In a video tribute shared by Sarbjit Mitra, Swagata Ghosh and Sourav Niyogi, it was mentioned that the Bengal Heritage Foundation will celebrate the 175th death anniversary of Dwarkanath Tagore on August 1, at 1 pm at the Kensal Green Cemetery.
The grave of Dwarkanath Tagore is located at the dissenters’ section of the Kensal Green Cemetery. To a layman, he is the grandfather of Rabindranath Tagore. Regrettably, this is how he is mostly remembered. However, he was a prominent personality who often featured in the English Press during the Victorian era. He was also the first Bengali merchant-entrepreneur to set up an Indo-British business partnership that traded sugar, salt, tea, coal and indigo.
