a different style of poetry.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Inter, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">He started the newspaper <i>Samvad Prabhakar </i>with Jogendra Mohan Tagore on January 28, 1831,</span><span style="font-size: 12px; text-wrap: nowrap;"> </span>which finally became a daily on June 4, 1839. Many Bengali writers of the 19th century started their careers with that magazine.<span style="font-size: 12px; text-wrap: nowrap;"> </span>He reintroduced into Bengali poetry the mediaeval style with double meaning (already seen in Sandhyakar Nandi and Bharatchandra):</p><dl style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Inter, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em; text-align: start;"><dd style="margin: 0px;"><dl style="margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em;"><dd style="margin: 0px;"><i>কে বলে ঈশ্বর গুপ্ত, ব্যপ্ত চরাচর,</i></dd><dd style="margin: 0px;"><i>যাহার প্রভায় প্রভা পায় প্রভাকর।</i></dd></dl></dd></dl><dl style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Inter, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em; text-align: start;"><dd style="margin: 0px;"><dl style="margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em;"><dd style="margin: 0px;"><i>Ke bole Ishwar Gupta, byapta charachar,</i></dd><dd style="margin: 0px;"><i>Jahar prabhaye prabha paye Prabhakar.</i></dd></dl></dd></dl><p style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Inter, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-align: start;">'Ishwar' means God, 'Gupta' means hidden and 'Prabhakar' is the sun. So a translation runs:</p><dl style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Inter, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em; text-align: start;"><dd style="margin: 0px;"><dl style="margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em;"><dd style="margin: 0px;">Who says God is hidden?

So a second meaning of the poem, making a tongue-in-cheek reference to the author, runs:</p><dl style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Inter, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em; text-align: start;"><dd style="margin: 0px;"><dl style="margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em;"><dd style="margin: 0px;">Who says Ishwar (Gupta) is hidden?

He did not describe the life of Gods and Goddesses, but the daily life of human beings. He also wrote biographies of many Bengali poets and musicians.</p><p style="margin: 0.5em 0px 1em;">Ishwar Chandra Gupta often satirized the so-called modern class who blindly followed the colonial British power.</p><dl style="margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em;"><dd style="margin: 0px;"><dl style="margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em;"><dd style="margin: 0px;">Tumi ma kalpataru</dd><dd style="margin: 0px;">Amra shob posha goru</dd><dd style="margin: 0px;">Shikhi ni shing bankano</dd><dd style="margin: 0px;">Khai kebol khol-bichuli-ghash</dd><dd style="margin: 0px;">Jano ranga amla<dl style="margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em;"><dd style="margin: 0px;"><dl style="margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em;"><dd style="margin: 0px;">Tule mamla<dl style="margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em;"><dd style="margin: 0px;"><dl style="margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em;"><dd style="margin: 0px;">Na bhange gamla</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd><dd style="margin: 0px;">Ma!</dd><dd style="margin: 0px;">Pele bhushi<dl style="margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em;"><dd style="margin: 0px;"><dl style="margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em;"><dd style="margin: 0px;">Tatei kushi<dl style="margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em;"><dd style="margin: 0px;"><dl style="margin: 0.2em 0px 0.5em 1em;"><dd style="margin: 0px;">Ghushi khele bachbo na!</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></div><h2 class="section-heading collapsible-heading open-block" style="align-items: center; background-color: white; border-bottom: 1px solid var(--border-color-muted); clear: left; color: #202122; cursor: pointer; display: flex; flex-basis: 0px; flex-grow: 1; font-family: "Linux Libertine", Georgia, Times, "Source Serif Pro", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0.5em 0px; position: relative; word-break: break-word;"><span class="mw-editsection" style="align-self: center; margin-bottom: -1em; margin-right: -12px; margin-top: -1em; visibility: visible;"><a class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet" href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ishwar_Chandra_Gupta&action=edit&section=3" role="button" style="align-items: center; background: none rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border-color: transparent; border-radius: 2px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #202122; display: inline-flex; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: 700; gap: 4px; justify-content: center; margin: 0px; max-width: 28em; min-height: 44px; min-width: 44px; overflow: hidden; padding-left: 11px; padding-right: 11px; text-decoration-line: none; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-wrap: nowrap; transition-duration: 0.1s; transition-property: background-color, color, border-color, box-shadow;" title="Edit section: Political views"><span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit" style="background-image: url("/w/load.php?modules=skins.minerva.icons.wikimedia&image=edit&format=original&lang=en&skin=minerva&version=1srtl"); background-position: 50% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: max(1.25em, 20px); display: inline-block; height: 1.25em; mask-position: center center; mask-repeat: no-repeat; mask-size: max(1.25em, 20px); min-height: 20px; min-width: 20px; vertical-align: text-bottom; width: 1.25em;"></span><span style="border: 0px; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px); display: block; height: 1px; margin: -1px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; position: absolute; width: 1px;">edit</span></a></span></h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><section class="mf-section-3 collapsible-block collapsible-block-js open-block" id="content-collapsible-block-2" style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #202122; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Inter, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;"><p style="font-size: 1rem; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em;">In his early days he was a conservative, opposing the Young Bengal movement as well as disapproving of widow remarriage.

She stepped on stage only when she was six years old, escorted by her mom's friend Chunibala Devi (the famous Indir Thakrun of Ray's 'Pather Panchali' movie). Nibhanani Devi's first popular drama was 'Balidan' (written by Girish Ghosh). She joined in Calcutta radio station in the year 1930. Gradually she became accomplished with songs and dances.

He recovered the deity and started 'puja' under a shed of palm leaves (made by him). Before his death, he asked a brahmin Tinkari Bandyopadhyay (তিনকড়ি বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়) to perform puja of Ma Durga regularly, after his death.

It is a very old town, occupied by Dutch during British raj in India.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This royal palace of Goswami family is situated on the bank of river Ganges near ferry ghat.

It is a 75-feet mural - the tallest of Kolkata.</p><p>The mural was created by Pune-based artist Afzan Pirzade and commissioned by St+art India (an organisation that creates public art projects), in partnership with Asian Paints, in December 2021. “St+art India had run an online campaign asking people to volunteer naked walls that could be beautified. The CESC Substation in Patuli was ultimately selected, and they roped me in,” says <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6973460484243747"

</script> decided that he wanted to select something that would instill a sense of pride in people. After scouring the internet, Pirzade came across the magic of Kumartuli. “I had never heard of or seen something like this before. Outside Kolkata, we appreciate Durga Puja, but we never get to know the people that make the idols. I decided to study the artisans, their community and culture. Their process fascinated me, because it is extremely similar to what is taught in art schools. I was mesmerised by how these artisans have a culture of generational learning where they are taught by their fathers, who were in turn taught by theirs. I knew then that I couldn’t choose any other topic for the mural,” he <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6973460484243747"

</script>“Kolkata deserves an art colony inside the main city. The walls need to have some character, which will not only help tourism, but also instill pride in residents,” he says. He also reveals a dream of creating a mural on The 42, Kolkata’s tallest building. “I really hope that I get the chance to do more murals on the city’s rich art and culture,” he says.
