Nakul Chandra Bhuyan (Assamese: নকুলচন্দ্ৰ ভূঞা; 1895-1968) was an Assamese historian, playwright, essayist and a short story writer.[1]
Life and Career
Nakul Chandra Bhuyan was born in Charing in Sibsagar District of Assam in the year 1895.[citation needed] After having passed his matriculation from Jorhat Government Boys' School in 1916, he went on to pursue further studies in Calcutta. He returned from Calcutta in 1921 and began working as a Librarian in Dibrugarh, Assam. Later, he joined as an assistant in the Chief Engineering Department of Dibru-Sadiya Railways and thereafter as assistant in the Deputy Commissioner's office. In 1923 he was transferred to Tezpur, where he came into contact with various theatre personalities working with the Baan Theatre. This inspired him to start writing stage plays. Bhuyan was the president of the Asam Sahitya Sabha in 1967 held at Dibrugarh district, Assam.[2] He also compiled and edited the first authentic edition of Bihu songs, titled "Bohagi" in 1923. Padmadhar Chaliha, the poet-composer of some memorable lyrics inspired by the freedom movement wrote around 1921 an introduction and called the Bihu songs pastoral poetry. The Times of Assam in its adulatory review (May 19, 1923) went a step further, describing the poetry as comparable to the best of pastoral poetry of the European tradition. [3]
In 1924, Bhuyan gave up government job and joined Cinamara Tea Estate as Assistant Manager. His sincerity, dedication, and hard work led him to the honorable position of Senior Manager of Jorehaut Tea Company. In 1954, he retired from Borsapori Tea Estate as Senior Manager.
