• Keep According to Sahitya Akademi, "Rangalal Bandyopadhyay (1827-97) was the first to usher in a new era of poetry under the influence of western poetry in the form of long patriotic poems based on history.... It was he who first infused into Bengali poetry the elements of action, conflict, tension, excitement, heroism and romance." [https://books.google.com/books?id=m1R2Pa3f7r0C&pg=PA81 Modern Indian Literature, an Anthology: Surveys and poems p. 81] (cited as a reference in the article). He is also discussed in scores of other books, just in English, discussing 19th century Bengali poetry and the formation of national identity, as the Google Books link above attests. The article would benefit by some editing and I hope to find the time to do some. 24.151.116.12 (talk) 18:44, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
