Summary
Rupasi Bangla (Bengal the beautiful or The Beauteous Bengal) is a poetry book by Bengali poet Jibanananda Das. The book was written in 1934, and published posthumously in 1957 by Signet Press in Kolkata. The cover was designed by a fellow Bengali Satyajit Ray. The Rupasi Bangla (Beautiful Bengal) celebrated the beauty of the Bengali countryside. Though Das himself “withheld publishing” the collection, soon after the publication of Rupasi Bangla became an immediate favorite and was especially cherished by Bengali nationalists fighting in 1971 for Bangladeshi secession from Pakistan.

Jibanananda Das
Jibanananda Das (17 February 1899 - 22 October 1954), born in Barisal, Bengal Presidency (Present day Bangladesh), was a Bengali poet, writer, novelist and essayist. While not particularly recognised initially, today Das is acknowledged as “the premier poet of the post-Tagore era in India.” One of his translators considers Jibanananda Das as “Bengal’s greatest modern poet” and its “best loved poet” too. For the poets in the latter half of the twentieth century Das “has practically come to take the place of Tagore.” Das’s oeuvre is eclectic and resists classification under any single heading or school.
