You learn something everyday. In early 1800s people in rural Bengal refused to sent their son to Kolkata coz their belief was that they will end up as atheist & xitan. From - biography of Taranath Tarkabachaspati of Kalna. However, it's his grandfather who piques my interest.

সেই ১৭০০ শতকেও রামরাম তর্কসিদ্ধান্তকে বর্ধমানে লোকে বাঙাল ভট্টাচার্য্য বলে ডাকত। বোঝাই যাচ্ছে, "বাঙাল" বিশেষণটা হঠাৎ করে উদ্ভূত হয়নি। এসম্পর্কে সম্ভবত জ্ঞানেন্দ্রমোহনের অভিমতই সত‍্য। বঙ্গের অধিবাসী থেকে "বাঙাল" বিশেষণটির উৎপত্তি ঘটেছে।

How Brits forcefully destroyed Bengal's textile industry and drove Weaver's out of their job. Karma will back to haunt them one day.

Maharashtrian Bramhins of kashI became jealous of Taranath Tarkabachaspati after he wrote a Commentary on Siddhanta-kaumudi coz till now they weren't able to do it "& a Bengali scholar did it."

Dhenkanal king himself was a great scholar of Vedanta & he invited all scholars at Kolkata to write a commentary on Siddhantavindu. Except Taranath everyone failed. He wrote a book called Siddhantavindusara & created a commentary on Bramhastotra of Shankaracharya.

He also collected Veda mantras and wrote a book(Tuladanadi Paddhati) on Karma-kanda part of Veda.
