Kalidas Chattopadhyay (Template:Lang-bn), better known as Kali Mirza (Template:Lang-bn), was an 18th-century composer of tappā music in Bengal. A contemporary of Nidhu Babu, he composed over 400 tappās. He received his training in the cities of Delhi and Lucknow. He was born at Guptipara, Hooghly District in present-day West Bengal.[1] His name, "mirza", comes from the Muslim clothes he often wore.[2]
