'''Bhudev Mukhopadhyay''' (1827–1894) was a writer and intellectual in 19th century Bengal. His works were considered ardent displays of nationalism and philosophy in the period of the [[Bengal renaissance]]. His novel "Anguriya Binimoy" (1857) was the first historical novel written in Bengal.<ref>Majumdar, Swapan, ''Literature and Literary Life in Old Calcutta,'' in ''Calcutta, the Living City'', Vol I, edited by Sukanta Chaudhuri, pp. 113–14, Oxford University Press, {{ISBN|0-19-563696-1}}.</ref>

==Early life==
He was born at 37, Haritaki Bagan Lane in [[North Kolkata]] on 22 February 1827 to Pandit Biswanath Tarkabhusan, a renowned Sanskrit scholar. His ancestral village was Natibpur ([[Khanakul]]) in [[Hooghly District]].<ref>''Bhudev Jibani'' (Ed. 1), Bhattacharya, Kashinath, Calcutta, 1911, p. 1</ref> He was a student of [[Sanskrit College]] and [[Presidency College, Kolkata|Hindu College]], studying at the same time as other [[Bengal renaissance]] figures such as [[Michael Madhusudan Dutt]]. After completing his education at Hindu College, Bhudev became the headmaster of the Hindu Hitarthi School in 1846. He later founded Chandannagar Seminary and taught there. In 1848, he joined [[Madrasa 'Aliya|Calcutta Madrasa]](Madrasa 'Aliya) as English teacher. In 1856, he was selected for the post of Principal of Hooghly Normal School through a competitive examination for which his former class-mate [[Michael Madhusudan Dutt]] was also a candidate.<ref name = "Bose380">Sengupta, Subodh Chandra and Bose, Anjali (editors), 1976/1998, ''Sansad Bangali Charitabhidhan'' (Biographical dictionary) Vol I, {{in lang|bn}}, p. 380, {{ISBN|81-85626-65-0}}</ref>

==Later career==
In 1862 he was appointed Assistant Inspector of Schools. He was appointed as the first Indian headmaster of [[Howrah Zilla School]]. He was later appointed Inspector of Schools and served in the states of [[Bengal]], [[Bihar]] and [[Odisha]]. Recognizing his services, Mukhopadhyay was awarded the CIE (Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire) in 1877 by the [[British India|British]].

In 1882 he was appointed as Director of Public Instruction and was also nominated to the Lt.-Governor's Council and the Education Commission later that year. Mukhopadhyay retired from public service in 1883. He was also involved with several educational journals including Shiksadarpan O Sangbadsar and the Education Gazette, which he edited. This involvement lasted from 1868 until his retirement.

His sense of nationalism was so strong that the English principal of Presidency College once noted, "Bhudev with his CIE and 1500 a month is still anti-British."<ref name = "Bose380"/>

==Writings==
Mukhopadhyay was a renowned writer and thinker and combined [[nationalism]] with [[rationalism]] in his works. He strived to reform Hindu customs and family laws to synergize with modern times. He had an immense knowledge of Sanskrit, as evidenced by his numerous essays, and critiques of [[Sanskrit]] literature. He wrote several books for young people, historical novels and fused many different philosophies into characters he portrayed.
