The Reverend Lal Behari Day, who had converted to Christianity, was a Christian missionary and a pioneer of Indian English writing. He was a journalist, writer and collector of Bengali folk tales, which he published in English.
He wrote about peasant life and the life of rural Bengal. His novel
Govinda Samanta (1874) was celebrated as an account of the lives of the rural and working class populations and earned the admiration of Charles Darwin.
Folk-Tales of Bengal (1883) was praised widely and is still regarded with great affection.
His personal life was marked by bold choices made from early youth. Day was born to a family of Subarna-banik caste in Sonapalasi near Burwan. He came to Calcutta and studied at Reverend Alexander Duff’s General Assembly Institution (now Scottish Church Collegiate School) where under Duff’s influence he converted to Christianity in 1843, when he was 19.
