Sukanta Bhattacharya (bn: সুকান্ত ভট্টাচার্য) was one of the most honored poets of Bangla literature. He was called 'Young Nazrul' and 'Kishore Bidrohi Kobi', a reference to the great rebel poet Kazi Nazrul Islam for Sukanto's similar rebellious stance against the tyranny of the British Raj and the oppression by the social elites through the work of his poetry. He died of tuberculosis at the Jadavpur T. B. Hospital (later, K. S. Roy T. B. Hospital) in Kolkata at a very young age of 20.
