He translated Bengali and Santal poetry and plays into English and German, and also translated literature from German and French into Bengali. He also published a number of books of essays, and was well known for his distinctive prose style.[1][2]

Education

Dasgupta was born in 1933 in Kolkata. He studied at Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan, and then at St. Xavier's College, the Presidency College, and finally at the University of Calcutta, gaining a Ph.D. for his studies on the lyric in Indian poetry.[1] He used also to be associated vigorously with the little magazines and translate the original German works into Bengali.

Career

After completing his Ph.D., Dasgupta taught comparative literature and Bengali at the Department of Comparative Literature (founded by Buddhadeva Bose) at Jadavpur University from 1957 until 1971,[1] when he went to Germany on a Humboldt Foundation Fellowship.[3] Since 1971, he taught at the faculty of the South Asia Institute of the University of Heidelberg, Germany. He was closely associated with the Deutsche-Indische Gessellschaft (DIG), which is a premier institution for promoting close links between India and Germany.[4]

A poet much admired by his fellow poets and the wannabes, his poetry is known for both thematic and technical innovations. The German government felicitated him for his contribution to bring together two different cultures together by awarding him the Goethe Medal in 1985.[5]
