Gopabandhu Das was born on 9 October 1877 in Suando village, near [[Puri,Odisha | Gopabandhu Das was born on 9 October 1877 in Suando village, near [[Puri]], Odisha in then British India. His mother was Swarnamayee Devi, the third wife of Daitari Das. His father was a [[mukhtiar]] and the family were reasonably well-off. Das married Apti at the age of twelve but continued his education. He had basic schooling in the village before progressing to a middle school nearby. Then, in 1893, by which time his mother had died, Das joined [[Puri Zilla School]]. There he was influenced by [[Mukhtiar Ramchandra Das]], a teacher who was both a nationalist and a proponent of public service in aid of people in distress. Becoming organising his fellow children in the spirit of co-operation, the inadequate response of authorities for the victims of an outbreak of [[cholera]] prompted him to start a voluntary corps called Puri Sava Samiti. Its members helped those suffering from the outbreak and also cremated the dead.<ref name="misra" /> | ||
Das, whose father by now had died, progressed to [[Ravenshaw College]] in [[Cuttack]]. He became a regular contributor to local literary magazines called ''Indradhanu'' and ''Bijuli'', where he argued that any modern literary movement, just like any modern nation, could not be a clean break with the old but rather had to acknowledge and base itself on its past. In one instance, he submitted a satirical poem that so enraged the Inspector of Schools that Das was punished when he refused to apologise for it.<ref name="misra" /> | Das, whose father by now had died, progressed to [[Ravenshaw College]] in [[Cuttack]].
