He first appeared in Rijudar Songe Jongole, published April, 1973. Rijuda, who was a former hunter, later on became a conservator. The books of Rijuda teach us a great deal of things about the forests of India and about its beauty. It also knocks some moral sense into the readers.{{cite web |url=http://www.calcuttaweb.com/js/popup.php?pic=/shop/usa/book/buddhadeb_guha.jpg&picdesc=RIJUDAR_SONGE_LABANGIBONE |title=Rijudar_Songe_Labangibone |publisher=Calcuttaweb.com |accessdate=2012-07-15 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120222045823/http://www.calcuttaweb.com/js/popup.php?pic=%2Fshop%2Fusa%2Fbook%2Fbuddhadeb_guha.jpg&picdesc=RIJUDAR_SONGE_LABANGIBONE |archivedate=22 February 2012 }}
