Saratchandra Chattopadhyay was born on September 15, 1876 at Devanandapur in the Hooghly district of West Bengal. His father was Motilal Chattopadhyay and mother was Bhubanmohini. Saratchandra spent most of his childhood with his mother at her family's home in Bhagalpur, Bihar, from where he passed the University Entrance examination. Though he also attended college for about two years, he could not complete the studies. At the age of 27 he went to Burma and found a job as a clerk in a government office at Rangoon. He left Rangoon in 1916 and settled, first at Baje Shibpur, Howrah, near Kolkata. And then, about ten years later, he moved to his own house in Samtabed, a village on the banks of the Rupnarayan. Some time before his death he had built another house in Kolkata. He died in Kolkata on January 16, 1938.
His first short story was published in 1903 under his uncle's name Surendranath Ganguli. Baradidi, a novella, rather a long short-story, was published in 1907, now under his own name, in Bharati. While in Burma, he continued revising the drafts of many of his writings that he had first penned down at Bhagalpur, at the same time he worked on creating new fiction. Indeed, some of the most endearing characters he created, namely "Indranath" of Srikanta (1917), or "Lalu" of Chhelebelar Galpa (published as a book three months after his death in 1938) were based on his friend Rajendranath Majumdar or Raju of Bhagalpur. Since 1913, and particularly after 1916, Saratchandra's fame has been firmly established. He has been en extremely popular author ever since. Among his novels are Devdas (written in 1901 but published in 1917),Parineeta (1914), Biraj Bou (1914), Palli-Samaj (1916), Srikanta (in four parts; 1917, 1918, 1927, 1933), Charitraheen (1917), Grihadaha (1919),Pather-Dabi (1926), Shesh Prashno (1931), Bipradas (1935). Saratchandra's works have been repeatedly translated into many Indian languages. Many of these have also been successfully dramatized on stage and adapted to movies.
The revolutionary movement from Bengal operating in Burma and in Far East supplied the background of the romance Pather Dabi (The Demand of the Road, 1926). The novel for no cogent reason was proscribed by the Government. In Bipradas (1935) Chatterjee returns to the domestic novel but it scarcely reveals a new approach or a fresh appraisal. His last complete novel Sesh Prasna (The Final Question, 1931) is an attempt at the 'intellectual' novel where the meager theme is inflated by high brow talks on problems of the individual and of the society relating principally to love and marriage.
Some of the popular tales of Chatterjee were dramatized and performed on the public stage with considerable success. Chatterjee's works have been repeatedly translated into all the major Indian languages
