Noted Bengali Writer Buddhadeb Guha Passed Away

Eminent Bengali writer Buddhadeb Guha has passed away on 29^th August 2021.
Guha was a chartered accountant by profession but became a popular author early in life.
His fictional character Wrijuda, a popular figure in children’s literature along with his sidekick Rudra, was a hunter-turned-conservationist.
Guha spent his early years in what is now Bangladesh, and drew on his memories in Rangpur and Barisal in his Wrivu series.
