Bharatendu Harishchandra was a poet, playwright, and writer from India. He wrote various dramas, life sketches, and travel stories, and he shaped public opinion through new media such as reports, publications, letters to the editor, translations, and literary works. Harishchandra expressed the people's anguish, the country's poverty, dependency, inhuman exploitation, the restlessness of the middle class, and the desire for the country's prosperity under the pen name "Rasa." He was a powerful Hindu "traditionalist," defining an unified Hindu religion through Vaishnava devotionalism. On January 6, 1885, he passed away.
