Bibhutibhushan was born on 12 September 1894 at his maternal uncle's house in Ghoshpara-Muraripur village, in the 24-Parganasof Bengal.
Before he became a writer, Bibhutibhushan took up various jobs to make ends meet. He taught school, became a secretary, managed an estate. Finally, in 1921 he published his first short story, 'Upekshita', in Probashi, one of the leading literary magazines of Bengal at that time. However, it was not until 1928, when his first novel, "Pather Panchali" was published, that Bibhutibhushan got critical attention. With 'Pather Panchali' Bibhutibhushan became, instantly, a prominent name in Bengali literature. At the age of 46 Bibhutibhushan married Rama Chattopadhayay after an unlikely love affair between a woman and a man over double her age. In 1947 she gave birth to their son, Taradas. On 1 November, 1950, Bibhutibhushan died from a coronary attack while staying at Ghatshila. He was fifty-six.
